that areunder-represented in a specific field of study or profession relative to their numbers in the generalpopulation. In this work, the fields of study used to define an under-represented minority include Science,Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). Under-represented minorities do not necessarily havesimilar characteristics such as culture (family, ethnic, social), motivations, perspectives etc. For example,a Hispanic student who grows up in the inner city, is on free or reduced lunch, and lives in a governmentsubsidized home often has little in common with a Hispanic student who is raised in a financially stablehousehold in the suburbs. Additionally, an under-represented minority with immigrant parents may beraised in a cultural

His current research interests are engineering education, software engineering, and developing innovative entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 A framework for developing innovation competenciesIntroduction:Innovation has become the universal savior. In today‘s competitive scenario, ‗making innovationwork‘ has become a strategic imperative. The ‗working of innovation‘ depends on processes,technology, and individuals. While ample work has been done on developing processes andtechnologies, little work has been done on developing individuals for ‗making innovation work‘.In 2002, an MIT Professor Clayton

: The engineering design initiative. Apart from developing the educational program in engineering design and innovation (Major IDI), the DILAB partners with forward thinking organizations to assess real life ill-defined issues. Past personal experiences involve work in industry and for consultancies such as Procorp Santiago, Cooper San Francisco and Continuum Milan. On the other hand Constanza is an entrepreneur in medical devices where she is continuously working in the detection of opportunities for innovation and development of new technologies.

thoseanticipating the creation of a new engineering program.BackgroundThe College of Engineering and Information Technology (CEIT) at Georgia Southern University(GSU), was founded in 2011, and it offers Electrical (EE), Mechanical (ME) and Civil (CE)engineering programs besides Computer Science (CS) and Information Technology (IT)programs. It should be noticed that GSU was just the second university in the state to offerengineering after Georgia Tech.Since its conception, one of the goals of the College of Engineering was to increase the numberof students in the engineering majors offered in the college (EE, CE, ME). Although the overallnumber of students in the college has been steadily increasing at a rate of 15%, this increase wasnot true for minority

theword failure in this context is likely a poor extrapolation10 and is already falling out of favor11, 12.Yet another type of legendary engineering failure is to snatch victory from defeat by repurposinga “failed” design. The classic case studies for this mode (regardless of the accuracy of the tales)are Post-it Notes13 and Teflon™14.A final, and most pervasive type of failure described in engineering, has only one commonlegend. It is that of Thomas Edison who developed, as examples, an effective lightbulb and animproved battery15. In the case of the lightbulb, Edison did not invent the technology, but ratherrefined it through many iterations, eventually arriving at a model that met his designrequirements16.

However, little research has focused on broader impactsand efficacy of national robotics initiatives. Metrics for standardizing assessment have not beenestablished. Currently, evaluation practices among K-12 STEM programs or FIRST® roboticsimpact reports have done little to align with national post-secondary educational practices. Tounderstand their long-term impact, it is essential that K-12 STEM education programs, especiallyrobotics, begin to
