He also co-founded with students EASENET, a start- up renewable energy company to commercialize waste-to-energy biomass processors. Dr. Traum began his academic career as a founding faculty member in the Mechanical & Energy Engineer- ing Department at the University of North Texas - Denton where he established a successful, externally- funded researcher incubator that trained undergraduates to perform experimental research and encouraged matriculation to graduate school. Traum received a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he held a research assistantship at MIT’s Institute for Soldier

Design thinking is fundamental to all stagesof this course. It emphasizes creative thinking and stimulates the students to generate diversesolutions to problems. Students are required to work in teams developing new product ideas.Each team carries their idea through to a working prototype, and manufacturing and businessplans. They also submit a proposal for funding and a draft patent application. In its current form,the class project is usually the basis for the senior

regarding “team performance” or “team dynamics,” typically assessedthrough measures of team communication, leadership, and project management. The pervasiveassumption underlying much of this research is that effective team functioning results ineffective innovation outcomes. Yet, the relationship between team dynamics and innovationoutcomes has not been well studied. Most of the existing research does not assess theeffectiveness of the final product of teamwork, nor does most existing research examineinnovation outcomes in relation to team functioning. In this paper, we examine the relationshipbetween team dynamics and innovation outcomes. Using an entrepreneurial simulation in anupper division thermodynamics course, this mixed-methods study

The first two lessons help the students to broaden their ideas about who theirstakeholders could be and to think beyond the technical aspects of the project to address thepotential value of the project. At the end of term, they produce an elevator pitch video andconduct a technical design review (TDR). The final lesson about responding to a failed pitch canhelp students move forward using the critiques from their TDR and video pitch.The contributions of this paper include (1) illustration of active learning exercises developed forteam-based, in-class activities to support the online content, and (2) development
