It is unique in the sensethat the working settings are different from an ordinary research and development project. Wehave been working with a private investor and entrepreneur who came up with the original idea.He has been very involved in the project with business, humanitarian, environmental andeducational goals in mind. In addition to

The working group is also a catalyst for the faculty for thinking of new Page 25.812.11ideas to try and keeping creativity at the forefront of their minds when developing their coursematerial. One mechanical engineering faculty was planning to use the creative process in hisjunior level design class.The workshop was intended to spark ideas on how to integrate the creative process inengineering courses, particularly in non-design courses.

timewhen greater resources need to be available for engineering education, most state fundedengineering schools operate in an increasingly constrained environment.Industrial Engineering embarked on a long term transformative curriculum seven yearsago with three fundamental goals in mind. Specifically, within system and logisticalconstraints, the curricular components should address a number of alternative learningstyles. Secondly, the curriculum should engage the students at a deeper level in termsopen ended questions and creative problem solving. And, third, to the extent possible,the curriculum should provide opportunities for students to incorporate the value addedskills within the confines of the existing curriculum.To accomplish these goals

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

Inboth cases, the faculty members want students to have a single course they can take that willprovide the basics of business. Yet, as we found, such a course is rare. What no one hasdisputed is the richness of knowledge, approaches, and ideas when engineering, science, andbusiness students are combined in the classroom. With that in mind, we created a new course,Business Basics for Engineers and Scientists, that serves to provide those basic skills engineeringand science professors want for their graduate students, and prepares those who wish to takefurther business or
