As we conclude the second year of this five-year project, we used both synthesis andempirical studies to examine engineering students’ views of innovation and abilities to innovateas well as educators’ ability to teach and assess the development of these abilities. Our researchso far has identified a critical problem. Innovativeness, though an essential attribute needed forengineers, is not one that resonates with the engineering

Research has shown strong correlations between students' self-ratedinnovation skills and abilities and factors such as creativity, product development, start-upprocesses, leadership, and financial value [8]. However, the characteristics and behaviorsassociated with innovation may vary across industries, job types, and disciplines. Dyer et al.
