Our training approach is also well-aligned with the How People Learn framework because it leverages learner-centered,knowledge-centered, assessment-centered, and community-centered learning environments [9].The traineeship program aims to teach graduate students of various disciplines to: 1. Define a problem from multiple perspectives based on disciplinary knowledge, lived experiences, and community knowledge. 2. Utilize design thinking principles to break down open-ended problems. 3. Develop creative solutions by adapting and applying theories and methodologies from different disciplines. 4

attention is frequently focusedon individual creativity and other personality traits, organizational cultures, and other non-technical capabilities. We argue here that the typical descriptions of innovation competencies arecorrect but incomplete, lacking critical dimensions that are essential for planning an educationalcurriculum and assessing progress within it.The foundation of our model of innovation competencies rests on our definition of innovation:The ability to develop novel solutions to problems that result in significantly enhancedstakeholder satisfaction. As engineering educators, we believe that innovation is only effectivewhen it includes the full cycle leading to delivery of improved stakeholder outcomes, and thisintroduces challenges

Service-learning in core engineeringscience courses (such as fluids, heat transfer, materials, etc.) can be effective ways for students tolearn these technical skills.One engineering program found that students and the faculty who taught them identified service-learning students as more motivated to learn the subject matter, and the students reportedvoluntarily spending extra time on task (Duffy, Barry, Barrington, & Heredia, 2009).

In addition, interests can be assessed as a continuum, for example, fromstrongly dislike to strongly like an activity. SCCT posits that interests directly influence careergoals and are mediated by one’s self-efficacy (perceived ability to perform a task or negotiate anobstacle) and outcome expectations (e.g. consequences of trying a career choice).Environmental, or contextual, influences are divided into background (distal) and proximalwithin SCCT.
