importantcontributor to their team’s success. We did not attempt to pursue or resolve this paradox in thisstudy, but it continues to present an opportunity for future research.External events – transitions in university or college leadership or new strategic plans – do seemto have had at least some impact on the teams. High-performing teams, in particular, report thatthese changes were positive developments. We did not explore the extent to which this wasdisproportionately a matter of perception for high-performing teams.AreasforcontinuingandadditionalresearchThere is much yet to learn about the dynamics of making change in engineering education.

students gain a higher-level understanding of the designand development process, while also increasing the level of student interest and making theproject more challenging.Innovation and the Mechanisms by Which It OccursFor the purposes of this course, the working definition of innovation was that it is the use ofideas, tools, materials, and processes to achieve desired outcomes. Radical innovations weretreated as ones that achieve outcomes in fundamentally new ways, or that achieve unprecedentedoutcomes. This is opposed to incremental changes, which were treated as evolutionaryimprovements to existing solutions.The instructor impressed upon students the notion that innovations can be planned for and thenachieved by following a methodical series

the university. JohnRogers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign uses it to provide his students withthe relevant experience. He explains: I always tell my students you’ve got to be in the lab. You absolutely have to be in the lab. You can plan, you can do computer design and such, but until you get your hands dirty and really get a feel for what’s going on, you’re not going to have a good sense of what’s going to work and what’s not.Several participants noted an increasing connectivity between industry and academia, the resultof which was viewed by many innovators as good for the competitiveness of the nation and onethat helps both students and industry.

At Lawrence Tech, the grant provided thefunding to integrate the existing entrepreneurial programs into a new innovative interdisciplinaryprogram focused on developing the “entrepreneurial mindset” on campus. The skills associatedwith the entrepreneurial mindset are communication, teamwork, leadership, ethics and ethicaldecision-making, opportunity recognition, persistence, creativity, innovation, tolerance forambiguity, risk analysis, creative problem solving, critical thinking, and business skills(including marketing, financial analysis, and strategic planning).1, 2LeadershipA leadership education program was initiated at Lawrence Tech in 2007 based on assessmentand program evaluation.

willing to share their time and knowledge. The quality of their“lectures” was outstanding. We held several meetings with the guests to plan out their “lectures”.These meetings led to broader discussions about innovation and formed closer interdisciplinaryrelationships. The faculty then recognized that we have more in common then we had beforerealized. These relationships have led to other collaborations with guest lectures occurring in anumber of different courses. For example, one of us has given a guest lecture on kinematics andmechanisms to the sculpture class assigned to create mechanistic art. And Joe Meiser, professorin studio art, is team teaching a class for the MIDE program. Additionally, we have faculty nowworking together on

Can a team achievehigh innovation effectiveness if it has low team dynamics?Literature reviewTeamwork is recognized as a critical engineering skill. ABET devotes a student outcome toteamwork skill: “an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provideleadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meetobjectives” [4]. Transforming Undergraduate Education in Engineering suggested that“Teamwork should be embedded everywhere – as part of authentic design experiences, ifpossible – and needs to become a meta-skill for every student.” [5, p.21].

Co-learning occurs primarily within design teams, which areassigned by the instructors in the first core integrated course, and students decide their owngroups in the second core integrated course. The program overall is designed to augment the wayin which students learn across multiple semesters and plans-of-study rather than just serving asadditional courses to add to their course load. Therefore, the program is designed to provide allstudents, regardless of their major, a multi-semester learning experience focused on the actualpursuit of innovation. By doing so

ambiguity of many of the objectives from each analyzed set was identified during theanalysis process for this study. Some of this lack of clarity resulted from the fact that many of theobjectives were deemed too difficult to objectively measure in a course, such as to “demonstrateconstant curiosity about our changing world.” The solution to this current lack of clarity is toimprove specificity and measurability in EM objectives. Measurable course outcomes ofteninvolve observable criteria, time frames, and numerical goals. For example, rather than “Studentswill develop and demonstrate proficiency in writing and verbal skills,” an effective objectivemight be "Present an original business plan at a design showcase."Many other objectives, although

By financing strategic plans of the country’s leading engineering schools, CORFOintends to transform engineering education towards national competitiveness and productivity. Inorder to educate future engineers that are more prepared to address the challenges of the industry,engineering schools need to incorporate more teamwork, hands on learning, and practicalexperience within the industry15.
