However, field trip programs are often disconnectedfrom students’ classroom learning, and many K-12 teachers lack the engineering educationbackground to make that connection.

All IDEAS courses are handson and result in practical prototypes. The first five courses culminate in a yearlong transdisciplinary senior design sequence to be implemented in the 201516 academic year. These electives serve as prototypes for more persistent courses, either as longrunning electives or a coherent program within the College of Engineering. The second curricular change was a reorganization of degrees granted by the School of Management to include a Markets, Innovation and Design (MIDE) major. MIDE includes a series of courses
activities thatrealistically reflect practices in the field? Successful plans are easily differentiated from deficientplans when input from subject matter experts is considered. Therefore, determining the scope ofthe project, creating a work breakdown structure, and identifying the critical path particularlywith input from subject matter experts is crucial to facilitating learning-by-doing for real orpseudo projects in the planning stages. In this paper we present an innovative project-based learning approach for teachingproject management. By incorporating the design thinking strategy in the curriculum, studentteams identify and define problems (or needs) by empathizing with the users, proposing designalternatives, and creating quick-and

In her book, Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias in a World Designedfor Men, Criado-Perez reviews many examples of how innovation and services designed for mennegatively impacts other genders [13]. A male-default mindset has real world consequences onhow others are able to navigate the world. For instance, women in the driver seat are 17% morelikely to be killed and 73% more likely to be severely injured in a car crash due to the lack ofinformation around how women’s bodies respond in a crash, based on improperly sized crashtest dummies [14]. In our classrooms, students identified other examples of how the traditionalengineer, a cis, white-male default, reduced the experience of users in imaging

Teaching Students to be Technology Innovators: Examining Approaches and Identifying CompetenciesAbstractTo prepare students for a more competitive global economy, universities are increasinglypromoting programs and courses that focus on innovation. Given their early stages ofdevelopment, limited information about best practices, target competencies or desired outcomesis readily available.

The purpose is to understand theirstructure, content, and value they propose to students by examining program descriptions andrequired courses.

efficient the design.In recent years, there is a constantly growing need for manufacturing engineers possessing bothdesign and manufacturing knowledge [1,2,3]. Shortages of design expertise and manufacturingexperience often result in an unacceptable level of assemblability and manufacturability ofproduct design [6,7]. Unfortunately, best manufacturing practices and design expertise are hardto disseminate to designers. In order to effectively disseminate and reuse this valuableknowledge, design and manufacturing departments need quantitative feedback mechanisms toimprove communication between these two departments. Design for assembly (DFA) provides aquantitative method for evaluating the cost and assemblability of the design during the designstage

The model used a five phase approach which included planning andassessment, identification of emerging topics, curriculum redesign, recruitment strategies, and ameasurement and continuous improvement plan.

Forexample, most people are motivated to develop products that will have an impact on herself,himself, or someone they love. For example, a team of women designing cars think about wherethe in-car light is located, and for childcare and safety reasons, situate it near the floor instead ofits common location in the dome of the car4. This suggests that similar people with similarexperiences will conceive a subset of product ideas relating to their subset of experiences.

Preparing Our Graduates to be More Effective Leaders In a World of Systems-Oriented RiskAbstractToday’s systems are becoming increasingly more complex and more interdependent - thereforethe need for engineers who can effectively innovate, design and manage such systems isbecoming more critical. In order to develop the skill set necessary to succeed in a leadershipposition in a competitive and risky workplace, an engineer must be able to deal with systemssituations. Systems engineering and systems thinking provide a framework for anticipating orenvisioning possible future changes (both within the system boundaries and within theinteractive system’s environment) and for effectively responding to internal and external risksand
