Appendix B contains a generic M.S.E.T. degree with thesis, project, and course optionplans. The degree program seeks to prepare individuals with advanced technical competencies,capable of engaging in translational research applications. Programs may also offeropportunities for students to develop a basic level of business skills related to projectmanagement, business planning, technology forecasting, entrepreneurship, organizationalleadership, logistics, communication, and human resources. Adam Rasheed’s Innovation Triangle11 depicts invention, the value to the customer, andthe value to a company as the three main elements of innovation. In turn, these map to create,evaluate and implement as the actionable verbs, claiming that a successful

The vastmajority of text books, courses and educational opportunities are associated with innovation as itrelates to product development. One notable exception was a course designed by renownedconstruction industry researchers C. H. Nam and C. B. Tatum. Nam and Tatum published theirdevelopment and implementation of a construction innovation class for civil engineeringstudents at Stanford University.9 They approached the topic from two perspectives. First, thecourse involved analyzing innovation fundamentals, specifically the process of innovation,including theories, human interaction, cultural influences, and governmental policies. Second,the
