to determine if the choice of introductoryprogramming language has any measurable effect on the learning ability of a typical student inthe introductory programming course taught at a typical engineering school. Initial analysisindicates that students learning Pascal or C++ (without the use of objects) for the first timeperformed marginally better than students that learned ADA95 or C. However, student surveysindicate that several constructs used in ADA95 and C caused these introductory students to havemore difficulty. By adjusting the presentation of these topics, the instructor can teach effectivelyin any of the four programming languages.

This research focuses on the ideation component of innovationthrough the investigation of a suite of concept generation techniques. These techniques havebeen developed for engineering education across disciplines and at all levels of curriculum. Inthis paper, we advance our suite of techniques through the evolution of a method known as“principles of historical innovators.” Based on the deployment of the techniques, including theevolved method, at the freshman- and senior-levels, we execute a study to understand if the suiteof techniques enables students to generate a large quantity of diverse concepts and if the

. Courses and programs in these four areas also share somechallenges. They often depend on contingent faculty and compete for resources with disciplinarycurricula and research programs. Because of the competitive environment in which they operate,the faculty who design and teach in them are often under pressure to provide evidence of thevalue they add and challenged with finding a place in perpetually overcrowded undergraduatecurricula. The history of engineering education demonstrates that curricular transformation inengineering is difficult at best.
