What is the relationship between intelligence and creativity? Which is more important to an engineer? Can one be successful as an engineering, in the sense of creating something novel and functional, without being a top student?
Every developed discovery has been entirely novel. Newton exhibiting great creativity during the synthesis of observation and mathematics during his development of calculus back in mid 17th century England. Especially during the bubonic plague.
Ask all engineers and you'll find a mix of answers.
Depends on what success means to you bloke.

Creativity is the rafined form of imagination that is necessary for some fields, other than that it's absolute useless as imagination is.
Intelligence does not have a direct relationship with your creativity, with your imagination.
You can live all your life in the cold reality as it is without imagining anything and still discover something that will change out the course of reality.
Imagination is really a disease of human brain.

If you are intelligent then it means you learn fast, if you learn fast then it means you reach the conclusions necessary to make you do a certain thing (what you learned) fast, which means you create lots of ideas, since conclusions are ideas. So, intelligence implies creativity, this is plain stupid.

Imagining is the process of reaching conclusions while ignoring the untruthness of such.
For example, if I imagine a dragon in my living room, I am reaching the conclusion there is a dragon while ignoring all the evidence there isn't one. Imagination is a conciously biased conclusion.
Do you guys even introspection?
