Organized Innovation Model for Education In this section, we describe the Organized Innovation Model for Education, whichcontains three strategic pillars, Channeled Curiosity, Boundary Breaking Collaboration, andOrchestrated Commercialization (see Figure 2 for an illustrative summary). These are guidingtenets that can be adopted by any university or academic unit that wishes to better preparescience or engineering graduates to be leaders in the workforce. Within each strategic pillar, weprovide specific prescriptions for implementation in engineering programs. The end goal of ourwork is to help academic leaders design educational systems that produce capable engineers whoare also prepared to lead organizations and people
departmental learningoutcomes, and potentially developing mandatory leadership courses. Some of theseapproaches may be challenging for programs that are staffed by experienced industryleaders (professors of the practice) or leadership experts. Those people may have anuphill battle in building credibility and trust with tenured engineering professors. In thisregard, engineering leadership innovators and researchers need to continue to be aware ofadvances in engineering design education, and seek to collaborate more actively withpractitioners in that field.As an exploratory study, the framework we have developed appears to have some widerapplicability to other engineering leadership programs. On the other hand, the findings interms of how programs are

DiversityGroup Conference Travel: In 2012, a professor in electrical engineering started an initiative thatwould allow ten undergraduate female electrical, computer and software engineering students totravel to the Grace Hopper Conference for Women in Computing, along with a supervisingprofessor and two graduate students. This internationally renowned conference unites acommunity of women in computing, including those in industry, research and education, andoffers opportunities for networking, learning, and collaboration. With varied conferencelocations and tight student budgets, it was necessary to seek funding to support this trip. TheSSAF committee funded this inaugural trip in 2012, and again in 2013, 2014, and 2015. Becauseof the success and

project with the S-triangle methodology has been applied to two different educational models – an“in-person” class with students selected by application and interview and an on-line class ofprofessionals seeking an M.S. degree in Engineering Management. Because the pedagogicalapproach is the same, differentiation between the applications is not discussed.ImplementationAfter the students are placed into a small cadre of 3-5 students using the CATME team creationtool [14], they develop lists of leadership characteristics and leadership roles previouslydiscussed in the S-triangle methodology. They also collaboratively discuss their personalityinventories and describe how they would work with the

Based onresearch conducted by researchers at the Institute for Leadership Education in Engineering(ILEAD) at University of Toronto, this paper presents a grounded theory study that makes a casefor grounding leadership theory in engineers’ professional identities, that is, professionallyrecognized forms of engineering influence. To this end, the study identifies the followingcharacteristics of engineering leadership: (1) Technical mastery (related to technical skills) (2) Collaborative optimization (related to interpersonal skills) (3) Organizational innovation (related to conceptual skills) The study, grounded in the experiences and perspectives of

Operating in teams willallow students to collaborate and share knowledge and skills, similar to that of a broker.Implementing Making opportunities may allow for students to hold a similar commitment andengagement that Makers hold, inclining towards producer roles. By operating in project-basedscenarios and with Making concepts students can develop the skills of setting goals andprioritizing actions, like a director. In traditional engineering education students do not havemany opportunities to apply their knowledge in solving new problems28. By applying Makingconcepts students will be provided with an opportunity to innovate.ConclusionsGiven the observed data it can be determined that Makers

the greatest challenges facing society today require technical solutions that can only becreated through collaboration within interdisciplinary teams.1 For these collaborations toeffectively harness the capabilities of groups that may not normally work together, effectivetechnical leadership must be deployed. Thus, the need for engineering leadership (EL).As evident by the development and growth of the Engineering Leadership Development Division(LEAD) within the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE), recognition of the needto develop engineers with greater leadership skills is gaining momentum. However, observationsduring LEAD’s sessions at ASEE’s 2015 Annual Conference & Exposition seemed to indicatethat faculty engaged in

engineers, on average, are more likely to prioritize collaborative projects over autonomous technical problem solving exercises, faculties of engineering interested in improving their retention of women and collaboratively oriented men might achieve this goal, in part, by increasing their provision of high quality teamwork opportunities. This educational innovation is likely to be wide reaching as novice engineers of both sexes in our sample tended to accord high value to teamwork. 3) Since the majority of survey participants did not recognize the importance of organizational skills until they had accrued some workplace experience, it is important for us as engineering educators to infuse relevant organizational

Organizational Innovation – Apply entrepreneurial thought to bring technically sound, scientifically based solutions to market.The Toronto model addresses two substantial problems found in the engineering leadershipliterature (Rottmann et al., 2015). First, by promoting an empirically grounded model, theseorientations provide a framework for educators to move away from the piecemeal manner ofeducating engineers in leadership (Graham, 2009). Second, this framework begins to model howengineers lead, not how to lead engineers. However, this work only
