More recently, a study has reported how the most successfulinnovators practice and develop specific “discovery skills” that distinguish them from others11.The experts interviewed for this study included recognized innovators and effective innovationmanagers from a variety of disciplines and industries, including materials, biomedical products,computers, and banking. Their innovation expertise was gained and demonstrated in multipleenvironments ranging from academic laboratories to start-up companies and large corporations.Experts also included knowledgeable educators and scholars of innovation from academia. Allinterview subjects expressed interest in innovation education as well as practicing innovation,and half (five) of the interviews

Professional DevelopmentEleven (11) experienced and six (6) inexperienced GTAs were employed in Fall 2007.Experienced GTAs had been assigned a first-year engineering laboratory section and gradednearly all students’ work, including students’ work on MEAs, in at least one prior semester.Inexperienced GTAs had no prior experience with the first-year engineering course. All GTAsreceived four hours of professional development (PD) training prior to the start of the Fall 2007semester. The PD focused on several aspects: connecting engineering practice to teaching, theMEA pedagogy, audience information (first-year engineering students), and practical issues ofMEA implementation and assessment14. GTAs were trained to understand the open-ended andrealistic

One of the course requirements is the completion of theconceptualization and initial development phases of an electronic device that accomplishes astudent-defined task or solves a student-defined problem. Student projects are taken tocompletion in two subsequent self-directed laboratory courses, Project Design and Development,Phase I and II. The students who volunteered to participate in the study (n=40) ranged in agefrom 21 to 35, and most were white, non-Hispanic males from within the state, with nearly halfof them starting as freshman in the ECET program.

“collective intelligence” of a groupsolving simulated laboratory tasks is determined by the type of interactions they have. Thesefindings suggest that effective team dynamics within a learning group improve performance.Other studies link these positive interactions to friendship. Myers found that self-selected groups,which favor group selection among friend groups, reported higher relational satisfaction andlearning during group tasks [21]. Theobald reported that having a friend in a group activity in aSTEM class was predictive of group comfort levels [22].3 MethodsThis study used qualitative methods: narrative analysis was applied to transcripts ofsemi-structured interviews.

The traditional versus contemporarydimension focuses on the pedagogical practices used in non-laboratory and laboratory courses.Traditional approaches are those considered prototypical of engineering. For example, studentsdescribing traditional approaches talk about classes dominated by lectures in which students arerequired to take notes or read PowerPoint ® slides, and course assessments consist mostly ofindividual assignments and quizzes.

For example, recent work by Carter, Ferzli,and Wiebe has examined the ways in which writing in disciplinary courses in college helpsstudents develop a strong socialization into the practices and norms of the discipline, acting as ameans of enculturation [49]. Their study, in many ways, seeks to bridge the divide betweenlearning to write and writing-to-learn by identifying ways in which learning to write in aparticular discipline supports not only students’ ability to communicate in their chosen field, butalso supports their broader learning of that field.
