project aims to characterize how engineering students view and approach innovation. Aspects of the research that are accomplished so far include: 1) a multi-phase protocol that includes interviews, process mapping tasks, and think-aloud protocols, 2) a content analysis to determine typical innovation and discovery behaviors used in innovation in technical areas, and 3) a meta-synthesis of assessment methods used in engineering entrepreneurship. Based on the findings from these studies, we made recommendations that inform activities associated with the educational plan including classroom activities and assessment tools.

InterfaceIntroductionFor students to succeed in engineering design (and engineering practice) they must be able tomake design decisions that are grounded in data and analysis. The potential danger, however, inintroducing analysis and calculations too early in the design process is that this may lead thedesigner to become “fixated” on the current design idea and not explore other, potentially betterideas1, 2. This can be problematic as engineering education endeavors to teach students to bemore innovative. Thus, while it is important to teach students how to support their designdecisions with analysis, it is likewise important to help them engage in analysis without leadingto limited exploration of alternative ideas. The overarching goal of this project is to

This will require educational institutions to providespecialized instruction in these areas. Yet, there have been relatively few published reports onbiomaterials and tissue engineering-related lab activities, and existing activities lack a foundationin materials science. A primary deliverable of this project is to address this need and thusstrengthen science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education by developinginteractive experiments that introduce tissue engineering through a

science and other non-engineering degree programs. Theeffectiveness of the course at inspiring this somewhat reluctant student population to getexcited about applying engineering principles and problem-solving techniques isprimarily due to a syllabus that is structured around three engineering design projects, orEDPs. These projects, which become progressively more complex throughout thesemester, require students to take taught theory out of the classroom and apply it to thedesign of mechanical systems. Observations and data collected over the course of theprevious three years, to include direct student feedback and an analysis of embeddedlearning indicators, indicates that these design projects promote effective learning indirect proportion to
