It was decided that no courseor topic was off limits. The objective was to completely revise the IE program and put in place acurriculum that would meet the needs of future graduates. After several meetings and retreats, thefaculty agreed that the new IE curriculum should have the following features: 1. Change the name of the program to reflect the

innovation and promote interest in students to become entrepreneurs.Through this education, students gain the skills and perspective necessary to start their ownbusinesses. These commercialization ventures have high growth potential and programs thatfoster these companies tend to mimic technology incubators [4] in an effort to kick-start thefounding of companies.These concepts of engineering entrepreneurship not only lead to the founding of new businessventures, but also provide significant benefits to student learning in their own right [5], [6]. Thisis evident in the alignment of entrepreneurship exercises with ABET student outcomes [7], as theproduct development process provides the broader societal context often lacking from

As such calls are made,and as our technical knowledge advances, and as our pedagogical practices evolve, ourcomputing and engineering curricula must also change.

innovation and entrepreneurship are not topics limited to the fields of engineering andbusiness. When considering creativity one naturally thinks of the arts. But one certainly can’tquestion the benefit of entrepreneurial principles for a professional sculptor, musician orplaywright. Companies have also caught on to the benefits of employing anthropologists andpsychologists in their product development efforts. In fact, when considered more deeply,innovation is not specific to any single domain. And perhaps one can argue that the mostinnovative enterprises occur at the intersections of the disciplines as Steve Jobs suggested at thelaunch of the iPad18..Figure 1: Steve Jobs Highlights Technology and Liberal Arts at iPad LaunchIt is clear that our

Importantly, this work will elucidate how these practicesinfluence inclusivity within the third-year core curriculum.Making with Purpose: “Making with Purpose” is about understanding and using the skills, craft,and art of making to foster a mindset in students as well as a skillset. “Making” broadly refers tothe practice of using tools and technologies as means of prototyping or creating digital orphysical artifacts.
