Included in assignment #1 was a requirement for the group to do a Microsoft Project schedule to help them assign roles and responsibilities for the entire project as well as a preliminary layout. Assignment #2 (Purple Report) was a full operational plan including the material requirements plan, where the students had to scale up from 1 batch of cookies to approximately 1200+/-300 per day and determine their production method. They had to research suppliers for ingredients and determine order quantities and how to store them. Further, they had to investigate equipment from mixers to scoops and one even

his studies, Guglielmino 26 identified that self-direction in learning is Page 24.33.5something that all individuals have to some varying degree. He also adds that despite theclassroom environment, the student’s attitudes, values, and abilities indicate their level of self-directed learning 26. Based on these factors, a self-directed learner can be described as one whohas initiative, independence and persistence in learning 26.Expectancy-Value TheoryExpectancy-value is comprised of the students’ expectancy for success in engineering and thevalue that they attach to activities related to engineering, like design courses 27, 28.

An advantage of integrating the curriculum is that students gain a betterunderstanding of basic principles without redundant lesson periods. In this integrated approach,basic principles that apply to all subjects within a track are introduced initially. The relevance ofthese basic principles is then reinforced as individual topics within the track are covered. Another disadvantage of the existing program is the myriad of textbooks adopted, most ofwhich are not from a textbook series. Since many courses inevitably adopt the distinct symbologyand format of the text, inexperienced engineering

Yet, the process bywhich a design can be created most efficiently and with the highest degree of innovation isseldom taught at American Universities. Recent research at several universities and industriesare increasing our understanding of both the engineering design process as well as effectivemeans for teaching that process. These research

This led to several issues, with the largest concern being that studentswere not learning anything with the program. Assessment in the program’s early days was alsonot well-defined, resulting in the program’s reputation for being an “easy A” course. It was clearthat a better framework and assessment plan was needed for the program to be successful.To achieve our objectives, Make to Innovate employed an innovative and dynamic approach toteaching.
