University of Toronto, ILEADAbstractEntrepreneurial activities have been driving forces of economies worldwide, bringing innovationand change to societies and pulling countries out of recessions. Increasingly, technology-driveninnovation and entrepreneurship have become the key competitive advantages for a region ornation. There has been a push for universities to produce more entrepreneurs that can handle thechallenges of today’s world, and many engineering programs have begun to incorporateentrepreneurial education. Additionally, there has been an increased emphasis on systemsthinking as an important capability for engineers as they seek to address complex challenges.This paper describes a scan of program offerings at Canadian post-secondary

before because of this class. I have learned the do’s and don’ts of designing, and I really enjoyed the process as well.” “The component of this course that I enjoyed and valued the most was when we began working on our “Mars in the Making” project. I enjoyed and valued this project the most because it allowed us to gather all the skills and knowledge we picked up throughout the class and incorporate them into our very own machine, providing us with a taste of how engineering work would work in the real world.” “The Mars in the Making project was awesome as well. As an Aerospace Engineer who is really interested in space exploration, doing a sample project and making technology that down the

ininnovation-related tasks, was measured using a validated Innovation Efficacy scale. The studyfurther explores the effect of graduate students acting as learning coaches and project mentors.This work examines whether the learning coaches’ guidance and support contribute to increasinginnovation self-efficacy. The IES scale was modified to include role-specific items for studentsto rate how the coach and mentor contributed to their innovation self-efficacy.Innovation-Based Learning (IBL) is an educational approach designed to foster origination,particularly in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines such asbiomedical engineering. Unlike traditional project-based learning, IBL focuses on solving openproblems, identifying new
