data, whichespecially allowed the recognition of both explicit and implicit nuances, resulting in moremeaningful findings.Preliminary analysis led to a focused coding process as patterns started to emerge. Both themore data oriented initial coding as well as the conceptualizing focused coding happened inparallel for much of the overall coding process. Focused coding was the first conceptual stepin the data analysis where significant or frequent first order codes are used to group andexplain larger sets of data. All of the codes remaining after the initial and focused coding,were then further thematically analyzed in a format inspired by Gioia et al.’s data structure[38]. The resulting data structure is presented below, in Figure 1.3 Creating
12.2 Student CreativityA survey was designed and implemented before and after the course to measure the impact ofcourse participation on students’ self-perception of their creative tendencies. We utilized twoexisting surveys: the Reisman Diagnostic Creativity Assessment (RDCA) [10] and theInnovative Behavior Scales (IBS) [11]. We chose two instruments, as while the RDCA coveredmost of the course objectives, an inspection of Reisman et al. [10] indicated that the surveyconstructs had questionable reliability in prior use. Therefore, our team refined this instrumentand its constructs prior to data collection. In contrast, our team had utilized Dyer et al.’s (2008)instrument in the past, with results that had excellent reliability. Notably, the

’s, Dan quickly discovered the necessity of creating competitive product advantages to sustain a business model. These early marketplace experiences and highly competitive interactions inspired Dan to identify and create several new technologies for his employers leading to the application for his first three patents for these products before the age of 30. After 12 years of progressive responsibilities in managing several businesses as an employee, Dan launched his own Product Design consultancy: Consul-Tech Concepts. Dan describes his design methodology as Differentiation by Design R , a product design process that discovers the unseen activity based user needs and product requirements, seeking to reveal
experience,perception, cognition, and behavior.1 For this model to be successful the learner must: activelybe involved in that experience (concrete experience), reflect on that experience (reflectiveobservation), conceptualize the experience (abstract conceptualization), and apply what waslearned to new experiences (active experimentation).1Experiential learning is a component of education that “emphasize[s] the central role thatexperience play in the learning process.”1 As explained by Hey, Van Pelt, Agogino, andBeckman, some areas, such as practical and teamwork skills that are important in engineeringdesign education, are best taught through experience instead of through formal lectures.5In that regard, experiential learning has many benefits

The team decided on the three titles collectivelythrough brain storming and then individually or in pairs compiled the content. The studentdesign team deliberately chose not to include a name(s), age(s), gender(s), or a head-shotpicture(s) for each abbreviated persona. The individuals/pairs presented the abbreviatedpersonas to the student design team who decided on the final form of each of the threeabbreviated personas. All three abbreviated personas were printed on A1 posters (~24”x33”) andaffixed to the wall.

The advisor gave feedback to the team on areas to improve. The designcoordinator reviewed all proposals for consistency and major flaws. No rubric was available forassessment.

Verbal Protocol Analysis was performed on data collected from these four studentteams. A modified version of Atman (2001)’s design steps and categories were used for codingteam protocols (See Table 2). We used a modified version to capture some of the details weobserved when analyzing design teams (e.g. modeling alternative solutions and modelingselected solutions). Senior product design students had 30 minutes to solve their problems in aquiet conference room.

Cp ? (1) 1 τAU ♣3 2To assess the rotors, the performance curves (i.e., Cp versus rotational speeds of completedturbines) were measured at distinct load points for two different wind speeds (5 m/s and 3 m/s).The score that a design received was calculated as the average of the maximum Cp valuesdetermined from the two performance curves.A numerical grade was assigned to the technical performance based on the turbine’s averagemaximum Cp value. Initially, the following algorithm was proposed: An unoptimized wind

conceptualprimitive works. Then a final project was created in the course (2010~2013); students wererequired to finish a group project adopting the primitives lectured in the classes. Studentstaking the EOS course could thus be well trained and solve problems as expected. However,we got some feedbacks from graduated students, who asked to introduce more skills ofinnovation and imagination in such a course. Their values can be demonstrated not only fromtheir competencies of hands-on skills but also from designing a new product. Hence, in the fourth phase (2014~2016), CIM was adopted and SCAMPER wasintroduced in the EOS courses. Students were encouraged to put more innovation skills intotheir final project.
