education hasalso migrated to engineering schools 2-7. This seems to be a logical development. In fact, it hasbeen reported that engineering entrepreneurship graduates have more new business start-ups thantheir business school counter-parts 8. Meanwhile, educators have voiced different opinions on what should be taught inentrepreneurship programs 9-12. The modality of delivery and the objectives of entrepreneurshipeducation is another area of lively discussion 11-18. Learning style is a much covered field ineducation 19. Matching teaching with learning style has also been addressed in the literature 20.While it is important that there is substantive content in any educational program, perhaps themore interesting question for educators in
the area of engineering education research. In his position he is managing several research and development projects on engineering education and technical training. Furthermore he of- fers workshops on professional teaching and learning for engineering faculty.

In Crismond and Adams’ (2012) Informed Design Teaching and Learning matrix, theability to conduct valid experiments was identified as a key design ability.33 From theperspective of engineering students, experimenting has been depicted as supplemental to andreinforcing of the general theory learned from lecture or a textbook.34 Therefore, the connectionbetween experimenting and innovation within engineering seems direct and pervasive.The

directs its focus at the five major innovation skills used by experts but doesnot explain which of these skills are more important and how these behaviors are linked to eachother. We are looking to fill those gaps related to these five skills. The purpose of this paper is todevelop a better understanding on innovative skills through a content analysis of experts andexamine the possibilities of further study in applying it to teaching future engineering students. “One’s ability to generate innovative ideas is not merely a function of the mind, but also a function of behaviors. This is good news for us all because it means that if we change our behaviors, we can improve our creative impact” 1.MethodsWe conducted a quantitative
