The course design was such as to allow students great freedom in terms ofproject topics and directions of research. All project topics were significant real research topicsto which students were exposed. Various challenges were used as opportunities for solvingadditional engineering problems, for developing a scientific and engineering-oriented mind, forextrapolation and integration of knowledge from different fields. Students were enthusiastic andenjoyed the course, which was different from any standard courses they had had in school. Theysuccessfully presented their work in

The student teams are judged competitively with attendees given “innovation dollars” to allocate to the teams as they see fit. The team that ends the day with the most innovation dollars is awarded first place in the competition.

directs its focus at the five major innovation skills used by experts but doesnot explain which of these skills are more important and how these behaviors are linked to eachother. We are looking to fill those gaps related to these five skills. The purpose of this paper is todevelop a better understanding on innovative skills through a content analysis of experts andexamine the possibilities of further study in applying it to teaching future engineering students. “One’s ability to generate innovative ideas is not merely a function of the mind, but also a function of behaviors. This is good news for us all because it means that if we change our behaviors, we can improve our creative impact” 1.MethodsWe conducted a quantitative

This is the origin ofthe RealTime Physics approach, and enables the learning cycle; prediction, observation,comparison, analysis, and quantitative experimentation.

Inboth cases, the faculty members want students to have a single course they can take that willprovide the basics of business. Yet, as we found, such a course is rare. What no one hasdisputed is the richness of knowledge, approaches, and ideas when engineering, science, andbusiness students are combined in the classroom. With that in mind, we created a new course,Business Basics for Engineers and Scientists, that serves to provide those basic skills engineeringand science professors want for their graduate students, and prepares those who wish to takefurther business or
