Innovation program coursework includes corporate finance, a course in law, technology, andentrepreneurship, an elective such as accounting, and Thayer School’s unique Introduction to Innovation course. TheIntroduction to Innovation course was specially designed for the program and provides instruction and practice incommercialization of new technologies over a nine-month period. Thayer is able to deliver a rich experience in thisregard due to a long history of integrating the practical aspects of market analysis and business planning intointerdisciplinary engineering design project coursework at the undergraduate level.

Three Planning Assignments (PA) were developed requiring Teams to work throughDesign Steps Two through Five for their GDC project outside of Lab.

These lesson plans aim at presenting the material ina way that all learning types are reached so that overall a greater breadth of students willsucceed.

As describe above and documented in t e tudent’ end of semester courseevaluations, the program seemed beneficial.

Both the Instructional Strategy and the Teaching Model emphasize the use of well-crafted learning objectives to establish what the student will be able to do when completing a lesson, a block of instruction and the course. This seminar introduced the participant to the use of Bloom’s Taxonomy11 and Bloom’s action verbs that establish quantifiable learning objectives for all levels of cognitive learning. Participants were asked to create a set of learning objectives for their practice class, share them with a colleague to improve their clarity, and to modify them to increase

The original plan for thisproject was to follow the middle school students in two out of the three counties from the firstproject into high school and examine how their interest in engineering was influenced by theseengineering activities. However, when the pandemic started, the outreach engineering activitiesneeded to be put on hold, and the project was put on pause. The initial approach was to wait itout and see what happened with the state of K-12 education with respect to the pandemic.However, during this time period, there were changes in school administrators, which meant thatany of the existing relationships and partnerships that had been previously established weredisrupted.
