The role of the engineer in the cross functional teams that do new productand process development is greatly facilitated when that engineer understands the overallpicture from idea conception to an adequate number of satisfied customers.There are also other practical incentives for the engineer’s bag of tools to includeentrepreneurial skills. Employment in Fortune 500 companies has been going down fordecades, and engineers are increasingly finding themselves in small and medium sizedenterprises. Most new jobs have been occurring in small and medium sized companies,especially those that are young and

According to Tim Brown,CEO and president of IDEO, in order for engineering graduates to make an impact in the globalworkforce, they must develop “design thinking”. Brown5 defines “design thinking” as: a methodology that imbues the full spectrum of innovation activities with a human- centered design ethos. By this I mean that innovation is powered by a thorough understanding, through direct observation, of what people want and need in their lives and what they like or dislike about the way particular products are made, packaged, marketed, sold, and supported.

This is at best only a partial solution to theproblem.

As with design, action research is a nonlinear,systematic process that requires reflection [20]. Involving students as participants and byengaging in transparent communication with them regarding the process and goals willserve to enhance student learning. By undertaking this work through action researchinvestigators and participants engage in opportunities for discernment and discoverythrough a shared set of experiences and goals [19]. Since action research is undertaken inan atheoretical framework, making sense of results may require subsequent work andquestion-specific theoretical frames. This process, when appropriately approached
