through INSPIRE. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Innovation and the Zone of Proximal Development in Engineering EducationAbstractRecent scholarship has emphasized incorporating innovation experiences into engineeringcurricula. These experiences are often positive, especially when students have the opportunity tosolve novel but challenging problems, navigate their own processes, critically reflect on theirexperiences, and receive appropriate levels of support and scaffolding. This study furtherexplores the role of scaffolding on innovation and non-innovative projects through the lens ofVygotsky’s theory of proximal development. Ten engineering seniors participated in
