Thecourse is centered on a recently developed commercial technology where the students are taskedwith analyzing that technology and associated intellectual property. They are then tasked withproposing ventures in other markets using that technology and to do so in business terms.Assessment results indicate an increased level of self-confidence and self-efficacy in relation todeveloping and presenting product ideas.

business environment whereconsumers have changing needs, engineers need to be able to think creatively to meet thoseneeds. Thus, it is both the goal and the challenge for engineering students and educators alike tobuild creativity into the front end of teaching endeavors, research endeavors, and professionalendeavors. Few engineering endeavors are done without the idea of a cost-benefit analysis, whichbusinesses utilize to determine if they will make profits enough to start, innovate, and sustainproduction. Engineers of the 21st century thus need to realize that they need to think beyond justthe technology involved in a product or service. They need to be able to provide this product orservice at a price/value that would be acceptable to a

As an example, Ivan (an industrial engineer) described how electricalengineering students assisted him in achieving a new understanding of the project technology,which aided innovation. Everything in this project was something that none of us had done before, regardless of major or experience. Another thing that was innovative was all of us got to work with each other at some level.

These new institutions of higher education were meant to directlycontribute to the economic development of the local industry by offering technology transfer andby supplying academic graduates with strong practical aptitude and skills. Especially the closeaffiliation between the UAS and the local economic environment increased the innovativeness ofcompanies in the mechanical and electrical engineering sector. Furthermore, it highlighted theimportance of innovations for the students. To build a close relation between the UAS and theeconomy the diploma degree programs included a mandatory 18 weeks internship (reduced to 12weeks in nowadays bachelor programs) which often generate the topic of the final thesis.
