Accordingly, this paper describes a configurable referencemodel for the System of Education of innovators. In addition to being configurable for differentstakeholder situations, it may also be configured differently to experiment in support of differenttheories of what would be superior. This paper offers some suggestions on rebalancedconfigurations of this reference model, for the Ideal Educational Experience of future innovatorsin different situations.The process of educating engineering graduates is comprised of a series of experiences rangingfrom attending classes, working in laboratories, participating in

Students’ response inboth levels being very positive, the application of these techniques in other higher levelundergraduate courses, as well as graduate projects, has been deemed to be justified.References1.
