Oneof the elements of participation involves redesigning the capstone senior design curriculum tomake it more innovation and entrepreneurship oriented and as such have a positive impact onstudent satisfaction. This paper details the expectations of students beginning a two-coursesequence in the capstone curriculum. The student survey data led to a rebalancing of the curriculumto one that was solely based on “how-to-do” senior design projects to one that still includes “how-to-do" lecture themes but now includes lecture themes in innovation and entrepreneurship

However, if the U.S. is tomaintain its economic leadership position, innovation is the key, and engineering education mustbe adjusted to incorporate innovative thinking while emphasizing the need to maximize customervalue1. This is especially important considering the evolution of a global marketplace.Known effective pedagogies, such as active-learning or problem-based learning, have positivelyinfluenced engineering education.
