Enhancing Innovation Education at WPI: Faculty Workshops and New Curriculum Initiatives

In May 2008, Curt Carlson, CEO of SRI, trained 20 faculty members at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in the NABC (Need, Approach, Benefits, and Competition) method to develop effective value propositions for integrating innovation into undergraduate and graduate courses. Supported by a KEEN Foundation grant, WPI has introduced innovative educational delivery methods, focusing on sustainability, robotics, materials science, and entrepreneurship. Faculty workshops and new course offerings are designed to enrich the learning experience, exemplifying WPI's commitment to fostering an innovative educational environment.
