The early stages of vetting the quality of products implemented in their departments. Panel appointed
refers to areas in the department. Each department will have their final product evaluated by outside
panel of judges.

Research Methodology
This is a descriptive study using a survey questionnaire as a tool to gather information. According to [12],
a survey is useful when researchers want to collect data relating to the phenomenon that is not observed
directly. A questionnaire is also an instrument that can reduce expenses, time and energy in collecting
data. A total of 130 students involved in the final project provided feedback. The questionnaire is divided
into four sections. The first part contains questions about the respondents’ demographic such as gender,
age, programs and department. The second part consists of the students understanding of the process
involved in producing innovation project. Thirdly, measuring the students embedded value of creative
and innovative in final project. The fourth part is to analyze the culture of creativity and innovation of
students’ final project.
Measurement data for second to fourth part is using a Likert scale to measure attitudes, opinions
and perceptions of students. Respondents rated 5 scale options, 1 = strongly disagree (STB), 2 =disagreed
(TB), 3 = not sure (TP), 4 = agree (B), and 5 = strongly agree (SB). Data were analyzed using the
Statistical Program for Social Science(SPSS). Descriptive statistics were used to determine the
percentage frequency and average. Interpretation of the mean score was used to determine the
understanding of creative and innovative culture among the respondents.

Findings of the Study
Data interpretation has resulted in the mean value of respondents according to research objectives.
Interpretation of the mean scores is interpreted based on Table I.

Mean score Interpretation (Level)
1.00 – 2.33 Low
2.34 – 3.66 Average
3.67 – 5.00 High

Analysis of Understanding Variable
The division consists of six questions related to the students’ understanding of the process involved in
producing innovation project. The data were analyzed using mean values. Table II shows that the overall
mean score for the first research question was 4.45. The high score is resulted from the preparation of this
project. Students will be given a theme that has been set by the coordinator of the project during the first
meeting. Coordinators will brief information related to the preparation of the project and how the project
will be implemented including scoring methods and assessment processes. Students will be given basic
theoretical design study before they are required to collectively explore and identify problems based on a
set theme. Students will be given a group consisting of three to four students and a lecturer is appointed
as supervisor.
