EDUCATE to Innovate !!!

Learnings from US experiment: 

  

Educate to Innovate (ETI) project was established to “help identify and assess skill sets critical for innovation, and explore best practices for inculcating these in US-based students of engineering, Science, mathematics, and technology.”

The project began with 60 semi structured, open-ended interviews with US innovators. Digital recordings of the interviews were transcribed and qualitatively analyzed to identify attributes common to several innovators. The workshop, held in 2013, at the NAS Building of the National Academies in Washington, DC, brought together 56 innovators and leaders from various fields to share insights on innovation and its education.

What book contains?

a) What Is Innovation? Exploring the Relationship between Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Defining Innovation

b) Skills, Experiences, and Environments that Contribute to Innovation: Analysis of the Interviews, Skills and Attributes, Experiences and Environments
