The 114 students of this study are the third grade students in mechanical department in public and private vocational schools in Taiwan. Instruments utilized in this study were Revised Torrance Test of Creative Thinking scale and machinery Innovative design ability scale. The data obtained were analyzed with one-way MANOVA and canonical correlation analysis. The primary results are as follows : 1.The students at different levels of technological capability have no significant differences on creative thinking ability. 2.The students at different levels of technological capability have significant differences on machinery innovative design ability, students of advanced technological capability are better than students of basic technological capability. 3.There are correlations between the creative thinking ability and the machinery innovative design ability among students at different levels of technological capability, the significant correlation exists when students’ technological capability reach a particular level. Based on the results of this study, some suggestions for the content of teaching curriculum and for future research were proposed for reference.
