NCIIA-sponsored project titled “Ideation toInnovation.” The goal is to design, develop and test an innovation-focused interactive programaimed at future national dissemination at different colleges and for multidisciplinary audiences. For engineers of the future, technical capability alone will no longer be a distinguishingfeature. Clearly, a broader-based educational experience must teach leadership, innovation, andentrepreneurship. There is a need to focus on thinking outside-the-box, taking risks, and beingcritical thinkers who are creative and imaginative.
