I have learned to inspire learners to think more critical. I am an automotive teacher and teaching procedures are a huge part of my class. If a part has to be replaced, there is a procedure. If a car needs to be diagnosed, there is a procedure. I will remind my students that there is the procedural way to work on cars but that doesn't mean they can't come up with a new and inventive way to complete the task. This may help them to move away from repairing cars to designing or engineering them, instead.
