Entrepreneurship & Engineering Innovation

Paper ID #9031A Critical Review of Measures of InnovativenessMs. Jessica Menold Jessica Menold is a doctoral student in mechanical engineering at the Pennsylvania State University. As an undergraduate at Penn State she was heavily involved with a STEM outreach program called the engineering ambassadors. She currently works as a graduate mentor for entrepreneurial student groups on campus as a part of Penn State’s Lion Launch Pad team. Her interests in entrepreneurs, as well as engineering education, has led her to the study of innovation in engineers, working with Dr. Kathryn Jablokow. Her current research focuses on

This has now evolved into a system inwhich JPL provides design topics and mentors for student teams. Usually, a list of eight to tentopics is provided, giving teams a choice of design problem. The mentors work with the teamsthroughout the semester and a subset of the JPL mentors come to campus to hear the final oraldesign presentations at the end of the semester.The mentors at JPL provide the design teams with expert advice and keep

It is based on a number of assumptions, such as the assumption thatthere are people who know more about a given topic who are outside the local community thanthose who are inside that community, and/or the visitors would receive more “respect” or “expertstatus” because they are not part of the local community. From experience, we do know thatsometimes novelty, or being outside a community, can lend credibility to a message.

students in the United Statesare not fully aware of the STEM career opportunities available to them [3]. Furthermore, persistence inSTEM college majors is influenced by factors such as high school performance in math and science, resultsfrom STEM placement exams, the aspiration to pursue graduate degrees and a strong sense of self-efficacyin STEM fields [4]. Outreach events promoting STEM fields for K-12 students come in many differentforms [5]. Age-appropriate activities have been proven to benefit students at all educational stages, oftenencouraging interest in STEM-related careers and are effective in raising awareness [6].

This existingcourse was based on traditional engineering topics such as circuit analysis, thermodynamics, and computingand students learned basic skills in a conventional lecture-recitation format. The existing course was found tobe lacking as a motivating and exciting experience for first year engineering students. Since these two factorsplay strong roles in student retention and persistence, an interdisciplinary team of faculty decided to
