engineering education, CBE provides a transition from universityto industry. Many parallels exist between CBE and industry practices, in particular thosesurrounding design-based concepts. In industry, new-product development (NPD) requiresattention to detail at the individual project, business, and systems level to create a successfulproduct launch [2], whereas university engineering design courses tend to focus on the individualproject level. Cooper’s [2] NPD success drivers often reflect the type of skills that are a focus inCBE. For individual new-product projects, overlapping concepts include voice-of-the-customer,pre-work, definition, and iterations. Building in the voice-of-the-customer may involve marketresearch for businesses, whereas

Universityadministration, faculty members, parents, and students are all concerned about this and, hence,are looking for a solution to increase these rates at WSU.Our major goal of this study was to address the problem associated with retention and successrates of freshmen students through undergraduate research experience in the nanotechnologylaboratory at WSU. Also, we expect that this will considerably improve the graduation rate(40%) of first-time, full-time freshmen students at WSU.

There are many explanations of individual excellence and entrepreneurialmindset [7,8, 9] and multiple studies about engineering students [10,11,12] with an emphasison a high need for achievement and potential for break-through innovation [13]. Since the late1990’s engineers and designers have been exploring moods and feelings and their connectionto better solutions [14]. And while research links entrepreneurial status to personality theory[15] and personality to leadership [16], few studies focus on the impact of emotion oninnovative success. This paper aims to begin filling that gap with a preliminary experiment toshow how students experience a story of innovation. The experiment is inspired by Radcliffe President Mattina

theShewhart concept of continuous learning to Japanese leaders on June 16, 1950.Toyota’s leaders first began to apply the Deming “learning cycle” as their basis for designing acontinuous learning system in the early 1950s 4. Their continuous learning philosophy is nowwell articulated as: “Find the problem, fix the problem, and keep the problem from comingback.” Their organization learning strategy is known around the world by the Japanese wordkaizen; kaizen (continuous improvement) activities are practiced at every Toyota facility as anongoing, never ending way of doing business. Kaizen, in a Toyota sense, means small step-by-step, incremental improvements as the normal part of doing work. Their concept of small,incremental steps of learning more

This practice canpose quite a difficult adjustment for freshman and sophomore college students. Cooper and Robinson14 artfully expressed the potentially dangerous consequence ofsubjecting freshman and sophomore college students to large lecture classes: A growing body of research points to the value of undergraduate learning environments that set high expectations, promote active and interactive learning, and give students personal validation and frequent feedback on their work.

similar ideas as presented here. One successful aspect of the experiment is that the 3Dmodel provides a more authentic emulation of real-world engineering practice. Students mayperuse the views and orbit the model in 3D to understand the nature of the problem. This type ofengagement, inquiry, and discovery is typically not possible in traditional paper exams.Additionally, by modeling the context in 3D, the exam designer is forced to fully develop theproblem in a way that is not typically done for an on-paper exam. For example, consider theunusual cross-section. The unconventional shape was strategically chosen to limit students’ability to use online moment of inertia solvers during the take-home exam.

volunteerism have been recognized forroughly three decades (Astin 1985), which has led an increasing number of higher educationinstitutions to establish numerous community service and service learning offices on theircampuses (Hall 2005; Ellis 1978; Enos 2002). To increase participation in volunteer activities many universities have adopted mandatoryapproaches such as including community service hours in graduation requirements. However,research has shown mandatory volunteer work impedes long-term and impactful servicelearning; instead, voluntary approaches to increase community service for college campuses aremore effective at creating an enriching service learning experience (Stukas et al. 1999).

The preliminary study implemented twopedagogical methods: a traditional Instructor-Guided method and an active-learning Think-Pair-Share method. The study resulted in no statistically significant differences between the twomethods. Therefore, for this study, we modified the traditional method, identified as ModifiedInstructor-Guided, and added two new active-learning methods, Flipped Classroom and Problem-Based Learning, in place of Think-Pair-Share.

As he suggested: All my subsequent experience showed me that the Council's choice of new professors on the basis of written appraisals, from experts, of the candidates' scientific work is the best method of filling a chair. Promoting assistants and teachers to professor on the basis of length of service and teaching experience is an incomparably worse method. So long as American schools employ that method, they cannot acquire satisfactory teaching staffs. Under that system the talented young are held back, become professors only when they are older-when the energy and enthusiasm of youth, so important in teaching
