does not need to be the only source of innovation from research universities.Innovation can also come through students by way of purposely developed or enhanced courses,pedagogy, and experiences designed to create a spark or foster an existing spark, fan the flames,and fuel them to help them grow. It is unfortunate to create the spark in first-year students andthen ignore it until it is time for the senior design / capstone project; the innovators need tocontinue to learn, experience, and grow throughout their academic career. To be a meaningfulreal-world experience, an innovation concentration needs to incorporate learning and experienceswithin disciplines students will encounter once they have begun their professional careerincluding

It is too early todraw any concrete conclusions about how students will use the experience gained once they starttheir professional careers.

These resources and how theyevolved are illustrated using sample innovative communication assignments.

Many disciplines have at least two and some asmany as the four required courses designated C-I.Student interest was enhanced by establishing
