workshop design, we chose to restrict our data to that generated by normalworkshop activities.A brief description of what "normal workshop activities" consisted of is helpful at this point. Theworkshop we studied was the week-long "Designing for Student Engagement" summer instituteoffered by the Collaboratory (formerly the Institute for Innovation in Engineering Education, orI2E2) at Olin College, a small, all-engineering undergraduate teaching college based in Page 24.1366.3Needham, MA. The workshop is developed and facilitated by Olin faculty and has been runningunder its current design since June 2011. It was based in a large open space set up

Achievement is based on a structural framinggraphic vignette of comparable to size and character of the NCARB Practice Program StructuralLayout Vignette.

entity, in order to implement and use productively, must overcome the complexity of usingnew technology tools. This is the technological challenge to innovation, full participation andcompany-wide adoption.  In summation, according to the obtained demographics of this study, the majority of currentindustry top-managers are in the age category of under 40-years of age. This category isclassified as a “young generation” and some are even recent college graduates (who graduatedless than ten years ago). Thus, an important question should be raised in future studies about thecollege preparation of engineering leaders and top-managers. Often innovation involves risk, ofwhich psychological discomfort in adapting new tools or working environs is an
