Current understanding of innovation involves notonly outcomes and individual characteristics, but the environments that support innovativeoutcomes10–12, and more prominently, the processes that innovators13,14 and innovative teamsorganizations15 utilize. In this study, we investigate the breadth of student understanding ofinnovation processes. More specifically, we ask: 1. To what extent do engineering students acknowledge unique phases of innovation as part of their personal innovation processes? 2. To what extent do engineering students acknowledge

The system enables faculty and students to request and receiveauthorization to pursue projects using specific IP. It also enables them to contribute and searchstudent project documents such as marketing studies, financial models, and design documentsthat could be utilized by other students and student teams, or by entrepreneurs under appropriatelicenses. This expansion also includes a user manual for student teams, and workshops to helpfaculty at other institutions integrate InovaED into their courses.

In addition, entrepreneurial-minded learning (EML)activities were implemented in several courses in electrical engineering and computerengineering based on the recent results in the undergraduate program. For this project,background and explanation of the frameworks are described in a capstone course for the
courses, and studies the use of context in both K-12 and undergraduate engineering design education. He received his Ph.D. in Engineering Education (2010) and M.S./B.S. in Electrical and Com- puter Engineering from Purdue University. Dr. Jordan is PI on several NSF-funded projects related to design, including an NSF Early CAREER Award entitled ”CAREER: Engineering Design Across Navajo Culture, Community, and Society” and ”Might Young Makers be the Engineers of the Future?,” and is a Co-PI on the NSF Revolutionizing Engineering Departments grant ”Additive Innovation: An Educational Ecosystem of Making and Risk Taking.” He was named one of ASEE PRISM’s ”20 Faculty Under 40” in 2014, and received a Presidential Early

lauren.n.singelmann@ndsu.edu enrique.vazquez@ndsu.eduAbstractWe present a distributed, scalable, student-driven method for both defining a set of projects andsubsequently assigning students to project teams. This process has been implemented within amixed online/in-person multi-university course comprised of both undergraduate and graduatelevel students who are predominantly, but not exclusively, pursuing engineering degrees. OurInnovation Based Learning (IBL) course seeks to provide students with maximum freedom andresponsibility for their own learning; we seek to radically rethink and reduce the organizationaltasks normally performed by the instructor. Re-assigning these tasks to the students creates newopportunities to learn soft skills such as
research techniques, we sought to address the research question,“What aspects of engineering students’ innovation experiences were critical to the developmentof their ways of experiencing innovation?”Conceptual BackgroundThis study builds upon a previous study that explored differences in the ways engineeringstudents experienced innovation13. The current study expands the previous by exploring criticalincidents that led to new or refined understandings of innovation, but it is necessarily rooted inthe theoretical underpinnings and findings of the previous study. In this section, we summarizethe previous study and discuss how it informs the current investigation.The genesis of this project was a phenomenographic analysis of innovation among
and learning of STEM courses at both K-12 and college. Specifically, examination of factors influencing student performance in STEM related courses and instructional pedagogies at the college level associated with success in STEM courses.Kathryn Ann Bartosik, Clarkson University Kathryn is senior chemical engineering major at Clarkson University with minors in business and com- munications.

However, the diffusion and adoption of these innovations wererare within participant institutions and those who did not participate.2 From there, a large seriesof studies tried to understand the main challenges associated to processes of change inengineering schools.Clark, Froyd, Merton, and Richardson (2004) focus on the perspective of those leading thechanges promoted by the Foundation Coalition.3 At an initial stage of the program, leaders’ andauthorities’ approaches to curricular innovation followed a product development process.3

As such, this“soft” technique is highly desirable for engineers to master in order to rapidly, concisely andclearly convey the engineering value of their projects to prospective investors.

The importance of understanding risk andliability, of continuous professional development including licensure, and of ethics inengineering practice, all of which are relevant concepts for an entrepreneurial approach toengineering, have been stressed.
