Given the higher costsof public education, academic programs offered at state-funded institutions are increasinglybeing scrutinized in terms of whether investments are paying off in terms of job creation andeconomic development and judgments are being made about those that provide the best returns.For example, in laying out his agenda for higher education reform, the governor of Floridarecently suggested that state funding should be directed at degree programs likely to producemore jobs in fields like science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), which he suggestedwould produce more qualified employees than would programs in the humanities.4Defining InnovationThe definition of innovation is layered and

Clearly, for entrepreneurshipeducation to embrace the 21st century, professors must become more competent in the use ofacademic technology and also expand their pedagogies to include new and innovativeapproaches to the teaching of entrepreneurship.”Since 2006 KEEN (Kern Entrepreneurship Education Network) schools are preparing moreentrepreneurial engineers in the United States [19]. There are 22 KEEN schools that share thesame vision to instill entrepreneurial mindset into engineering undergraduates.

Design skills are best learned through a combination of observation, emulation,analysis, and experimentation. This demands a high degree of interaction between the studentand experienced designers. Interpersonal skills are best developed through team work. Industryhas discovered that the give-and-take process that

One of the three critical areas addressed inthe strategy includes, “Invest[ing] in the Building Blocks of American Innovation” by focusingon education, research, technology and building of infrastructure. The nation’s push towardscreating an innovative and creative workforce is likely to have significant impacts on STEMeducation at both the K-12 and university levels.In engineering education, the National Academy of Engineering (2004) envisioned the Engineerof 2020 to possess not only strong analytical skills, but also characteristics such as practicalingenuity and creativity.1 As the Academy notes, “Yesterday, today, and forever, engineeringwill be synonymous with ingenuity – skill in planning, combining, and
