individual. This does not allow educators to see howtheir instruction changes a student’s ability to innovate. In order to meet the needs of theInnovation Bootcamp and other innovation educators, a test that measures an individual’s abilityto do activities across a greater part of the innovation process is needed.Purpose Statement The purpose of this project was to develop an innovation test instrument and perform aninitial validation. The test needed to cover a broader range of innovation skills defined by theInnovation Bootcamp curriculum and needed to evaluate individual students’ abilities atperforming each of the tasks outlined therein. This paper describes the development of the test,including analysis of the content domain

to assess the direct impact of entrepreneurship onengineering education. Not only the primary data would be speculative at best, but it useseconomic measures as indicators for academic success. The two do not have to beinterconnected. Rather, the assessment criteria should be more geared towards the impact ofentrepreneurship on the engineering skills of the students, such as their design thinking,teamwork, project management and economics. Although some engineering attributes are simpleto assess, such as communication and teamwork, there are very few verified tools that can assesscomplex attributes, such as investigation and design thinking. Nevertheless, having the impact onengineering attributes as a criterion will prove to be a more

Such linkages may be particularly effectivein helping develop students’ contextual awareness.” As engineering entrepreneurship education takes shape and continues to leverage co-curricular experiences for learning, Lattuca et al.’s findings suggest that a more in depth analysisof entrepreneurial co-curricular experiences in the context of the Terenzini and Reason’s collegeimpact framework is warranted.

Page 11.807.2Utility The utility requirement is likely the most important and, from an engineering perspective,the easiest to define. The engineers working on a project typically know from their designspecifications whether they have been successful in creating the proper design. Almost bydefinition an invention must be useful and thereby have utility. Unfortunately, the legal standard is not as forthcoming. The

New practices in teaching suchas inquiry- and project-based learning, experiential learning, and service learning10 as a way forlearning non-technical skills are now common.New changes in curricula and/or extra requirements from students can put pressure on thealready-packed engineering curriculum. The reform effort of the department of civil andenvironmental engineering at University of Vermont, described above, developed a series ofthree system courses to implement the reform.

From the literature focusingon frameworks and theories of learning, one can identify several general practices thatpromote learning for college students: • Social learning experiences, such as peer teaching and group projects, particularly those that promote group construction of knowledge, allow a student to observe other students' models of successful learning, and encourage him or her to emulate them (social constructivism, self-efficacy, learning styles); • • Varying instructional models that deviate from the lecture format, such as visual

The authors administer this measure atthe freshmen and senior level.Beyond the measures for the student, the authors created measures for faculty and staff memberattitudes in the professional development workshops that are based upon Timmons and Spinelliwork [13].

It puts the students in the manager’s shoes,which increases their involvement in the case1.It is common practice to understand the need of the customers before starting a project. Theliterature on writing a teaching case recommends thinking about or understanding the needs ofthe customer – the student – in terms of what theories will be conveyed or taught through thecase, how it will fit into the course, and how the instructor will use it for teaching purposes. Anextensive amount of effort is spent on identifying a case that will meet the requirements of theinstructor. Once the case is identified, the instructor needs to see if the case is sufficientlyinteresting and rich in terms of the contextual
