While there are many similarities and interesting differences among theapproaches to innovation in various fields, there is always one common element: The strongdrive to make an IMPACT. This course examines innovation from an interdisciplinary andintegrative perspective. We explore both what makes something innovative and how innovationhappens; whether the innovation is a breakthrough product like the iPod; a new water system fordeveloping countries; an engaging piece of music or inspiring work of art; an emotionaltheatrical event; or a revolutionary film.

Therefore,we are expanding the work done previously in evaluating the Sandbox as a resource forengineering students and are looking more broadly at its potential impact across allcolleges that encompass the university.

This type of learning is pedagogically favorable to the passive learning that sometimesoccurs during lecture-based content delivery. The problem with labs, however, is that studentsmust often invest much time in data collection, reduction, and analysis for the sake of learningwith no tangible outcome, artifact, or external benefit.
