It details two specificassignments that challenge students to generate ideas for new products and research theirfeasibility: a semester-long entrepreneurial design project and a white paper. The paperdiscusses how these entrepreneurial activities lay the groundwork for more students to pursueentrepreneurial Jr/Sr Clinic projects, while also providing an excellent mechanism for achievingthe primary educational objectives of Sophomore Clinic.II.

Since Rube machines are typically dynamic artistic creations that undergo manychanges during their cycle of development due to practical realizations, this model lends itselfnicely to the Rube environment.Second, the mantra “if it doesn’t work, fix it or cut it” was used in order to guide the team andbring them back to the reality that the machine needed to work in the end. This often led tomultiple iterations of step designs and implementations, but as the contest time grew closerseveral steps were cut due to both space constraints and reliability concerns.Finally, testing played an integral role to improving reliability.

When asked “What aspects of their education helped to nurture their creative problem-solvingskill?”, in truth, they had difficulty identifying anything. In the end, it was our belief that nurturingstudents to be creative problem solvers, capable of creating new ideas and validating their creations withmodels based upon engineering fundamentals was to be the goal of our course. In addition, a larger goalwas that this approach would also be integrated into the courses preceding our capstone modeling course.This realization has prompted us to

To apply the above principles effectively,students (especially the Gen-Z students) need to have a skill set in understanding the role of engineeringinnovations in a globalized society with an attitude of leadership to serve society [16], which was themotivation behind this class.

development [17]Nonetheless, while innovation may be an indirect benefit of myriad engineering curricularefforts, instruction may be framed in such a way as to encourage [17] (or discourage [18,19])students’ development of innovative behaviors. Some scholars have emphasized innovation as adesirable outcome of instruction or learning environments [20,21], others as the demonstration ofcertain abilities [22], and yet others as appropriate conceptualizations [23]. As researchers, wemight ask how goals directed towards these distinct ends vary in terms of outcomes.
