What evidence is required to document a successful innovation?Engaging the Community – Our ProcessesA major emphasis of this project has been to engage audiences of the engineering educationcommunity (e.g., engineering education researchers, early adopters of engineering educationinnovations, engineering administrators who will promote propagation). During year one of theeffort, we engaged the community via three primary processes. The first two processes involveda Delphi study with subject matter experts (SMEs) from across the engineering educationresearch and administrative spectrum. The purpose of the Delphi study (conducted during thewinter and spring of 2015) was to identify the most critical unresolved issues facing engineeringeducation

This alleviates some of participants’ anxiety about teaching engineering, as it provides them with experience with the activities’ materials and their set-up; the format, structure, and flow of the activities; different outcomes and design solutions; and ideas about how to troubleshoot activities in the classroom. Additionally, thinking about the activities from their students’ points of view allows participants to foresee areas where students might have some difficulty

This data was then collapsed into Dym’s model from which empiricalassociations were made between the various stages. Coupled with the teams’ open-ended weeklyreflections, we were able to identify educational patterns that potentially lead to higher or lowerquality designs. Based on their final artifact, teams were judged to be innovative or non-innovative. We found that differences exist between those teams innovative non-innovativeteams.

One study found that motivation was highindependent of learning style [19].

While students did not significantly change theirbelonging or identity in our study, some students’ responses indicated that the process helpedthem find their identities.
