Several different related courses, workshops, approaches and programs have been developed,implemented and assessed over the past years at FAU. Among these are: Page 13.750.3 1. “Eight-Dimensional (8D) Methodology for Innovative Problem Solving.” (Raviv 2002a) It is asystematic and unified approach that stimulates innovation by effectively using “both sides” of thebrain. It builds on comprehensive problem solving knowledge gathered from industry, business,marketing, math, science, engineering, technology
in entrepreneurship.V. DiscussionIn coming decades, entrepreneurial engineers will be in even greater demand. Engineeringeducators and administrators will need to keep pace by offering opportunities to acquireentrepreneurial knowledge and experience. We believe that through the use of this simple tool,engineering educators can better assess engineering students’ knowledge and skills related totechnology entrepreneurship as they progress through their programs of study. Given thefindings of this pilot study, we discuss potential ways this tool and the research can be used tohelp improve entrepreneurship education for engineers.According to this pilot study and statistical analysis, differences exist between freshmen andsenior engineering
Education, 2010 A qualitative examination of faculty beliefs related to entrepreneurship educationAbstractAs part of a larger NSF-funded research study, this paper begins to examine faculty members’beliefs related to entrepreneurship education and how these beliefs may be translated intopractice in entrepreneurship programs and courses. A total of 26 faculty members participated ina semi-structured interview to examine their beliefs related to entrepreneurship education. Thesefaculty members came from one of three large research institutions having strongentrepreneurship programs for undergraduate students. The faculty members were from variousdisciplines including engineering, business, and others. The

questions were as follows: (1) how learning trajectories were related withconflicts and innovation competency from students’ perspective? (2) how learningtrajectories were related with conflicts and innovation competency from academic staff’sperspectives? (3) how students and academic staff’s perspectives were similar and differentfrom the literatures? Besides providing a brief literature review, we collected empiricaldata by one-year observation and 14 interviews in one engineering master program,Environment Management, at +++ University, Denmark. The empirical findings displaydiverse views on conflicts in relation to innovation competency from both students andacademic staff’s statement, which reminded educators to reflect the use
