Each section was given a problem statement with some commonrequirements but with different degrees of autonomy. The autonomy varied in scope andconstruction materials allowed. The open-ended design projects spanned nine weeks. Studentswent through activities such as pain point discovery, information collection and synthesis,problem definition, brainstorming solutions, design decision, project management, proposalpresentation, construction and testing, final presentation and demonstration.

Innovation as suggested is the creationof a new product-market-technology-organisation-combination (PMTO-combination) consisting ofthree key elements: 1) Innovation is a process and should be managed as such, 2) the result is atleast one new element in the company’s PMTO-combinations. 3) The extent to which theinnovation is new may range from incremental, small step innovation, through synthetic innovation,i.e. the creative recombination of existing techniques, ideas or methods, to discontinuous, radical,quantum-leap innovation. Often new means: new, somewhere on the continuum. The company inthis case - a very small business - wanted just an aluminium

in managing and leading others [7], and companies signal to universities to producegraduates with leadership skills [8]. Responding to this demand, ABET [6] is requiring thatundergraduate engineering programs demonstrate attainment of student outcomes that includeleadership in a team setting. It remains to be seen how universities will demonstrate leadershipcompetencies in student outcomes [9] and how well these educational experiences will translateinto valued workplace behaviors. Despite a purported high level of interest, leadershipdevelopment in industry is often hit or miss, and on-the-job-training in leadership is the norm[10]. Indeed, none of the engineering graduates surveyed by Watson [11] mentioned anyworkplace training in the area

The Impact of a Hybrid Instructional Design in a First-Year Design (Cornerstone) Course on Student Understanding of the Engineering Design ProcessAbstractEngineering is synonymous with design, and the interchangeable use of the terms is ubiquitousin society: see, for example, Quicken Loans’ slogan “Engineered to Amaze.”30 Design classesare therefore fundamental to an undergraduate engineering plan of study; the gains in studentperformance and retention due to involvement in design activities are well documented in theliterature. Design is also one of the criteria by which programs are evaluated for ABETaccreditation.6 Therefore, the issue is not “should we offer design courses”; the issues concerncourse
