Many in their third,fourth or fifth year of their program, perform, act and behave as potential future faculty (leadtheir own discussion/class, grade papers, hold office hours etc). In a recent case study [1],students discussed their consideration going into faculty positions and found this programincreased their efficacy in both their professional and technical competencies.In the commitment to teaching and innovation excellence, UMBC decided to

The course titled “Customer-Driven Technical Innovation: Silicon Valley” studies the role ofengineering innovation in addressing customer needs in early start-ups, and the need to conceivea successful innovative engineering design as part of the commercialization strategy. It emphasizesunderstanding how engineering innovation can meet real technical market needs and how to gatherthe necessary, relevant technical information early in the innovation process to produce asuccessful engineering design.The course analyzes common shortcomings of early technology startups and creates anunderstanding of

Creating a concept map is one way for students to represent connections between ideas.Concept maps, or mind maps, are visual representations of the organization and connectionsbetween pieces of information [3]–[5]. Relationships between various concepts are shown byconnecting lines or arcs.
