event requires students to demonstrate and “sell” their product in a true entrepreneurial sense. The student teams are judged competitively with attendees given “innovation dollars” to allocate to the teams as they see fit. The team that ends the day with the most innovation dollars is awarded first place in the competition. This course also serves as a launch pad for our students to enter competitions such as: Accelerate Michigan Innovation Competition, Clean Energy Business Plan Competition, Great Lakes Entrepreneur’s Quest and the NCIIA’s Open Minds Competition.

directs its focus at the five major innovation skills used by experts but doesnot explain which of these skills are more important and how these behaviors are linked to eachother. We are looking to fill those gaps related to these five skills. The purpose of this paper is todevelop a better understanding on innovative skills through a content analysis of experts andexamine the possibilities of further study in applying it to teaching future engineering students. “One’s ability to generate innovative ideas is not merely a function of the mind, but also a function of behaviors. This is good news for us all because it means that if we change our behaviors, we can improve our creative impact” 1.MethodsWe conducted a quantitative

It is hypothesized that by knowing moreabout the demographics along with current trends, it will be possible to recruit and to retainAfrican American women in the engineering professoriate. With this in mind, the main questionaddressed in this paper is, “What can we learn from data about African American female facultywithin U.S. accredited engineering programs, and how might these data provide a foundation forthe development of new initiatives promoting the experiences of African American femalefaculty in engineering?”Literature ReviewThis section will present a
