The project to improvehealth also incorporates an implementation plan that uses an educational “marketing” ofbeneficial technologies to early adopters as a method to provide training to new users and topromote the spread of the technologies with funds from project sales.These two projects are used as examples that allow students to present descriptions of thelearning experiences that resulted from incorporating the concepts of social entrepreneurship intothese two capstone design projects, and how the project technologies themselves are shaped bythe increased

attention is frequently focusedon individual creativity and other personality traits, organizational cultures, and other non-technical capabilities. We argue here that the typical descriptions of innovation competencies arecorrect but incomplete, lacking critical dimensions that are essential for planning an educationalcurriculum and assessing progress within it.The foundation of our model of innovation competencies rests on our definition of innovation:The ability to develop novel solutions to problems that result in significantly enhancedstakeholder satisfaction. As engineering educators, we believe that innovation is only effectivewhen it includes the full cycle leading to delivery of improved stakeholder outcomes, and thisintroduces challenges

The intent was not merely to allow students to receive twograduate degrees in a compressed time frame, but to tightly integrate the two degrees sothat multidisciplinary student teams would be able to develop an industrial product all theway from concept to market. The students obtained a Master of Business Administration[MBA] degree and a Master of Science [MS] degree in an engineering discipline in 23months. The students worked in teams and were expected to have developed a concept, abusiness plan, a marketing plan and a prototype for a marketable product by completionof the program.Development of two new graduate courses: ≠ Product

The Beta Program aims to inspire and reward innovation in students by helpingthem try out their ideas without immediate concerns for commercialization. The focus ison technology development and application, and the skill and confidence building thatcomes from trying to make an idea work.

Furthermore, this reiterates the need to consider the key theories when researching EEPs,specifically student participation for our case. To identify the key theories, the documentedtheories were assessed for their level of use based on the number of times they were cited in the359 articles.
