Four concerns areexamined in the context of classroom teaching in one specific Graduate Design MethodsClass with applications to other settings: 1) The blurring of entrepreneurial levelconcepts with individual-level story phenomena, 2) The misleading characterization of asuccessful storyteller as extraverted, 3) Over-reliance on specific strategies, and 4)Implicit acceptance of current Silicon Valley models.

asopposed to products.1 Innovation of products can also be dependent on the innovations arisingfrom materials either through new functionality or improved properties and performance. Oninnovation, a report by Royal Academy of Engineering offered that the long cycles of innovationwe now experience maybe a result of the incremental innovation practices of the past century.2We endeavor to remove these constraints by educating future engineers and scientists in thetheory and practice of innovation with a particular focus on materials.BackgroundWhile generally innovation is associated with products, materials themselves either providefunctional, mechanical or aesthetic attributes to these products. Materials can be viewed as astarting point or as a pool

importance of EML skills.IntroductionRecently, there has been significant interest in the inclusion of activities based onentrepreneurially minded learning (EML) in engineering courses.1-3 The interest is due to avariety of factors, including feedback from employers that students with EML skills are morehighly sought than those with strictly technical backgrounds.1 Skills that have been identified asbeing important for an entrepreneurial mindset include effective communication, teamwork,customer awareness, learning through failure, and tolerance for ambiguity.1 Since these skillsare not typically cultivated in the traditional engineering curriculum, new EML-based activitiesthat can be implemented in existing engineering courses are highly sought.At

engineering, innovations are often viewed in terms of threecharacteristics of the solution: (1) it is different than prior solutions, (2) it is valued by a group,and (3) it is implemented13.The above definitions provide a baseline for investigations surrounding what innovation is, butoffer little insight into the inner workings of student innovation projects.

On the other hand adiscussion about the educational system started. Already in 1964 Georg Picht published “DieDeutsche Bildungskatastrophe”5 (The German Educational Catastrophe). It describes andcriticizes (1) the relative low share of state budget spent for general and academic education, (2)the low number of high school graduates and (3) the inferior chances of children from rural orworking class families to get access to higher education.

Introduction:The comfort zone is a behavioral state within which a person operates in an anxiety-neutralcondition, using a limited set of behaviors to deliver a steady level of performance, usuallywithout a sense of risk (White 2008). It is a type of mental conditioning that causes people tocreate and maneuver mental boundaries. These boundaries differ from person to person basedon varying methods of processing uncertainty.

This is because that physical spacerepresents one of the tools used to bring people from different backgrounds together. Our spacehad to be warm, inviting, and supportive. People should want to spend time there, and it shouldbe possible to spend large amounts of time there comfortably. There needed to be a place toprepare a light meal, and to relax. Our space did not have to be modern or upscale. Power andconnectivity are essential; carpet and acoustic ceiling tile are not.
