business-school based technological entrepreneurship programs. The innovationprocess is significantly improved and made more robust by adopting a SE mindset early in thetimeline. If SE concepts that work so well in engineering are applied to the innovation process,the quality of the innovation and likelihood of success are improved by significant orders ofmagnitude. For example potential investors will look more favorably on a product concept thathas a lifecycle design effort put into the initial model. This leads to a more mature productdevelopment process that is less likely to run into development troubles. Therefore the investorswill see a more desirable opportunity and the entrepreneur significantly improves the probabilityof entrepreneurial

. These experiential activitiesinclude the monthly “Engineering Entrepreneur in the Spotlight” seminar series – wherepromising engineers-turned- entrepreneurs visit Florida Tech and share their experiences;the judging of the Brevard School Science Fair Projects for their commercialization value;collaborating with the city, government and private organizations in the community tocommercialize innovative student-developed technologies; etc. Students work in E-Teamson their entrepreneurial class projects and write NCIIA/SBIR grant proposals forfunding and also present at the regional/state-level Business Plan Competitions. They arealso members of the Florida Tech Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) Club and theyparticipate in local and national SIFE

, an image, or any other response a person has to a prompt. A prompt would bethe initial question and could be anything from “Tell us about your experience learning incollege”, to “Tell us about your experience with a specific piece of material within yourengineering design course”, to “Why did you enroll in program?” The prompt is directly tailoredto the scope of the research question and aims to provide information in the larger context ofwhere that phenomenon occurs [21]. There are two primary mindsets used in NA, “ParadigmaticNarrative Analysis” and “Alternate Narrative Analysis.” A principal investigator with theparadigmatic mindset treats all captured narrative as a collective pool of information and has thegoal of identifying common

As an exception, all four MSc programs in the Electronics and Electrical EngineeringDepartment at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) have the module ‘Professional andLeadership Skills’ as the core. This module has dedicated sessions addressing creativity, inaddition to having creativity embedded throughout the teaching, learning, and assessmentprocesses; it is the focus of our study here.What is still missing from this picture? Why do so many engineers still consider creativity to be aminor topic, both in general and in terms of management/leadership? Could their perceptions ofcreativity be part of the
