creative and innovative whileconcomitantly promoting change. The method promoted here is a “leaderless classroom”approach, which requires students to become entirely and radically responsible for theirown learning. In contrast to traditional modes and styles of teaching, which encourageunenlightened students to remain passive recipients of knowledge imparted by all-knowing professors during the learning process, the “leaderless classroom” casts typicalprofessorial and student roles asunder. The latter assume complete responsibility for thecreative, innovative, and change process, to include goal setting and direction, in and out-of-class activities, topics and content studied, learning processes, and student assessment.The result is a classroom

School of Engineering all believe thata strong technical engineering degree is extremely well complemented and strengthened by theliberal arts foundation at High Point University, particularly the emphases on oral and writtencommunication, ethics, research methods, and entrepreneurship. Thus, it is not the co-existenceof liberal arts and engineering that is the challenge, but rather the size of the liberal arts coreat High Point University and blending this with engineering harmoniously. When the universitychanged the length of the typical course from three semester hours to four in fall 2010, the numberof courses in the core did not substantially change, effectively increasing the size of the core byone third.

The collected data will help us better understand the educational environment andeducational processes3, as well as the actors situated within them. In this paper, we offer ananalysis of pilot data to better understand how the classes might align with desired outcomes -such as student development of self-authorship, reflective practice, and capacity for innovation.Using this analysis, we identify possible implications for (a) adjustment of academic plans, and(b) evaluating and adjusting the educational environment, both described by Lattuca & Stark’smodel.Introduction / Purpose Statement

In the first implementation, it was during a lecture-based “Introduction toBiomechanics” course at LTU that was required for BME juniors who had already completed a semester-long “Statics” course and were concurrently taking “Biomechanics Lab”. There were 13 students in thiscourse. The second implementation was in a “BME Senior Lab” course at WNE. This required coursewas taken by twenty senior biomedical engineering students who were also enrolled in a second semester-long “Biomechanics” course that focused on dynamics

EM.IntroductionEntrepreneurship education has been regarded as an important component of undergraduatetraining programs in the last decade [1], including in engineering education [2]. For example,94% or above of faculty and academic administrators believe that students should have access toinnovation and entrepreneurship opportunities via electives and/or extracurricular activities,despite their personal engagement level in those opportunities [2]. Most respondents in the study,however, identify challenges to making entrepreneurship a core component of curriculum, with a“lack of room in curriculum” reported as the most common challenge [2].The author(s) acknowledge The Kern Family Foundation’s support and collaboration through theKern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network

Later in the semester class sessions include topics on device specification,development and innovation, intellectual property and patents, regulatory requirements,entrepreneurship, marketing, [10,11] and medical ethics relevant to device design.

Finally, in the third unit, students discussedadditional frameworks for product development, such as lean and agile methodologies.While the two sections—Section A and Section B—contained considerable overlap in theircontent, and the two instructors communicated about class activities, content, and assignments,the two sections differed in how content was delivered.
