This study aimed to analyze the impact of using Automation Studio software to enhance the creative thinking skills of electrical engineering students in designing electropneumatic control systems. Creative thinking is a critical skill for electrical engineering students, particularly in the design of electropneumatic systems. Automation Studio serves as a tool that facilitates the development of these skills by providing a practical platform for circuit design and simulation. The study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group. A total of 23 fifth-semester electrical engineering students participated in this study. Data were collected through tests and performance evaluations of students' design skills. The results indicated a significant improvement in students' creative thinking skills. Learning outcomes increased by 30%, from a pre-test score of 67.5 to a post-test score of 87.5. Additionally, design skills improved by 34.9%, with scores rising from 65.5 to 88.33. These findings suggest that Automation Studio can effectively enhance students' creative abilities in designing electropneumatic control systems. This study highlights the potential of
