definition by Tim Brown, President andCEO of IDEO, provides a relevant framework. Brown describes design thinking as: “…a discipline that uses the designer’s sensibility and methods to match people’s needs with what is technologically feasible and what a viable business strategy can convert into customer value and market opportunity.” 12The pedagogical goal of design thinking is innovation. It is achieved by finding the intersectionof what is feasible (typically the domain of engineering), with what is viable or profitable(typically the domain of business schools) with what is desirable. Design innovation is theintersection of these activities13, as shown in Figure 1

written bymanagement scholars and not from texts directed specifically to engineers. It is possible thatwhat encompasses entrepreneurship for engineers might require a broader definition andoutcomes. In engineering curriculum, entrepreneurship education often co-exists withinnovation education. As such, it can be considered as part of an innovation continuum, whichcomprises creativity, product design and development, entrepreneurship/intrapreneurship, andmanagement of the new technology or product (Duval-Couetil & Dyrenfurth, 2012).The study also only considers cognitive elements of creating business plans. It does not consideraffective outcomes of students’ participation in the activity. Affective outcomes, such as self

innovation and entrepreneurship are not topics limited to the fields of engineering andbusiness. When considering creativity one naturally thinks of the arts. But one certainly can’tquestion the benefit of entrepreneurial principles for a professional sculptor, musician orplaywright. Companies have also caught on to the benefits of employing anthropologists andpsychologists in their product development efforts. In fact, when considered more deeply,innovation is not specific to any single domain. And perhaps one can argue that the mostinnovative enterprises occur at the intersections of the disciplines as Steve Jobs suggested at thelaunch of the iPad18..Figure 1: Steve Jobs Highlights Technology and Liberal Arts at iPad LaunchIt is clear that our

Furthermore, their understandings on conflicts andinnovation competency unfold the learning trajectories as the escalating process ofconflicts, which could end up either as constructive or destructive on developinginnovation competency. Based on the findings, this study revisited the literature andproposed a tentative explanatory model to describe the relationship between conflicts andinnovation competency. At the same time, we suggest conducting further research tocritically rethink PBL and its effects on cultivating innovation competency.1.IntroductionTo promote economic growth and national competitions, current policies aim to educateinnovative engineers, who can contribute both on technology function and business
