In the developed economies, researchers such as ClaytonChristensen have been delivering workshops that are rooted in research-based strategies.ApproachCompetencies can be seen as inclusion of skills, knowledge and attitudes including the patternsof personal competencies and the way they work together for achievement 11. We adoptedRichard Lyons‘ definition of innovation - fresh thinking that creates value for all thestakeholders12 - for developing our framework. This includes two elements – fresh thinking orcreativity and value delivery. Fresh thinking results in generating a number of quality ideas andchoosing the best idea(s) and value delivery entails, developing solutions and deploying them toensure benefit to the stakeholders.

%) reported that they intend toattend college. Of those intending to attend college, (57%) plan to major in a STEM discipline.Following the camp, students were asked about their academic interests. Student participantsreported their degree of interest in Language Arts, Social Studies, Mathematics, and Science on a6‐point Likert scale (1 = Not Interested at All, 6 = Very Interested). The student participantswere most interested in Science (M = 5.43, SD = 1.03), followed by Mathematics (M = 4.38, SD= 1.56), Social Studies (M = 4.09, SD = 1.68), and Language Arts (M = 2.86, S = 1.42).When trying to look at motivation of students to participate in STEM disciplines, the internalevaluation team developed instrumentation to measure the impact of project

The final, graduation-level portfolios are a mandatory requirement fordegree completion. Portfolios have been used by the program for approximately ten years andfor multiple ABET visits. Faculty and members of the department’s external advisory boardhave traditionally evaluated the graduation portfolios.

software engineering class (CS 222) has been selected as anatural candidate to attain a large numbers of the ABET outcomes. A large number ofuniversities utilize the capstone series for the data collection process for ABET accreditation. Ascapstone class is the last class students take before their graduation, we believe that it might belittle late if a student does not demonstrate expected competencies in certain skill(s). Hence werecommend utilization of an earlier class in the program to introduce students to ABETprofessional skills (along with periodic review of the corresponding student outcomes) and latercontinue the process to the capstone series. To identify courses which will be more suitablecandidate for this purpose, we performed a

To many mathematicians, linear algebra is the study of the algebraic properties of vector spaces and linear transformations. Some mathematicians pay little attention to the geometric
