Creative thinking is a key focus in twenty-first century higher education, yet engineering students are often seen as lacking creativity due to traditional training approaches. To address this issue, this study examines the effectiveness of project-based learning (PBL) integrated with Scamper--a creative thinking tool--and Trello--a project management platform--in fostering creativity among engineering students. A quasi-experimental method was used, with an experimental group applying the integrated PBL approach and a control group following traditional methods. Creativity in final projects was assessed based on fluency, flexibility, originality and elaboration. The results indicate that the integrated approach enhances overall creativity, particularly in fluency, flexibility and originality. Additionally, student feedback from questionnaires and interviews highlights positive experiences and the effectiveness of this method. These findings suggest that integrating technology with PBL can be a promising strategy to support creative development in engineering education.
