Due to each of our skills and interests, we decided to work on developing a physical therapy device.” 2. For some students, the project tied in directly with their major and for other students, the project did not relate to their major at all. “Some of the students did not gain experience in their particular major (specifically the biomedical engineers) due to the nature of the project.” “This course introduced me to a new branch of electrical engineering: medical devices.

An innovation-based curriculum allows students to bridge this gap which could leadto enhanced interest in STEM subjects. In one study, Baker, et al found the applied andintegrative aspects of engineering design to enhance student learning and to increasestandardized test scores.22 This may be due to the fact that engineering design and innovationpromotes learning through inquiry, provides an opportunity for structured problem solving and iswell suited to team based learning.

Programs can also vary in terms of how they define their desiredoutcomes; some focus on generating a general awareness of entrepreneurship as a potentialcareer path, while others focus on developing innovative products and/or new business modelsand ventures. Some engineering schools, rather than offer a stand-alone course inentrepreneurship, integrate entrepreneurship throughout the engineering curriculum. Oneexample is Olin College which offers an integrated approach, whereby “entrepreneurship isinterwoven with mainstream engineering disciplines” (Fredholm et al., 2002).Entrepreneurship
