housed in the School of Engineering,coordinates a network of entrepreneurship-related programs and activities open to all studentsregardless of major or school within the institution. We start with the premise that there are twokinds of innovation: market-pull and knowledge-push. Market-pull innovations are those inwhich entrepreneurs identify a customer need first through customer discovery and then seek thetechnology required. Business schools traditionally focus on teaching entrepreneurs how torespond to market-pulls. Knowledge-pull innovations originate with an inventor or scientist; theentrepreneur then strives to connect the laboratory discovery and technical innovations with acustomer need. We believe that knowledge-push innovations often

Mini-companies of two students each were asked to treat the project as if they had been hired toperform a consulting job for a customer – their professor. The project provided context for theproduction of a series of typical engineering consulting documents: a formal introductory email,a follow-up cover letter, a meeting summary memo, a project specification document includingan estimate/quote, project planning documentation, an interim technical progress report andfinancial summary, and a final technical report were woven through the fabric of the course.Three iterations later, with minor continuous improvement modification based on

Therefore, the majority of the classrooms across sitesrepresented community-centered and assessment-centered instruction, meaning that studentsconnected with each other in class and engaged in active feedback with their instructor and witheach other. This baseline data highlights that EML classrooms differ from traditional lecture-based courses and are quite interactive. Future research may use the G-RATE to determine ifsimilar interactive activities are occurring in new or partially-infused EML courses or tohighlight differences in EML-based instruction by course type (e.g., laboratory or lecture).Observation data may also be analyzed over time to note how changes in pedagogy orcurriculum influence a classroom and student

One of the most important questions is how does theKern Family Foundation (KFF) and KEEN assess and measure the impact of investments madein engineering education reform?This question is most challenging because the vast majority of the skills, values and behaviorsassociated with an entrepreneurial mindset are new domain to engineering educators, and rootedin the social sciences. Terms like “acumen”, “awareness” and “values” involve human behaviorwithin environmental and cultural contexts unlike a controlled laboratory or “bench setting”.Moreover, EMEs combine their passion for science with an aptitude and capacity to develop andapply so called “soft

Iam thinking that the truly epoch-making event of the year may be man’s first successful attemptto release atomic energy, through the isolation of Uranium 235.” (Sarnoff 1941: 37) In keepingwith his reputation as a visionary, Sarnoff projects a utopian scenario: With atomic power, people may be able to light, heat, ventilate and refrigerate their homes with ease and at trifling expense. Ships, railway trains, automobiles and airplanes may be fueled for life at the time they are built. Men may carry in their pockets personal radio telephones which will enable them to communicate through the world. A myriad of new products
