• Faculty are already incorporating innovative teaching practices
• Few engineering faculty feel that entrepreneurship is important and practiced in their programs … but there are opportunities
• Engineering programs do a good job of interacting with industry, and there are untapped opportunities to interact with other colleagues on campus
• Engineering students are interested in entrepreneurship, but do not necessarily see it as being practiced, discussed, or encouraged in their programs
This helps to situate today’s conversation about what you are seeing and emphasizing in entrepreneurship programs at your campus.

Teaching Innovation Skills & Processes to Engineering StudentsŞenay Purzer ([email protected])
NCIIA March 23, 1012Engineering Students' Definition of InnovationUnderstanding how students define innovation is a critical component necessary as we develop curricula that support student innovation skills. The purpose of this study was to identify engineering students’ understanding of innovation in two ways: 1) by directly asking them to provide their definition of innovation, and 2) by asking them to evaluate the innovative qualities of six products. The participants were 50 first-year engineering students who completed a first-year engineering design course. Students’ completed a series of open-ended questions provided in a word document. These responses were first reviewed to identify emerging patterns and then a detailed coding method was used to categorize students’ responses. Students’ definitions ranged from focusing on feasibility, desirability, and viability as important aspects of innovative design to a focus on originality. These findings from this open-ended survey were used to develop an assessment tool that is easy to administer and score.
• How Does Teaching Support These skills?
• Current:• Open-ended design project: Students identify a
need & develop solutions
• Future:• Reflective journals showing evidence for the use
of 7 innovative thinker’s attributes (associating, questioning, etc.)

• How Do You Know It Is Working?
• Current (research & assessment):• Observations: Teams moving from focusing on “own needs”
to others’ needs• Innovation Metric: Evaluation of ideas generated
• Future (research & assessment):• Correlation: Evidence for the use of innovative thinker’s 7
attributes vs. solution innovation quality• Comparison: Gender, cultural, grade level differences
