It is important to note that all these developments that took place since the late 1970’swould not have been possible without the close and productive relationship that exists betweenthe University of Ottawa’s business school (now the Telfer School of Management) and uOttawaEngineering.Both the undergraduate option in engineering management and entrepreneurship and thegraduate program of studies in engineering management continue to be extremely popular withstudents. About 20% of uOttawa Engineering undergraduate students typically complete theoption before their graduation and student enrolment in the 30-credit graduate program is in the150 – 200 students range
. Teachers and students also self-reported that using engineering design challenges increasedstudent understanding of academic content. In post-unit surveys, “82.8% of students agreed orstrongly agreed that using challenges was a ‘more effective way to learn’ than how they areusually taught” and 79.5% of teachers agreed or strongly agreed that “their students mastered theunit content” (Morrison et al., 2016, p. 6). Additionally, in the 2015-2016 external evaluation of the program, 96.1% of teachers agreedor strongly agreed that “student engagement increased during engineering design units, asopposed to non-engineering design units” (Morrison et al., 2016, p. 4).

Second, the approach should involvetechnologies that can be mastered quickly by most faculty members, i.e., have a gentle learningcurve. Third, the distribution cost should be negligible, usually involving posting on the Internet.Fourth, the learning materials should be easily maintained and updated; for example, repeatingthe production of an entire video to change a small part would not be practical. We know that we will not be able to achieve the production quality of a science televisionprogram, such as “Nova” on PBS in the United States. That level is not practical for thethousands

aware of unwritten rules, silent cues, body language, and implications. Students should seek to understand issues that are related to the field, even if they aren’t discussed in class. Professors expect that there will be an independent desire to learn more about the topic, above and beyond what may be taught. Students are expected to understand the research and historical context of the field, and be in the process of mastering the practice or techniques that define the lab or research group.3) Differences Students often joke that during their undergraduate years they couldbetween

This work has resulted in a popular book, TheInnovator’s DNA: Mastering the Five Skills of Disruptive Innovators, (2011) and website (2016)where managers and executives can take a version of the IBS to measure their own innovativebehavior. A version of the IBS has also been used by Fila et al. (2015) to explore the similaritiesand differences in innovation discovery behaviors between student and working engineers and byHess et al.

Some of the facultyexpressed that mastering team dynamics (including team motivation and incorporating individualstudent interests) were more important than deliverables or community partner satisfaction.The faculty group had a lot of conflicting ideas regarding the definition of multidisciplinaryteam. Some of the faculty felt multiple majors, either engineering or non-engineering, wererequired. Faculty from other institutions supported the idea that it should focus on the specificbackground and skill-sets that the team brought to the table. One attendee mentioned, “I wouldsay you don't necessarily want to limit things to just saying just the
never tied the engineer’s family life back into the story. It is possible that the student felt the engineers’ backstory was a way of layering in context and indicates an opportunity for discussions about engineers’ identity.DiscussionWe found evidence to support assertions that engineering mindsets complicate and obstructefforts to foreground SJ in engineering [3], [4], [15], [18], [34]. Some students acknowledged theadded value of having context, and some even indicated that good professors provide context.But overall, many claimed context is unnecessary and perhaps even detrimental to mastering thetechnical fundamentals of engineering. Beyond engineering mindsets such as technicalnarrowness
Determination Theory (SDT) posits that when three basic (evolved) psychological needs ofautonomy, competence, and relatedness are met above and beyond core physiological needs(food, safety, shelter), individuals become autonomously motivated and behave with willingessand choice rather than acting out of obligation or becoming demotivated altogether [25]. Unlikeother needs-based theories, empirical support for SDT in the workplace is well established [26].To meet needs for autonomy, individuals need to feel they are masters of their own destiny andthat what they do has been chosen freely rather than out of a sense of obligation, coercion, orother external factors. Those whose autonomy needs are satisfied also tend to feel that what theyare doing is
