EM was operationalized as 17 behavior outcomes,which are intended to be taught across four years of the undergraduate curriculum in at leastthree required courses: one during the first-year, another during the sophomore or junior year,and a third in the senior Capstone Design course.

entrepreneurship, researchand development, and service into educational practices [5]. An individual’s learning processesand problem-solving techniques are influenced naturally by their surroundings [6]. Therefore,innovation pedagogy puts emphasis on combining initial learning simultaneously with itsapplication in practical contexts [7]. The reasoning behind this “learning by doing” approachgives students the opportunity to think conceptually about how the learning can be used insteadof being told how to use the learning. This pushes students to think for themselves and devisetheir own solutions to problems. Such practices also show students that it is okay to try ideas andnot have them work out.

creation of a “CreativityMinor”. A cross-college committee was formed and the focus changed from creativity andinnovation to leadership, specifically leadership for engineers. The minor would help studentsdevelop the essential leadership skills necessary in engineering, including project management,working in teams, communication skills, global awareness, green engineering, and professionalethics.11 In 1995 the Plan was crystallized by the proposal for an Engineering LeadershipDevelopment Minor (ELDM) consisting of courses in leadership, organizational and businessskills, entrepreneurship, and a capstone course in science, technology and public policy.12Creativity and innovation, although the original focus of the proposed Minor and

The long-term participation ofstudents is essential to the peer-to-peer learning and mentorship that sustains VIP Teams overtime. As students become more experienced on the VIP Team, they are expected to provideguidance to newer members, and have opportunities to hold different roles as well as a positionof leadership within the VIP Team.

Students will need a broader set of skills and knowledge tosucceed in the scientific arena. A more relevant approach would be to combine differentdisciplines and create a multidisciplinary or interdisciplinary program.
