activities to motivate future research careersIntroductionThe potential that materials-based solutions hold for global challenges such as in biomaterials,energy, environment and aerospace is undisputed. Therefore, it is imperative to groomundergraduate engineering and science students with a broad-based materials science andengineering back-ground, in order to maintain technological leadership position of developedand developing countries in the 21st century. At Oklahoma State university (OSU), we haveestablished a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program that is based on thepremise that interdisciplinary research training including entrepreneurship is essential for acomplete research experience in Materials Science with most of the

Innovation is in the function creative thinking needed to accomplish a task you do not already know how to accomplish. This process is marked by quickly identifying potential solutions, building and testing them, and modifying solutions until an adequate solution is found (e.g., trial-and-error, barnyard engineering, etc.). 2 – Redesign and Innovation is redesigning something to benefit a group of stakeholders. These problems focus realize to meet on implementing a specific technical function that arises from stakeholder

He also points out that the employers of our students willexpect them not only to be “well prepared in the discipline, but also to possess ingenuity
