. found that students in a non-traditional, problem-based learning environment, where they worked with real-life examples, hadmore advanced goal orientation, task value, use of learning strategies, critical thinking, self-regulation, effort, and peer learning, when compared to the control-group of students who weretaught in a traditional, textbook-oriented setting. Academics have gradually shifted from ateacher-oriented approach to a student-oriented approach, encouraging more independentlearning or self-regulated learning. How students become motivated and independent learnersrelies heavily on how the classroom and teaching is structured.14 Self-regulated learning is aform on non-traditional education that allows the student to take control of

Education, 2016 Systems Engineering and Capstone Projects Abstract Systems Engineering (SE) methods are increasingly being integrated into capstone design projects as a critical component of capstone design competitions, through mentoring during capstone project advising, and through capstone course syllabi development. In this paper, we describe an “engineering science” course developed specifically to teach selected SE topics and designed to primarily prepare third and fourth year undergraduate students for their engineering (ABET) capstone project. The course was developed using an inverted classroom format where students view short, topic

housed in the School of Engineering,coordinates a network of entrepreneurship-related programs and activities open to all studentsregardless of major or school within the institution. We start with the premise that there are twokinds of innovation: market-pull and knowledge-push. Market-pull innovations are those inwhich entrepreneurs identify a customer need first through customer discovery and then seek thetechnology required. Business schools traditionally focus on teaching entrepreneurs how torespond to market-pulls. Knowledge-pull innovations originate with an inventor or scientist; theentrepreneur then strives to connect the laboratory discovery and technical innovations with acustomer need. We believe that knowledge-push innovations often
