We regard group creativity as a socio-cultural concept, influenced by factors from a social andcultural context. Relating this point to project-organized learning in engineering education in China, this paper focuses on which factorsinfluence group creativity development in project-organized teams. Multiple methods including questionnaire and interview wereemployed. A CCQ (Creative Climate Questionnaire) survey was conducted among 126 members from 25 teams at seven universities.Interviews were carried out with eight team leaders. Research findings show that a series of factors such as task challenge, groupdiversity, conflict, group size and membership change etc. influence group creativity interactively; however, risk taking is notencouraged in these teams, which could be the potential barrier to creativity. Therefore this paper has contributions to implications forengineering education innovation.
