This study aims to provide a framework to predict factors significant for creative engineering design performance of freshmen and senior architecture students. Since different environments demand utilisation of a rather interdisciplinary approach of design-cognition types of teaching and learning, an advanced model of creative engineering design process has been proposed to measure multifaceted effects of the architecture study programme. For the study, 108 freshmen and 98 senior architecture students were surveyed for attitudes towards engineering, proactivity, situational interest, perception of learning, and satisfaction with design work environment and tested for creative engineering design on fluency, flexibility, originality and usefulness of designs or solutions generated. Two models were developed based on social cognition supported by self-determination theory using predictive modelling. Results demonstrate that for freshmen creative design work is not well explained by the social-cognitive theory model, while for their senior counterparts the same is strongly explained. Student proactivity was a crucial predictor in perception of control over learning solution-based creative design work, especially in senior students. As the strongest negative predictor, tediousness toward engineering was identified in social-cognitive learning, pointing to the importance of engineering knowledge, beliefs, opinions, emotions, and responses towards wider definition of technology and engineering. Such students more likely do not utilise potential of technology and engineering to work on problem- and solution-driven design tasks to develop creativity. The findings are of particular interest for architecture education curriculum designers, design course conductors and different organisations to provide sustainable, creative and market-competitive design solutions.
