These projects have included Robotics Platforms, Planning, Monitoring and Control algorithms, Sensor Interface, User Interfaces, Wireless communication, Signal Processing, etc. All of this involves direction and teaching teams to use the required tools and apply en- gineering skills to transform a concept into a product. She also manages interdisciplinary senior design projects in collaboration with other engineering departments such as Textiles Engineering, mechanical en- gineering, etc. Beyond senior design, she has also created and teaches undergraduate and graduate-level classes in ECE (Python in Engineering, Practical Engineering Prototyping (PrEP).

Healthcare through Industry PartnershipsAbstractThis paper highlights the establishment of an on-campus center for biomedical engineeringdesign and innovation (BioInnovation and Design Lab) that partners with industry to applydesign thinking and entrepreneurial skills to solve 21st-century problems across biomedicalfields. The students, faculty, and research staff affiliated with the Lab leverage an authenticdesign process that sources real-world engineering problems and engages multidisciplinaryteams of engineers, scientists, and business professionals in an immersive and iterativeprototyping process. To scale and sustain the impact of the Lab, a three-way value propositionwas developed that aimed to deliver value to the students, faculty, and

This work presents a summary of the interventions andassessments used, along with a narrative of the authors’ progress toward developing thisresearch. Preliminary data is presented; however, given the small sample size of data collected,the data are used to illustrate the appropriateness of the research methods at this stage of theresearch. Importantly, the authors share key insights into the specific pedagogical approaches,challenges in implementation of the interventions, and assessment strategies moving forward inthe project.3. Context of the ResearchThe authors have focused this work on two different active learning
the local community in developing technology programs that highlight student skills development in ways that engage and attract individuals towards STEAM and STEM fields by showcasing how those skills impact the current project in real-world ways that people can understand and be involved in. As part of a university that is focused on supporting the 21st century student demographic he continues to innovate and research on how we can design new methods of learning to educate both our students and communities on how STEM and STEAM make up a large part of that vision and our future.Dr. Diane Elisa Golding, University of Texas at El Paso Diane is a passionate educator and proponent for K-12 engineering education and
engineering projects fail (Ibrahim, Costello, &Wilkinson, 2013; Lawrence & Scanlan, 2007), the failures have been attributed to technical,communication, and/or contextual issues. Leading schools have begun emphasizing the othertwo categories of skills development. Texas A&M has been among the leaders with a variety ofco-curricular activities that provide intense design experience in interdisciplinary teams (AggiesInvent) and focus on building skills and experience with developing a technical and businessproject proposal (through an online summer internship).Researchers have for decades attempted to identify and describe effective educational practices(Chickering & Gamson, 1987; Kuh, 2008). In 2008, Kuh coined the term high

. These issues tackle the reduction of water usage for crops, increasedefficiency on the farm, and a reduction of over planting and chemical use on crops. The studentsare exposed to equipment and topics most have never analyzed or contemplated in the agriculturesector. After announcing the five problems, the students are immediately curious about the issuesand enthusiastic about how they are going to develop solutions. The student teams select theproblem they want to solve for their project. The teams research the subject matter and makeconnections with a farmer to gain more insight about the problem. With this connection, thestudents determine the requirements for the project design and realistic constraints about theequipment. The students
universitycreated IP were; 1) difficulty finding co-founders and people to build the company, 2) lack oftime to work on the company, 3) industry and capital connections, and 4) managing conflicts ofinterest[13]. Many a faculty resort to recruiting their graduate students and postdocs to be co-founders, but that often fails to address issues 3 and 4. Also, most universities have still notaligned their faculty-driven IP licensing and start-up generation aspirations with their tenure andpromotion policies, often creating a conflict between faculties success in their job and their IPdevelopment[10].Strategies for filing intellectual propertyWhen embarking on a new idea and business model, entrepreneurs need to leverageresourcefulness, time, and research as
