One of the outcomes of these efforts is anew course on Technical Innovation and Entrepreneurship, a cross listed course by Physics,Computer Science, and engineering. In this course students are introduced to innovation andentrepreneurial mindset through “User Innovation” concept, which is the focus of this report.Physics, computer science, and engineering students, as well as those majoring incommunication, business, chemistry, biology, and psychology often take this as an electivecourse.The “User Innovation” module introduces Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E) concepts incontext of students’ passion and their

Even when the laboratory is part of an individual course, it is still generallyseparate from the classroom portion of the class. This separation is usually necessary due to thedifference in resources and time required for the various laboratory vs. classroom courseactivities. In addition, this separation has often resulted in excellent classes and laboratories.However an opportunity is being missed. As many of us seek to teach

Therefore, it is now impossible to simply write a reportonce every six years to show to ABET evaluators and expect this effort to result in anaccredited program. Instead, all faculty must now start by being aware of theirinstitution’s guiding principles (its mission, goals, and objectives) as well as those of theindividual programs and divisions of which they are part within the institution.

Rather, the student is freeto move on and spend time working on topics that they have not yet mastered.

We have surveyed engineering faculty at a variety of institutions todetermine to what degree they incorporate communication into their technical classes. Theproject included the development of an electronic survey instrument that collected responsesfrom engineering faculty at programs and departments in the United States. In addition to thesurvey results, we conducted focus groups with small groups of faculty, both at our institutionand at the site of the 2008 Frontiers in Education Conference, in order to dig deeper into the datacollected. The conclusions we draw from analysis of the survey and focus group results indicatethat engineering faculty have incorporated
