pioneers in positioning design as a key contributor toinnovation. These and other creative companies are increasingly emphasizing the importance ofconnecting design to customers’ emotions and needs, and of constructing maps that show thepath to innovation. "Design Innovation" has been likewise identified as an important skill forstudents in science, technology, and engineering disciplines by national organizations like theNational Science Foundation and the National Academy of Engineering. Real-world problems are rarely defined along specific disciplinary lines and innovation oc-curs when those lines are crossed. Biological systems have always been a source of inspirationfor engineers, and many bio-inspired designs (sometimes referred to as

and attribute, lifelong learning, seems to indicate that it is an outcome and attributeconsidered valuable for engineers and engineering education, and essentially worth the struggle.This attitude was evident in the literature when ABET first proposed lifelong learning as part ofCriterion 3, and historically, long before9,15-17. Engineering educators argue for the relevance oflifelong learning, some considering it the most important of the professional engineering skills 18due to our rapidly changing technological and global societies16,18. The necessity for engineers toadapt quickly and creatively to this swiftly moving ‘modern knowledge’ 21st century economy17requires the skills and behaviours attributed to lifelong learning.

The topic of thepresentation was on the summer workshops and the camp opportunities available for middleschool and high school students at the authors’ AVS Lab. We met with and talked to severalmiddle school teachers during the time and they inspired us to conduct a middle school campexclusively for girls because of the need for more diversity and women in engineering.Furthermore, the UIW School of Mathematics, Science, and Engineering (SMSE) hosts anannual Summer Science

In this new paradigm, the significance ofunderstanding of non-technical human-based factors and principles of business acumen areintegrated into classic technical engineering courses. The ultimate goal of this re-engineeredpedagogy is to prepare the students to be influential team players and entrepreneurial engineerswith great communication skills.There are several studies in the literature that investigate the impact of the entrepreneurshiptraining on engineering and science students.

The objectives of the larger studywere to understand students’ pathways to and through science, technology,engineering and math (STEM) fields with a principal focus on ethnic minoritymales. Although the larger study is comprised of national data, surveys,interviews, and observations, this work-in-progress paper is based on surveyand interview data only.Sample The survey sample was comprised of 1,150 students majoring inengineering or a related subfield at a NSSE-participating institution. Sixty-four(64%) percent of the sample were women and over 57% were Black/African-American or
students formulate as they come toidentify with various social, academic, personal, and professional groups. Simply speaking,identity is not as singular as how an individual perceives themselves in isolation from otheraspects of their personality. Often individuals project different parts of their identity asdependent on the environment and context. In doing so individuals are continuously doing andundoing their identities to suit their needs in the moment.In Science and Math Science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) disciplines have turned to identitytheories as a way to identify talented individuals in efforts to fuel recruitment and retention. Tothis end, many have sought to define what it means to have a science 24; 27; 44 or
Kitchener’s model exhibited such openness.36 Engineering education scholars can begindeveloping empathy for effective collaboration among themselves, with their students, andamong their students by some combination of conflict resolution techniques, communicationtraining programs, and team-skills training.Lastly, given the growth of online education and the technological manifestations that allowinteraction by virtual media, some scholars have focused on how empathy functions betweencollaborators interacting online. For example, Nguyen and Canny72 found that empathymanifests differently in two types of video interactions. When they compared between “head-only” and “upper-body” framing, they found that the latter produced a significantly higher
were a large number of remedial English students amongthe incoming freshmen in both Fall 2012 and 2013, with an increase in both the number ofstudents and the number of remedial English students in 2013. The percent and numbers ofremedial English students vary by discipline from none in Biomedical and Materials Engineeringto 60% of the incoming Industrial Technology freshmen. There were differences in ethnicity aswell (see Table 2). The largest ethnicities among the remedial English engineering freshmenwere African-American, Asian, and Latino/a. At SJSU, African-American and Latino/a studentshave lower retention and graduation rates.Table 1. Incoming Fall 2012 Freshmen remedial in English by Major Fall
