effective teamsand establishing performance goals, and 5) Applying systems thinking to solve complexproblems. The first two modules were integrated into freshman classes, the third into asophomore class, the fourth into third year laboratory courses, and the fifth into senior designcourses. This paper describes the learning outcomes and the reinforcement activities conductedin the courses into which they were integrated for two of these modules. The findings of themodule specific surveys and the assessment results are also presented.IntroductionHaving good technical skills is necessary but insufficient by itself for an engineering graduate todevelop as a leader and innovator.1 In today’s environment, engineering graduates must alsopossess an

.  The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development team is face-to-face conversation.  Simplicity – the art of maximizing the amount of work not done – is essential.The programmers were then introduced to their clients as part of a laboratory session where eachengineering education major provided a brief presentation on their lesson plan. Eachprogramming team had to evaluate and rank the lesson plans in a bidding-type process. Thesebids were reviewed by the instructor and teams were then assigned to specific lesson plans. Thefirst half of the next laboratory session was dedicated for the teams to interact with their assignedclient in order to discuss the specifics of the lesson plan and to

housed in the School of Engineering,coordinates a network of entrepreneurship-related programs and activities open to all studentsregardless of major or school within the institution. We start with the premise that there are twokinds of innovation: market-pull and knowledge-push. Market-pull innovations are those inwhich entrepreneurs identify a customer need first through customer discovery and then seek thetechnology required. Business schools traditionally focus on teaching entrepreneurs how torespond to market-pulls. Knowledge-pull innovations originate with an inventor or scientist; theentrepreneur then strives to connect the laboratory discovery and technical innovations with acustomer need. We believe that knowledge-push innovations often

Mini-companies of two students each were asked to treat the project as if they had been hired toperform a consulting job for a customer – their professor. The project provided context for theproduction of a series of typical engineering consulting documents: a formal introductory email,a follow-up cover letter, a meeting summary memo, a project specification document includingan estimate/quote, project planning documentation, an interim technical progress report andfinancial summary, and a final technical report were woven through the fabric of the course.Three iterations later, with minor continuous improvement modification based on

society. Why will a Practitioner find utility in this approach? Most of the engineering education practitioners use natural sciences and deductivemethods both in their research as well as in their teaching meaning that they need toobserve and present their findings in a logical and bias-free context5, 61, 14. This applies toboth the classroom as well as the laboratory. There is very little, or no space at all, forresearcher-based personal, inductive or intuitive interpretation 36, 61. Conversationalstorytelling and the SBL method become engaging only when it is storyteller-based.Meaning both the teacher and the student. It is all about interpretations and emotions13, 33.As for engineering education this means that the method is
