Abstract	This paper aims to understand the use of open-ended mathematical problem to stimulate students' ability in problem solving. There were five mechanical engineering participating in this study. Their works were video-taped as to reveal their process of problem solving. Intervention of creative problem solving was used as to help the students to come out with solutions. They were also interviewed individually after they had solved the problem. All the process of problem solving and their conversations were video-taped and audio-taped, transcribed and then analyzed into sub-themes, namely: problem definition, ideas generation, ideas evaluation, ideas judgment, and solution implementation. Questionnaire was also distributed to three classes of 74 mechanical engineering students as to find out their preference in all the stages of creative problem solving. The result showed that the students were able to solve the open-ended mathematical problem collaboratively based on all the stages of creative problem solving. (As Provided).
