The first courseemphasizes a software component-based top-down system design approach for Appdevelopment. The second course deals with tools for asset (graphic and animation) buildup andthe aesthetic aspects in mobile application design. The third course focuses on business theories,marketing strategies, project management, and work breakdown. The fourth course advisesanthropology students on research methods to observe, document, and (occasionally) advise theproject teams.

Thiscase study [11] illustrates elements of entrepreneurship in engineering and traces the start-up of acompany providing mountain bike parts launched by two engineering graduates that areconcurrently undertaking PhD research. The rubric was used to score student performance on thecase study in five outcomes along a 4-point scale (1 = Not Evident, 2 = Emerging, 3 =Developing, and 4 = Mastering): (1) Define problems, opportunities, and solutions in terms ofvalue creation; (2) Assess risk; (3) Anticipate technical developments by

Theengineering background appears to serve as optimal background in guiding Kumonstudents towards potential careers in mathematics, science, and the technology fields.Simultaneously, by moving from engineering to entrepreneurship, theseinstructor/engineers find themselves in an excellent, independent job position. Thispaper discusses the flow of practicing engineer from a regular salaried position toindependent entrepreneurship involving the K-12 supplemental education environment.It also provides information about the benefits and disadvantages of the career change,based on interviews with Kumon franchisees

Tacit Knowledge in the Innovation Process Robert J. Podlasek, PH.D, PE Department of Mechanical Engineering Bradley UniversityAbstractTechnical innovation and entrepreneurship drive economic growth and prosperity. The successof the innovation process depends on utilizing new and existing technical knowledgeexpeditiously and in novel ways. Many new ideas are the result of the convergence of knowledgefrom seemingly unrelated domains and/or fields of interest. Moreover, innovative ideas tend toemerge from a combination of experience, published information, and dialogue. This process ofcollaboration and team science to

instruction was motivated by several factors. One is therelatively new emphasis at Louisiana Tech University on entrepreneurship. This emphasis has acentral focal point on campus, the Center for Entrepreneurship and Information Technology, orCEnIT. The mission of this center is to create an innovative entrepreneurial culture at LouisianaTech University. In order to change a culture, it is reasonable to begin with new members of thatculture. Another factor is the authors’ desire to see an improvement in the senior design projectsfor the capstone mechanical engineering design course sequence. These projects could benefitby attempting to have a marketable product as a final result. A third factor is the belief thatentrepreneurship begins by having ideas

Dean, Ph.D. College of Business, San Jose State University Abstract: After the first business plan competition, in May 2003, San José State University (SJSU) faculty and community entrepreneurs serving on the university’s Silicon Valley Center for Entrepreneurship (SVCE) concluded that the process should be spread over an academic year. Hence, the New Venture Fair (NVF) was born, which was held Dec. 16, 2003. The feedback from all sources has been very

technical design and entrepreneurship. This was accomplished using aniterative design process of an electric-generating power plant that compared performance, cost,and environmental effects as key metrics. Additionally, a socio-political aspect is instilledthrough “governmental regulations” introduced throughout the course of the project. The modulewas implemented twice in Thermodynamics II. After each execution, a preliminary study wasconducted via student surveys to determine if students considered the module a valuable additionto the course. These preliminary findings aimed at not only determining if the module should becontinued in the future, but also at evaluating if the module resulted in: (1) increased studentengagement and interest in

leadership skills. The course sequence has a positive impact on studentconfidence and graduation rates, and is a positive inducement to bring students into thedepartment 10. A few projects have resulted in start-up ventures. A big advantage of this type ofcourse is that as a Senior Design variant, it is readily accommodated within an existingcurriculum.A recently developed course sequence at the Pennsylvania State University deserves mention 11, asit represents an example of an engineering entrepreneurship program with strong business schoollinks. The engineering entrepreneurship minor consists of six classes in total: four requirementsand two electives.

For this portion,students are also asked at the beginning of the course to identify a material, a material intensiveproduct (product whose manufacturing or performance is dominated by a material) or a materialprocess that they wish to innovate and are able to discuss throughout the semester. We will referto this as the student “project,” although it is continually built upon as an imaginative case study.Instructions and example investor pitch presentations are provided in class, and the student willuse the framework and direction provided to encase his or her “project.” As each project isfocused on an innovation, the pitch can be focused toward venture funding or as a corporaterequest for

recognize that learningassociated with these courses is different than occurs in many other engineering classes, butmany disagree on appropriate learning outcomes for the course. Critical questions are: (1) What should and have students learned and demonstrated through their capstone design courses? (2) Do these abilities match the public’s expectations for graduates who will be leading technical and business innovation for our nation in coming years?As demonstrated by these questions, capstone design course instructors must give properattention to defining, accomplishing, and measuring achievements of targeted student learningoutcomes.

There was a stronginterest in establishing endowed professorships in innovation that would be distributedacross disciplines. These professorships would have release time and financial resources.They would be appointed for terms and then become available to others. There was also astrong interest in a pool of student assistantships available. Such assistance would behelpful in developing class exercises or on short-term innovation projects.

Storytellingprovides a generative focus to explore and discover the methods of inquiry from the class andapply them to how individuals tell stories about cars, and the ways their storytelling informs anew conceptual design. A person’s behavior around cars is the framework around which studentstell and listen to stories as both individual and group storytellers. A mixed-method theoreticalapproach draws from social psychology and cognitive psychology, design thinking, and art.Findings indicate that people relate to cars in ways unlike any other object. As a result they tellcar stories
