innovations, the College of Engineering was an earlyand enthusiastic adopter of the program, serving as both a source of expertise (e.g. fabrication,coding) and as the largest pool of participants. Through involvement and sponsorship of theuniversity-wide Cal Poly Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship, the program is broadeningand maturing. Engineering students are seeing significant benefits from working with diversemajors on designs that sometimes involve technology in only a minor supporting role. This typeof problem solving develops abstract, innovative “soft” skills that complement the technicaldepth they develop in their traditional curriculum. These skills are critical to producingengineers that can thrive in a global environment. At

above letter, the US Department of Commerce conducted a series ofinterviews with institutions across the nation in an effort to understand howuniversities are nurturing and promoting innovation/entrepreneurship and publishedthe “The Innovative and Entrepreneurial University; Higher Education, Innovation &Entrepreneurship in Focus” (2). While there is significant research on innovation andentrepreneurship within the formal curriculum (3, 4) there is less focus on extra-curricular programs. Authors believe informal programs offer a great opportunity toengage engineering students in activities promoting innovation and entrepreneurshipas it has been shown by the impact of Innovation Challenges on the development ofinnovative skills (5).

successful. However, webelieved that we could reach even higher and improve the students’ learning experience. As aresult, we performed an overall class evaluation that included input from students, College ofEngineering faculty members, and employees and cast members from the ETO13. The outcomeof the evaluation was to create a new semester-long course featuring the same fieldtrip in themiddle of the semester over fall break. The motivation for change was three-fold. First, therewas a desire to teach creativity and innovation more effectively and thoroughly. Second, pastparticipants consistently wanted to extend the duration of the class and see additional examplesof applying creativity and innovation to real-world problems. Finally, by integrating

This will be thefocus of the remainder of this paper, and will be used as an example to convey the final of step ofthe intrapreneurship study process, which is to build intrapreneurship competency throughengineering educational opportunities. Potential challenges and obstacles to achieve this areidentifying what new and differentiated educational opportunities should be provided, how bestto integrate these into the engineering education experience without adversely affecting otherparts of the curriculum, and how to assess their effectiveness in developing the competenciesneeded for intrapreneurship. The ultimate measure of how effective this approach is will be inthe

Such linkages may be particularly effectivein helping develop students’ contextual awareness.” As engineering entrepreneurship education takes shape and continues to leverage co-curricular experiences for learning, Lattuca et al.’s findings suggest that a more in depth analysisof entrepreneurial co-curricular experiences in the context of the Terenzini and Reason’s collegeimpact framework is warranted.

Storytelling Based Learning is intended to assist both the students taking a course and theinstructors teaching and creating the curriculum. Specifically, it guides and assists participantsbecause it fills the gap between disciplinary engineering learning, which is a cognitive processand embedded in logics of natural sciences. Storytelling is a socio-cognitive process. Yet it ismore so an experiential learning process where the hands-on or theoretical engineering learningis replaced by hands-on socio-cognitive experiential process of Tell/Make

But the PAC could be integrated into senior design, put earlier in the curriculum, beoffered as an interdisciplinary elective or serve as a thread that appears through a curriculum. Asthe PAC does not require a deep background in math and science, the framework could in principlebe used very early in the curriculum. The PAC can support many learning objectives that will beassociated with individual boxes, but because it is conducted on a real device, the canvas naturallycreates a way to bind together topics. In addition it will quite naturally touch upon nearly all softskills required by ABET 53,54 . There are several
