facilitatelearning of the methodologies, the steps could be organized into one “grand” creative problemsolving approach that consisted of five steps. By doing this, repetition was avoided, and theclassroom time was used more efficiently. Essentially the steps are A) Planning your approach,B) Defining the correct problem/understanding the challenge, C) Generate Ideas/Alternatives –Brainstorm, D) Decide course of action/Preparing for action/Carry through/Implement, E)Acceptance and Evaluation. Table 1 shows the general steps of the six methodologies studiedand references for each method are given. The letters beside each step correspond to steps A-Elisted above. Just because the steps are combined does not mean that there is no room forvariation or

-efficacybeliefs are assumed to be acquired through four primary informational or learning sources: (a)personal performance accomplishments; (b) vicarious learning; (c) verbal persuasion; and (d)physiological and affective states (Bandura, 1997, p.79). Learning experiences thus play acentral role in developing self-efficacy, and are therefore adopted as a focus of this study.3.0 Research QuestionThis paper addresses the question of how learning experiences (extracurricular collegeactivities related to innovation and entrepreneurship to be more specific) may be connected toinnovation self-efficacy (ISE.6).4.0 Method4.1 Engineering Majors SurveyThe Engineering Majors Survey (EMS) is a 35-question online survey administered toupwards of 30,000 engineering
Beta Project.Alex B.: ACE mobile pollution monitorAlex developed the ACE, a low-cost, portable, and smartphone-connected set of sensorsthat measure the exposure of bicyclists to air pollution while cycling in car traffic. Thedevice also tracks the cyclists’ speed, heart rate, and proximity to vehicles. It can be usedto identify routes with high versus low exposure to pollutants, as well as providing inputto crowdsourcing of pollution maps. The project was awarded an additional $5,000 infunding from the Portland State Cleantech Challenge (https://www.pdx.edu/clean-challenge/), which allowed Alex to develop an improved prototype. Alex used thetechnology for his Ph.D. dissertation research. He graduated and continues to do researchon urban air

The goal of including these stages in thisorder was to (a) address the survey constructs from a variety of lenses and (b) to vary thespecificity with which they referred to the four discovery behaviors.Thematic Analysis ProcedureThematic analysis35 was performed on the nine interview transcripts in order to understand thechallenges students faced in employing the four discovery behaviors within an engineeringcontext or, conversely, factors that supported the utilization of the discovery behaviors. Thematicanalysis is useful in uncovering the latent meaning among a group of participants, which isparticularly helpful in this instance as many participants’ responses were directly related to

The system level requirements were captured in an A-specification (SystemSpecification) whereas the lower level requirements are documented in B-specifications (ProductSpecifications) and D-specifications (Process Specifications). The Dynamic Object OrientedRequirements System (DOORS) from TelelogicTM was used to capture all the requirements, theirattributes, their satisfaction arguments, and their relationships to each other and to thequalification strategy9. Once completed, the set of requirements were used to design the VGKMand subsequently build a prototype as discussed in the next section.7.0 Design and prototype developmentThe system
