example, two of the IPM required courses arebased on interdisciplinary classes that faculty had taught as an overload because institutionalstructures only allowed work to be credited toward a single department.5 This reality means thatthe core courses of the IPM were not originally designed with the new general education learningoutcomes in mind. This kind of process is counter to the teaching-learning-assessment cycleproposed by Suskie, in which learning outcomes should ideally guide the design of a course.3Keeping in mind that reality rarely achieves perfection, the designers of the IPM decided that thebest course of action to address this challenge would be to conduct one iteration of assessment onthe three core courses even as the minor was

Its goal is toenhance innovative and inventive thinking abilities of undergraduate students resulting in skillsthat can be used in science, math, engineering and technology. In this paper we detail projectsand homework assignments, teaming and communication activities, and hands-on and funinteractive class actions. One of the core ideas of the class is the Eight-dimensional methodologyfor inventive and innovative problem solving: a systematic approach that stimulates innovationby effectively using both sides of the brain. The methodology is a unified approach that builds oncomprehensive problem solving knowledge from industry, business, marketing, math, science,engineering, technology, and daily life. It

imagination and innovation” [32]. ABET describesengineering design as “an iterative, creative, decision-making process in which the basicsciences, mathematics, and engineering sciences are applied to convert resources into solutions”[28]. However, including innovation in the engineering curriculum can be challenging. Anobvious question is who will teach that subject since faculty typically have little if any industrialexperience, let alone entrepreneurship knowledge and skills [33]. In addition to experience is thetime to develop, supervise, and grade open-ended design projects. Industry encouragesinnovation because it leads to increased profitability and value. Companies that fail to innovateare often left behind, lose market share, and may

Apart from this,engineers need to develop broad fundamental understanding of their professional responsibilitiesas well as the need to be entrepreneurial in order to understand and contribute in the context ofmarket and business pressures. If engineers can work with the public to explain how engineeringcan help address their problems, and to help them to decide which are the most effective andaffordable ways to address their concerns, the community can make great progress andimprovements.

work for proficiency naturally lends itself to the pass/no pass gradingscale compared to the traditional A-F grading scale. However, pass/no pass courses have beencited by students as demotivating to student learning,12 most likely because students areextrinsically motivated to learn by achievement of high letter grades. To help motivate studentlearning, future course offerings will be graded based on a demonstration of skill proficiency,attendance, and class participation.Some of the topics covered (hazard assessment, regulatory affairs, role of testing in design,economics, and entrepreneurship) had not been formally taught elsewhere within the requiredcourses in the BME curriculum.
