world had guided a process of iterativevisioning and re-envisioning, ultimately leading to a high-level strategic planning document.Through this earlier process, a vision, mission, core values, goals, and key strategies wereestablished. To begin the process described in this paper, “team co-captains” were selected tolead teams that would take each strategy and move it from a “big idea” to a set of actionableactivities. An example of a strategy from the plan is “Educate Renaissance Engineers for the21st Century World.” Actionable activities under this strategy include “(a) developing andimplementing the Purdue Engineer of 2020 curriculum, (b) defining the role of engineering inpre-university education,” and so on. A total of 33 teams, which

Leadership Self-Perception Assessment. In itsoriginal form, it consisted of 30 statements (see Appendix A), but after a focus group study, itwas revised to contain 31 statements (one deleted and two added, see Appendix B). In addition,the students answer seven demographics questions. The instrument asks students to respond tothe statements on a 5-point Likert Scale in which they examine how they perceive themselves inthinking and behavior pertaining to the leadership/entrepreneurial skills that are introduced andpracticed in the leadership curriculum. For that reason, the statements are worded in first-personso that students respond in regards to their perceptions of themselves as leaders rather than theirunderstanding what leadership “is” or “is

Both projects are presented on the first day of class and studentschoose one. A new project was introduced in the spring of 2007 [7] as one of the two options:the “Create your own entrepreneurial project.” Every student proposes to their classmates anidea for a semester-long entrepreneurial project.

The proposedworkshop is based on a need for an additional type of workshop modeled in part after the I2Vand AI2V: an innovation-focused workshop. The new workshop can be offered independently,or as an add-on to (or part of) I2V or AI2V workshops. The program consists of two parts: 1. Traits of Innovative Individuals Participants will learn about: (a) Traits of innovative individuals, and (b) enhancing individuals’ innovative skills. Innovators share some common traits, many of which can be learned and enhanced. Inparticular, this part of the workshop will present traits such as observing, thinking,experimenting, teaming, dreaming, persisting

Additionally, excerpts from the writings of thought leaders on innovation, suchas Carlson, Christensen, and Porter, were included. To give us more time for extendeddiscussions, the class met twice a week, for two lecture hours each time. The syllabus for the fallof 2009 is shown in figure 1.Our institution operates on a somewhat unusual academic calendar where each semester is splitinto two seven-week terms.

In his work Tylerposes four questions which are: (a) “What educational purposes should the school seek toattain?”11; (b) “How can learning experiences be selected which are likely to be useful inattaining these objectives?”12 (c) “How can learning experiences be organized
