calls for an increasing role for entrepreneurship and innovation inengineering programs.In summary, the Mann report provides an etymological definition of engineering as a nobleventure to help the United States improve industry and production and by so doing haveengineering take its place beside other esteemed professions. Engineering programs were tobalance scientific, technical, and humanistic studies to produce graduates with a measure ofknowledge and character who could take act in their roles in industry; the focus was highlypragmatic. Although taught in universities, engineering was not to be a purely academicdiscipline, and should emphasize both doing and knowing. Engineers clearly worked in thehuman realm and were more valuable in their

Finally, Lockheed-Martin will participate in the semester ending product demonstrationpresentations scheduled for this May 2004, which will be the first class to complete the EICsequence.4.) Reach out beyond the cor e gr oup of pilot pr ogr am faculty. As anyone who has studied orparticipated in curricular innovation knows, many good ideas have no long-term positive impactbecause the core group of innovators who originate and pilot the program never gain broadsupport from other faculty or their institution. Consequently, another guiding principle of ourefforts was to seek faculty buy-in and
the educationaloutcomes for engineers and others to meet the needs of industry created through innovation. It isessential for graduating engineers and people with technical skills to be prepared to work in arapidly changing world.Today we are experiencing an increasing rate of significant change in parts of society in which, it Page 22.748.3used to be common for companies to manufacture and sell everything locally or within a region;it is now not only common but necessary to participate and compete on a global scale.Companies of all sizes are involved in many different regions throughout the world, and it is nowcommon for small companies to

American students strongly believed that VLscould replace in-person labs and that African American students found VLs to be good learningtools and indicated engineering as an essential part of their self-image to higher degrees than otherrace/ethnicity student populations.Implications for PracticeStudies such as these are critical in elucidating how laboratory environments affirm (or do notaffirm) students’ positionality in engineering. Furthermore, this work helps educators as theycontemplate evidence-based practices for updating and modernizing laboratory equipment,protocols, and subject matter in innovative, novel ways. Lastly, this study works to build student-centered personalized learning approaches that are needed to customize learning for

That is, connecting may serve as a way to build new leader-followerrelationships, within an organization or outside of it, and do work that is more ethical orfulfilling. Dominic discussed forming a cross-functional team that did innovative work on assetmanagement in part because they rejected protocols and hierarchy. As he put it, “I wasspearheading it, but I wouldn’t say there was any particular leader. It was four people putting ourheads together.” Describing a similar effort to work across

Course Evaluation Results and Social Network CharacteristicsThe VIP Program is an innovative approach to developing multi-institutional, vertically-integrated engineering design/research projects. Through the use of vertically-integrated teams,students interact with various ranks of students and faculty, with the intention of gainingtechnical expertise and a wide range of skills related to the research group environment.VIP faculty are able to directly observe changes in student learning and then adapt theirmentoring and teaching approaches accordingly. However, faculty tend

encouraging innovation [8].Previous WorkIntroductory courses serve as gateways to many majors in science and engineering. A key barrierto success in the STEM curriculum is very high rates of failure or withdrawal in introductorySTEM courses. Traditionally the format for instruction is lecture oriented, often in large lecturehalls not conducive to student interchange and discussion, so students work in isolation and areunable to engage in course discussion with peers outside of class [2], [5], [9], [10].

Each group developed proposals that would improve the strawman. The suggestion had to be created in the form of a motion that could be voted up or down. For anything added to
