growth does not arise just from addingmore labor to more capital but from new and better technological ideas. Approximately one outof every three of our engineering students earns a dual degree (BSME and MBA) in five years.More often than not these students select this path because they see the opportunity to enhanceeconomic growth through technology applications. In the Management Department of DU’sDaniels College of Business a new Entrepreneur program has been initiated to help students ofall disciplines study innovation models. Within MME we are seeking specifically to enhance theconcept-to-product realization innovation pipeline.

provided. However, in some curriculum,specifically engineering, a strong emphasis on active learning can be beneficial to students.To address this disconnect between delivery and student-learning, the flipped classroom teachingmethod has been gaining popularity. Additionally, reasonable technology is available to facilitatethis delivery method. The flipped classroom often takes lectures normally given during classtime and moves them outside of the classroom in the form of recorded videos or voice-overPowerPoint slides. The students watch the lecture on their own time and are able to pause,rewind, take notes, and re-watch the lectures as many times as is necessary to understand thematerial. These videos are usually accompanied by some kind of quiz

Without the demographic data from the initialsurvey, it is unknown if these sophomores had ever read an engineering journal article before theone used for this design project.The terribly low response rate may be attributed to several possible factors:  The initial survey was not available when the recruitment flyer was distributed. A technology mistake was made when an available time frame was set for the survey but the students were not allowed to see the research project page, which had been hidden for testing during discussions with the IRB.  It was mentioned in class that the IRB insisted that the surveys be
