Students and instructors have access to information andinstruction not only from a desktop or laptop computer, but also digital tablets, smart phones, anddedicated readers. However, the form of delivery is not as important as the design of theinstruction. Technology does not automatically improve instruction unless the instructiondelivered through the technology is designed to be better. A number of studies havedemonstrated that the technology alone does not improve students’ learning and has nosignificant impact on student achievement. Researchers insist that these studies are asking thewrong question8. They state

we focus on in this study is skills required for an engineering student to be innovative,what we call innovative design. We describe innovative design as the act of generating novelconcepts, processes, or designs. Innovative design is closely linked to creativity,6 using andimplementing creative ideas to develop something tangible, real, or meaningful in a societalcontext. This type of innovation may be described as incremental, leading to small changes, orradical, leading to a complete rethinking of existing practices and designs, or generating entirelynew concepts altogether.7Innovative design may be broken up into constituent components by identifying what skills ortraits are necessary for being innovative.

Capstone andelective classes typically have a broader focus that provides more flexibility for S-L.What is unique about this effort described in this paper is the integration of S-L into requiredcourses in the core curriculum, so that every student is exposed to the practice, either as arequired or as an optional aspect of the core class.
