Human Engineering and Social EntrepreneurshipCertificate program. Consequently, the course sequence within this cluster is well fairly welldefined. Students in this cluster actively engage with partnering communities in marginalizedareas across the world to research, design, test, and commercialize their ventures with the goal ofcreating and developing economically sustainable, socially acceptable solutions within specificlocal contexts. The Technology Based Entrepreneurship cluster is also based in the College ofEngineering. This cluster most closely resembles the previously offered EngineeringEntrepreneurship (E-SHIP) minor and contains several of the same classes. However, the newstructure allows more focused attention on developing

- Contributing elements to the Movement, and how this Movement drives other sectors.Contributing to the popularity of the Maker Movement are the accessibility of low-costmanufacturing tools like 3D printers and laser cutters, availability of cheap and simple embeddedcontrollers and powerful motors, interest in open hardware as a complement to open software,the emergence of online sharing and exchange of digital designs, and the popularity ofcrowdfunding opportunities [1]. As indicated in Fig. 1, the movement is, in turn, stimulatingSTEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education, invigorating the U.S.manufacturing sector, feeding device-based markets such as drones and the internet of things,leading to new manufacturing

purposes of measuring innovation. Numerous definitions of creativity exist, which havespawned the development of various creativity tests. Although these tests have been based onaccepted definitions of creativity – such as “a behavior that is imaginative and inventive”(Guilford, pp. 444, 1950)4 – these definitions have historically been applicable to domainsseparate from Technology and Engineering, focusing rather on the arts and psychology.Creativity as it pertains to technology and engineering is a subcomponent of innovation. Becausecreativity is only a part of innovation, we believe that creativity tests should not be used toevaluate or assess innovation.We believe that innovation is distinctly different than creativity.

definition by Tim Brown, President andCEO of IDEO, provides a relevant framework. Brown describes design thinking as: “…a discipline that uses the designer’s sensibility and methods to match people’s needs with what is technologically feasible and what a viable business strategy can convert into customer value and market opportunity.” 12The pedagogical goal of design thinking is innovation. It is achieved by finding the intersectionof what is feasible (typically the domain of engineering), with what is viable or profitable(typically the domain of business schools) with what is desirable. Design innovation is theintersection of these activities13, as shown in Figure 1
context design of supply chains and logistic processes grows inimportance. There are also other trends worth mentioning, in particular in the context of the most recentglobal industrial recession, such as: • Growing anti-globalization and protectionist sentiments • De-industrialization of the highly-developed economies • Accelerated progress of technologies. The extended world-wide effects of recession and what is referred to as a “jobless”recovery from it, bring into focus the skills that future engineers should acquire in the course oftheir studies in order to be successful over the lifespan of their professional careers. A goodmodel to pursue in the curriculum updates or development is a T-shaped profile1 of a futureengineer

process? The authors have been working in this are for threeyears and have discovered that it is important to recognize that for a project to be successful,more than one generation of students may be required. For example, engineering students candevelop the technology required for a product and then graduate. Much more effort from manymore disciplines is required to bring a product to market.Multiple Generations of studentsBuilding entrepreneurial efforts usually requires a team effort over a long period of time. If asenior is on a team that initiates a product development project, it is unlikely that the senior will Page 11.361.6still be there

It may be possible through this to redefine what is normal and as Maggie said, they are definitely already changing with the advances in laws and BME technologies and therapies. We as a team think that there is a human element to BME that must be considered when making advances.3.3 DeliverablesOur goals for students are to build connection, context, and community during underclassmancoursework that would otherwise be dispiriting at best, and contributing to attrition at worst.
