pioneers in positioning design as a key contributor toinnovation. These and other creative companies are increasingly emphasizing the importance ofconnecting design to customers’ emotions and needs, and of constructing maps that show thepath to innovation. "Design Innovation" has been likewise identified as an important skill forstudents in science, technology, and engineering disciplines by national organizations like theNational Science Foundation and the National Academy of Engineering. Real-world problems are rarely defined along specific disciplinary lines and innovation oc-curs when those lines are crossed. Biological systems have always been a source of inspirationfor engineers, and many bio-inspired designs (sometimes referred to as

We describe our own “solution.” Page 12.391.2A Bit of HistoryThe computing course was introduced to the engineering curriculum sometime in the late 1950sand early 1960s. If you got your engineering degree before 1965, you probably took a Fortranprogramming class using something like an IBM 1620. You prepared your program on punchedcards and “loaded” the cards along with the operating system components onto the machine.Computing technology dramatically changed over time - from cards to terminals and magnetictapes and from 16 bit machines to 64 bit machines (mainframes).

offinancial and managerial accounting usually required in the business school curricula. Even thesingle combined course offered in some business schools seems too a large price to pay accordingto many engineering faculty. Since the students usually find the accounting material uninterestingand in their view, unimportant, they tend to side with the latter faculty group creating even moreimpetus for the technology driven argument to avoid the topic altogether.Of course, this is a narrow argument, which, if followed, graduates engineering students bereft ofany financial literacy and unable to understand the accounting scorecard in their eventual workorganizations.

This has created an outcry from industry that engineers are not prepared for thepractical applications that define engineering in the “real world”.4Over the last several years, the concept of measuring outcomes has come to the forefront inengineering and has focused learning measurements toward more practical goals. TheAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) now requires engineering collegeprograms to develop class objectives and measures for assessing the level of achievement of thestated goals. These goals must include both technical and social measures of student growth anddevelopment and consequently require newer approaches to instruction. Few students becomeproficient
