Interestingly, both engineering and scientificallyfocused industries are expecting both innovative and entrepreneurial skills in their degreedemployees. To meet the need of measuring whether engineering programs are inspiring andcultivating creativity and innovation (a recognized precursor of entrepreneurship,) I designed anengineering creativity and innovation index.
