13.558.3innovation is a very purposeful and systematic practice. It is not the linear or sequential processfollowing basic research as portrayed in 1945, by Vannevar Bush 1. Rather, creative engineeringprojects in industry frequently drive the need for directed strategic research efforts atuniversities, when necessary, or when anticipated, to gain a better understanding of the naturalphenomena involved. With this in mind, the ability to build and sustain a culture of innovation isbecoming the skill that is truly needed to sustain America’s viability, yet in many organizations,it is left to chance. Engineering education would rather place their efforts on more technicaltools instead of teaching the art of collaboration.3. Creating Cultures of InnovationIn

Therefore, it is necessary to consider other possible sources forthe rise in student involvement in the field of engineering education.In parallel with the development of engineering education and STEM education degreeprograms, the engineering education community has been exposed to an emergence of student-focused activities within ASEE. These activities range from the growth of ASEE studentchapters to the development of the ASEE Student Constituent Committee.ASEE student chapters originated in 1993 when graduate students and faculty from PurdueUniversity established the first chapter with the following objectives in mind: - to mentor graduate students interested in engineering

The perception is that jobs, such as graduateassistant, research assistant, and teaching assistant, are defined by communication andinteraction with other students and (most importantly) professors, with the ultimate resultbeing for the student job holder to learn more and become more academically mature.Academically, students prefer a flexible study environment: for example, take-homeexams instead of in-class exams.
