This is necessary to ensure that the participation in the program is appropriate andadvances the goals of the project partner, not just those of the EPICS students that wish to pursuea commercialization opportunity.No additional academic credit is awarded to the members of EPICS teams that participate inentrepreneurship activities. This activity is considered to be within the scope of the EPICSprogram and to have engineering content because the focus is on product development for amarket.

Interviews were thentranscribed and analyzed using definitions from Wenger’s CoP model to clarify and verify howthe Makerspace impacted the cultivation of a makers CoP on campus. We looked for evidence ofidea units that emphasized domain, community and practice.ResultsParticipants shared a common interest in “making”, tinkering, and realizing their designs. Therewere five categories of reasons for participation in the Makerspace: accessibility to resources,professional development, self-efficacy, Networking, social interaction and engagement, andlearning opportunities.Making use of Wegner’s

[24]Although the rubric has been viewed solely as an assessment tool for quite some time, recentstudies have suggested that it can also be used as a learning instrument. Arter and McTighesuggest that in collaboration with a formative assessment of student’s current un-finished work,the rubric can highlight areas that students are excelling in, as well as show opportunities wherethey can improve. [25] Jonsson and Svingby also note that a great benefit to using a rubric is thatit can be incredibly consistent in regards to the use of judgment when assessing specific studenttraits in class.

frameworks exist for characterizing individual differences; our choices are basedon the rigor of the underlying theories and the reliability and validity of the related assessmentinstruments. In this paper, we will focus on our use of Kirton’s Adaption-Innovation Theory [27]and the KAI® (Kirton Adaption-Innovation inventory), which measures individual cognitive style[26]. We are also exploring the use of ABAKAS, a validated measure of engineeringinnovativeness based on Ferguson, et al.’s model of that construct [13, 14]; that work will bepresented in future publications.

findings, Barba-S´anchez et al. [33] identified Financial Motivation as one of the leadingmotivational factors for industrial and computer engineering students. They further elaborate thatmoney is seen as a synonym for well-being, and reflects safety and a good standard of living forthe society. Having the power to act seems to be a strong factor for engineering graduates. Thegraduates value the power to make their own decisions but also to take responsibility. Previousresearch from Barba-S´anchez (2012)[12] identified ”do things my way” as one of the factors, rep-resenting the possession and execution of power. The participants talked about the reputation ofstarting a company and could appreciate additional visibility. A similar factor has been

The suitability of these models fordesign problems that are much more complex has never been investigated. This lack ofinvestigation and difficulties met in process based measurements of ideation effectiveness ledShah et al. to consider outcome based metrics for their study of engineering design [7]. As such,Shah et al. developed a framework to measure ideation effectiveness in simple and complexdesign situations.Shah et al.’s framework includes metrics that measure the effectiveness of formal ideageneration methods. The framework addresses that engineering design must be novel – unusualand
students’ weaknesses and strengths in domain knowledge [16].Instructors can assess students at earlier time points in a course, to identify potential areas ofweakness that can be addressed throughout the remainder of the instruction. In order toassess student learning, either formatively or summatively, an instructor needs to select anappropriate scoring method(s) for the concept maps. Several quantitative and qualitativescoring methods have been developed and applied to engineering students’ concept maps,with each taking a different approach to capturing a map’s complexity. Concept map scoringmethods typically include measures of conceptual depth, breadth, and connectedness [19].A concept map can be used before the start of a course to assist

We have designated sections of our innovationcourses that the students can conveniently fit into their schedules.

pollution as a member of the engineering faculty at another institution.Kristina R. and Nick S.: Dog Safety HarnessThis team developed a harness that allows dogs to be clipped into seat belt restraintswhile they are riding in automobiles. Traditional designs of “seat belts” for dogs aim toprotect the lives of drivers and passengers by restraining the dog. In a serious accident,those restraints can do serious harm to the dog. The design created by Kristina and Nickprotects the dog’s vulnerable shoulder bones. Kristina had the idea when a friend’s dogdied in an accident and she could not find a good seat belt for her own dog. The teamreceived positive feedback that demonstrated that there may be a market, but the team didnot pursue these leads very
culturally desirable shape of a fish6. Thisexample underscores that value is ultimately in the eye of the beholder(s), and includesperceptions founded within cultural norms and other individual preferences. Another exampleincludes the notion of value within behavioral economics, a field founded on contextualizedeconomic preferences.Other common concepts of value is that it is relative, perceived by the user or customer, and thatit may be situational, seasonal, or temporal7. The perceived value of a snow shovel or bottle ofwater would be vastly different considering a seasonal viewpoint of summer or wintertime.Results from the field of systems engineering provide additional insights into system modelingand value8,9,10.

In addition, the course professors commented that the workshop helped to reinforce theconcepts that their students had been learning before the workshop. These promising resultsencouraged us to adopt our other workshops (e.g., Design Thinking Workshop and Idea Sprints),which were also originally designed for in-person instruction, for remote learning.AcknowledgmentThis research is sponsored by the VentureWell Faculty Grant ( #17926-18).
