Taken together,these factors create a fertile environment that presents the opportunity to innovate.Our understanding of the problem emerged from iterative rounds of conversations withour clients, stakeholders, and users. Some conversations were informal, others weredepartment or college-wide meetings, and some involved archiving and analyzing formaland informal student feedback about the one undergraduate-level user-centered designcourse the department offered in order to understand student needs.

root of entrepreneurship, whether in emerging or existing enterprises, as “Managing Discovery for Wealth Creation.” ‚ Entrepreneurship is widely recognized as an academic field in its own right, with a huge research literature that spans, inter alia, organizational management, technology management, engineering management, economics, finance and marketing. The American Academy of Management has an entire division devoted to entrepreneurship. The American Society of Engineering Education does too. Babson College has become the leading undergraduate business program in the nation by focusing on an integrated curricular approach to entrepreneurship. The large number of existing educational

Unfortunately, whether or not we seek the information to makecomplete choices and demand to have our choice recognized, the decisions will happen bydefault. Thus it is imperative that members of a highly functioning, sustainable society bemotivated to seek to understand the source and implications of new technologies and collectivelymake “good” decisions about adoption of those technologies.This need for science and technology savvy citizens has been recognized by most universitiesand integrated into undergraduate curriculums.

attention needs to be given to the setting and developingundergraduate and graduate courses, laboratories, programs in these emergent areas of industry.U.S. and many other countries are on the cusp of transformational changes in how energy is usedand produced. Major investments are made by the governments and corporations in clean energytechnologies and smart grids, creating entirely new industries, while expanding the markets forclean energy sources, and support weatherization and other energy efficiency efforts. A criticalcomponent of these efforts is to train our graduates in these emerging energy areas, to have a21st century workforce1-10. These dramatic changes in the energy practices and technologies arealso requiring the adaptation of
