Innovationcreation was seen by some interviewees as a process that can be taught, knowledge that can beacquired or skills that can be strengthened. Innovativeness was seen by some as a hill that aperson can climb as they master the process, gain the knowledge and practice the skills of aninnovative person. This belief is echoed in the innovation literature.18George makes the case that innovative behavior can be taught because he believes it is a processthat can be replicated: “I think of innovation as being a process that can be easily replicated, that can be taught

While the Department of Computer Science already had a MastersDegree, this strategic plan caused the School of ECS to seek masters degrees in Mechanical andalso in Electrical and Computer Engineering in 2004 and, more recently, to pursue PhD degrees.The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering was granted a PhD this past academicyear (2011) and the Departments of Computer Science and Mechanical Engineering will beplacing PhD proposals with the administration in 2012.

Studentsin Statics need to acquire a strong foundation of long-lasting knowledge and deep understandingof concepts, while mastering adequate techniques and procedures that are essential to analyzeand solve engineering problems. However, many engineering programs are facing seriousdifficulties in promoting student academic success in Statics.

One ofthe most cited examples of a metrology and calibration system that was in use during ancienttimes was the one used in the building of the great pyramids in ancient Egypt. It is believed thatabout 3,000 years B.C., the Egyptian unit of length was established. The Royal Egyptian Cubitwas decreed to be equal to the length of the forearm from the bottom of the elbow to the tip ofthe middle finger plus the width of the palm of the hand of the ruling Pharaoh at that time. Thislength was carved onto a solid piece of black granite to endure for all time and was known as theRoyal Cubit Master. Workers

These scientist-engineers are enthusiastic and most capable. However, they need to be mentored and given appropriate incentives and time for training, so they can mentor students in the Engineering Discovery courses. Practicing engineers will be a terrific asset to the mentoring process. • Master teacher and faculty mentor appointments, honored positions in
