The topics will be introduced by the use of newlydeveloped materials for lectures and labs in standard courses, and then students will apply thislearning in design projects that will focus on human powered transportation system (HPTS).2. Background and ContextAt the undergraduate level, in the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences (CEAS) atXXXXX University there are twelve engineering and three engineering technology programs,all of which are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).The Department of

functionality (an engineeringfocus) with aesthetics, user-friendliness, relevance and empathy. It was our objective to developproject oriented courses that integrated these aspects at the university level.Our long journey towards this was inspired by ABET’s3 accreditation criteria 3(a-k) that mapwell to team-oriented semester long projects, as envisioned and implemented in the capstoneprojects of an engineering curriculum. However, not all the criteria can be met in the capstoneprojects. The capstone projects also tend to vary much in quality and focus, leading to demandson faculty and student members alike. This led us to utilize the lessons learned from a six- yearlong industry funded project on significantly increasing engineering design

task.Current assessment approaches rely on idea generation tasks, surveys, or project deliverableseach of which have limitations. In this paper, we present an alternative novel approach forassessing individual understanding of innovation process that we argue should be a learningoutcome of any innovation education program or curricula. Our method, called the InnovationProcess Mapping Protocol provides individualized assessment of knowledge and skills and takesabout 30 minutes to complete. The data collected in the form of Innovation Process Maps areevaluated in two ways: using the innovation process mapping rubric and in the form of a Markovchain. We present results from two students and discuss how this instrument can be used inresearch studies and

The requirements of the student’s major program, of course, varydepending on the particular major. For example, the CSE major consists of required and electivecourses in a range of topics from software design principles and practices to algorithms, fromcomputer systems and architectures to computer networking, from AI to computer graphics andvideo game design; and a culminating capstone project course which may, for example, consist ofdesigning and implementing a set of web services to meet the requirements of a real client.The entrepreneurship minor, offered in the business school, specialized for
