successfulinnovation from yet another perspective, the wellbeing of a university. Denning and Dunham 32define innovation as the art of getting people to adopt change. “Many inventions never becomeinnovations, and many innovations do not involve an invention.” They studied hundreds ofinnovators and distilled their practices into eight categories. They suggest that innovation is acontinuing process of learning and practicing at increasing levels of skill. We have a good recordon innovation, with several patents, royalties and industry collaborations among us. We haveadopted their eight-stage process to combine change with existing practices and competinginterests, and achieve successful innovation. The mapping shows that our work on smart phoneApps is

This project was judged verypositively by a jury of students, faculty and guests from industry for its technical and artisticmerits and relevance for the local community. The author hopes that information on this projectwill stimulate even more creative multidisciplinary design collaborations across the country andfurther enhance the learning experiences of all students.

theinfluence of project roles on shared leadership development within capstone engineering teams.Capstone design courses are often relied upon by engineering programs to teach professionalskills, such as teamwork and collaboration, that students need for success in the workforce andthat educator's need to meet ABET requirements [4]. Assigning roles contributes to the creationof a team, whose members share leadership responsibilities and a specific goal, rather than theformation of a group, in which individuals work independently toward a broader, organization-wide mission. [5]. Research situated in industry and in education identifies the value of havingclearly defined roles in helping teams work collaboratively to meet mission, vision, goals
resistance to design thinking principles, resourceconstraints, industry collaboration barriers, and assessment complexities. The findings highlighthow these challenges interact and compound each other, particularly in how resource limitationsaffect both teaching quality and industry engagement.The findings suggest that the inconsistent integration of design into engineering programs posessignificant challenges for developing well-rounded engineers. This study contributes tounderstanding design thinking implementation in engineering education and suggests the needfor systematic changes in curriculum development, educator support, and resource allocation tobetter prepare engineers for complex, interdisciplinary problems.1.

The most notable of these are co-operative (Co-op)engineering programs, and there are many other forms of internships, industry-sponsoredresearch, and various other university-industry collaborations that help young engineers learn toapply their new skills at work. This paper describes a project that offers students the opportunityfor paid engineering work right on campus, on a university-licensed software product.

makes it more difficult to attract thebest domestic and foreign student. Also, the lack of graduate courses in high demandareas such as structures significantly reduces our ability to attract local graduate students.In this situation, we made a collective decision to pursue two complementary approachesto enhance the quality and content of our post-BS program. The first is a noveleducational paradigm called “bridge courses.” (Note: the word “bridge” is usedmetaphorically rather than literally here, even though an example used later is in the areaof structural engineering.) The second is a collaboration with industry to identify the mostimportant foci for our graduate programs and to expand our academic programs in thesedirections. The courses

However, there are issues and challenges in choosingwhich family of microcontrollers to select, such as Microchip PIC, Arduino ATMEL, ARM etc.for engineering education and training. The Texas Instruments (TI) ARM M4 microcontroller was selected because the NSF I-CorpL project results indicated that the academic community needed a new advanced microcontrollerplatform to meet industry technical training demands [1]. The TI ARM M4 based curriculum designand development project illustrates how the collaborative efforts between faculty at differentinstitutions can be beneficial in developing instructional materials that lead to effective teaching andimproved student learning.
