Entrepreneurship & Engineering Innovation

Grintner Report, the applied,practical approach to engineering education that nurtured young innovators was replaced by amore theoretical approach6. This theoretical approach was fitting for a time when engineeringcorporations were large and sought workers to simply execute their plans. However, society isnow characterized by organizations that generate wealth from the innovations of their workers7.Indeed, employers seek graduates that can apply their knowledge, have the ability to innovate,can communicate effectively, work in teams and understand contexts and constraints8,9, all skillstypically addressed by entrepreneurship education. Such skills also prepare students to start theirown companies based on their own innovations10, which also serves

realized the distinctionsbetween theory and practice. Therefore, they demonstrated an awareness to connect theory topractice. For example, they would set extra time aside just in case for unexpected problems infeasibility tests, taking into account the gap between theory and practice. What’s more, theexperience of project-based learning can help students know more about the process of research.Based on these experiences, some students started to make plans for their future. Students reflecton the meaning of their major and the emphasis of their research orientation. Some students wonderabout whether they are going to receive further education or not. The thoughts about future plansreflected that students started to undertake major responsibilities

efforts in planning for the elective course beganfour months before the start of the spring semester, with Professor B largely focused on contentchoices and overwhelmed with the process of mapping that onto a semester. Roughly threemonths before the course began, the faculty met to discuss general course design and decidewhat resources may be most practical to help form the structure and organization of the course.In this one-hour meeting, the faculty discussed principles of backward design and learningobjectives.One of the quintessential discussions of backward design comes from Wiggins and McTighe[12], who spell out the idea in three simple stages: (1) identify what students should be able to doby the end of the course; (2) determine the

We ask engineeringeducators to identify two memorable, recent teaching-related decisions in terms of pre-active(planning) and interactive (in-class) stages. They then describe the situation, the process ofmaking the decision, the factors that they took into account, and the outcomes of their teaching-related decisions. In this paper, we focus on time as the one specific factor that emerged acrossall the participants in this research study.IntroductionDecision making is central to the teaching of engineering, however, little has been written aboutthe teaching decisions of engineering educators.

to significantlyimprove subsequent years of the program. Some teachers felt that certain experiments did notaddress the frameworks needs; in fact they had this concern about their highest rated activitywhich was subsequently one used most often in their classrooms. Others felt some activities didnot fit the grade level they teach and they felt uncomfortable modifying the activity. In follow-up interviews, none of the teachers used all, or a majority, of the experiments from the year oneInstitute. Many of the simpler experiments (earthquakes, acids and bases, density) wereincorporated into lesson plans, but the teachers avoided experiments such as ethanol production,perhaps because they did not have a high comfort level with using a perceived

To the maxi-mum extent possible, this includes providing the resources necessary for conducting the in-classactivity. In cases where the resources cannot be provided, the lesson plan includes a list of all theitems the instructor will need in class along with an indication of those that must be obtainedfrom a source external to the TExT. The key points of this objective are to ensure (a) that eachactivity is well designed as a student learning experience, (b) that implementation of each activ-ity is straightforward and time-efficient and (c) that

]. However, there are relatively few structured approaches to organizing,sequencing, and bounding such experimental prototyping. Given that prototyping is pervasive tothe design process through ideation, concept selection and design verification, it stands to reasonthat prototyping is a process worthy of scholarly attention. This research explores methodologiesto enhance prototyping during concept development, particularly engineering prototypes, i.e.those used to verify or improve the functionality, performance and operation of a novel device orsystem. Based on design context variables such as the total allotted time for the prototypingeffort, the methodologies introduced in this paper will provide practical planning for studentprototyping efforts

Manufacturing relates to the transformation of materials from one form toanother. In this process, the properties of the materials involved can also be transformed—thatis, the manufacturing process can change the properties of materials. Thus in the materialsselection and manufacturing planning phases of the design process for a product, it is essentialthat
