. Page 24.395.4Index of Learning Styles (ILS)The Felder-Soloman Index of Learning Styles (ILS) is one of the most popular learning styleinstruments4-5– especially in engineering education. It is based on Felder and Silverman‘smodel and assesses preferences on four bipolar dimensions: Active-Reflective, Sensing-Intuitive, Visual-Verbal, and Sequential-Global. Active learners prefer doing things,particularly in groups. Reflective learners work better alone, with time to think about the taskbefore doing it. Sensing learners like facts, data, and experimentation and work well withdetail. Intuitive learners prefer ideas and theories, particularly when they get to grasp andgenerate new ideas. Verbal learners like to hear information and engage in

flow ofinnovation which is reflected in their definition: innovation is the multi-stage process wherebyorganizations transform ideas into new/improved products, services, or processes, in order toadvance, compete and differentiate themselves successfully in their marketplace (p. 1334).Given the recent emphasis on the word innovation, some warn that it risks losing its meaning bybecoming a buzz word. The author of The Myths of Innovation, Scott Berkun, suggested that theword has been overused and warned people to stop.9 His rationale was that Einstein, Ford, da Page 25.1259.3Vinci, Picasso, and Edison rarely said it and people use it as a cop

Thefaculty member directing the study invited students to participate; names of participatingstudents were not disclosed to instructors. Aggregate student response to surveys was notdisclosed until after the end of the course and grades had been finalized. Three times throughoutthe semester – within approximately two weeks of the start, end, and middle – students were sentan email with a link to the SIMS/Curiosity survey and asked to complete it while reflecting onthe most recent instance of their course.

They state that “if we want students who are lifelonglearners, can use what they know and have the capacity for critical analysis, thenprograms like service-learning, which help them construct knowledge from experienceand reflection, should form the core of their educational experience.

Alex also showed no link betweenProduction and Opportunity, potentially indicating a view of innovation with finite beginningand end states.Ben’s Markov chain diagram demonstrated a more sequential view of the early process stageswith strong return loops for both Opportunity and Prototyping. His diagram also containedfrequent transition for Testing and Production back to Design, indicating frequent iterationduring later stages of the process. The closed loop from Production back to Opportunity mayindicate a more cyclic view of the innovation process

. IntroductionIn the five years leading up to the beginning of our current strategic planning cycle, the Collegeof Engineering at Purdue had undergone a period of significant growth both in faculty andfacilities. The key questions facing the college centered around how to identify and realize theopportunities that this growth was creating. With this in mind, when the work on the nextgeneration strategic plan began in late 2006, inclusiveness and widespread engagement ofstakeholders were defining goals for the planning process. Reflecting this goal of including alllevels of faculty and staff as well as students, outside academic and industrial experts andalumni,approximately hundreds of people across 25 continentshave been engaged in the preparation ofthe

effective innovation areoften anxiety producing. To make matter worse, an engineer’s performance in these same areasis directly diminished by the resulting fear and insecurity. These areas include creativity,ethnographic research (which involves observing and talking with strangers), presenting one’sideas to peers and superiors, accepting and objectively reflecting on constructive (and non-constructive) criticism, and working on teams with people whom you did not select (and may notlike). The more confident and competent one is in performing these tasks, the more effective aninnovators he/she is. However, if the inherent anxiety of these tasks diminishes one’s confidence,the reduction of competence will follow, leading to yet lower confidence.An

, innovation regulation, and other aspects. Skilled or not, individual innovators and teams operate within the System of Innovation. An innovator skilled at the highest levels will understand how to play the game effectively within the System of Innovation. A particular System of Innovation need not be based on the Innovation Competencies, but we argue that the more effective ones (even in the natural world) are. The System of Innovation includes the (optional) ability to represent (model) the Innovated System. So, models of System 1 may, but need not, appear inside the models of System 3, and 2. Likewise, we are interested in educating future innovators about the System of Innovation itself, and encouraging their reflection on

To some extent, at least in the U.S.context, entrepreneurship seemed to be becoming the frontier that had previously been occupiedby the space program.These hypotheses are supported by further evidence that 2009-2010 saw the emergence of whatmight be called the “cult of the entrepreneur,” a phenomenon in which entrepreneurship andentrepreneurs are viewed not only as the leading figures in business innovation, but also as Deleted

It can also be used to aid instructors by helping them identify whatparts of their curriculum need more attention [5].
