the interest of clearly defining what was expected from this paper, the authors developed thefollowing logic model for the Innovations Process program (see Figure 1). Logic models arecommonly used to help deliver a “long-term vision of how program participants will be better off(changed) because of the program” (Fitzpatrick, Sanders, and Worthen, 2004, p. 79).This logic model works to identify and correlate the inputs, outputs, activities, and outcomeswith the goals of the Innovation Process program. Inputs (treatment): The following investments of the Innovations Process were identified: Six full-time faculty members are charged with identifying, verifying, and selecting appropriate client companies to work with
. The reports go on, however, to conclude that institutions with similar purposes can learn a great deal from one another. It is in this spirit that we present a history and current snapshot of the Bucknell Innovation and Entrepreneurship Ecosystem. We present an engineeringcentric view of our ecosystem to provide insights most relevant to the audience for this paper and because our engineering college has been a driving force behind many of the initiatives. Specific examples are presented but the intention is not to be comprehensive or prescriptive. Rather, we aim to illustrate how elements of our ecosystem map to theoretical frameworks for innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystems and university change models. All of these elements lead

method of presenting material– and on the degree to which each course component or activityis interesting or engaging. Using a rating system, students responded for themselves by providingtheir ratings on learning and engagement levels for each listed class component. Correlativeresults showed that the students possessed a relatively distinctive profile in their ‘like-learn’responses. The paper discusses this outcome and also provides suggestions on how to bettercalibrate our assessments with the students’ perceptions. We also describe strategies to manageany mismatches that may exist between students and instructors on some of the components. Theobjective is to identify and combine the most effective blend of learning modes in anintroductory

in engineering programs across the country. As a result,this paper will describe an NSF funded initiative at Wright State University to redefine the wayengineering mathematics is taught, with the goal of increasing student retention, motivation andsuccess in engineering. This paper will provide a brief overview of the WSU model forengineering mathematics education, including its impact on student retention and success. It willalso summarize the scope of a 2008 NSF CCLI Phase 3 award, which includes pilot adoption andassessment of the WSU model by a total of 15 institutions across the country.Introduction The traditional engineering curriculum requires at least one full year of calculus as aprerequisite to core sophomore-level
students.” Among the models of cognitive diversity available to us,Kirton’s Adaption-Innovation (A-I) theory19 provides special insight with respect to ourstudents’ efforts in solving problems. In particular, A-I theory identifies four principal variablesthat can be used to explain many of the variations we see among our students as they solveproblems, namely: cognitive level (capacity/resource), cognitive style (preferred approach),motive (driving force), and opportunity (including one’s perception of it). In this paper, we willfocus on cognitive style, its diversity among our students, and the importance of distinguishingbetween style and level in engineering education.In general, cognitive level is a unipolar construct that relates to one’s
Engineering Education, 2006 Learning through Service: Analysis of a First Semester, College-Wide, Service-Learning Course1. AbstractService-learning is a pedagogy which strives to integrate student learning with communityservice. In an engineering context, service-learning provides a project-based experience in whichstudents are confronted with real clients and problems, often of immediate need. In the context ofcourse development, however, many engineering faculty seem to feel that service learning isinfeasible in technical and/or large engineering courses, and that the overhead and opportunitycosts associated with service learning exceed the benefits received by students.This paper contemplates two years of service
