2305 - Creativity, Innovation and the New Sciences of Learning:
Implications for Engineering Education
 Dr.
R. Keith Sawyer
Professor of Psychology and Education
Washington University in St. Louis
Dr. R. Keith Sawyer is one of the country’s leading scientific
experts on creativity, innovation and learning. He has published
widely on creativity, learning and play. His previous books include
“Explaining Creativity: The Science of Human Innovation,”
which was featured in Time magazine in January 2006. His seventh
book, “The Cambridge Handbook of the Learning Sciences,”
has just been released.
Dr. Sawyer combines his scientific expertise with a strong hands-on
background in real-world creativity. His experience and educational
research demonstrates the importance of collaboration for successful
innovation and creativity to take hold, not only in corporations,
but also in the classroom – where we first gain our true sense
of play. After receiving his computer science degree from MIT in
1982, he began his career with a two-year stint designing video
games for Atari. His titles included Food Fight, Neon and Magician.
From 1984 to 1990, he was a principal at Kenan Systems Corp., where
he worked as a management consultant on innovative technologies.
His clients included Citicorp, AT&T and U.S. West. Since receiving
his Ph.D. in 1994, he has dedicated his career to research on collaboration
and group creativity. He has been a jazz pianist for over 20 years
and spent several years playing piano with Chicago improv theater
groups.

2305 - University-Industry Partnerships
Strong collaborations and partnerships between U.S. universities
and industry have a long history of playing a major role in high-quality
engineering education and research in the United States. With the
decline in the number of central research labs in industry and the
shortened time horizon for research and development in many private
sector companies, it is important that partnerships between universities
and industry be strengthened. As technology continues to advance
at an accelerating rate and the global environment becomes increasingly
competitive, both industry and academia will benefit from these
stronger partnerships.
From a university perspective, stronger partnerships help attract
high-quality faculty and students, improve the quality of education
that students obtain and enhance the stature and impact of academic
research. From an industrial perspective, stronger partnerships
provide better access to students, the ability to influence the
direction of research and transfer technology for future products
and services that benefit industry. The purpose of this session
is to explore the potential and barriers to stronger university-industry
partnerships, including intellectual property management, and to
review some current initiatives/best practices for removing those
barriers.

 Caroline
Baillie
Professor of Engineering Education and
Materials Engineering
Queens University,
Kingston, Ontario, Canada
Caroline Baillie is the Dupont Canada Chair of Engineering Education
Research and Development at Queens University in Kingston, Ontario.
Her role is to enhance the learning experience of engineering students,

of their disciplines, while maintaining her research and teaching
interests in materials science and engineering. Between May 2000
and 2003, Baillie was senior lecturer in engineering and deputy
director of the UK Centre for Materials Education (UKCME) based
in Liverpool – part of the national Learning and Teaching
Support Network. Her research interests in materials engineering
have developed from a background in composite materials to a focus
on natural sustainable composites for low-cost buildings. She is
also developing an international interdisciplinary network to explore
and promote “Engineering for Social Justice.” She is
particularly interested in ways in which science and engineering
can help to create solutions for the environment as well as social
problems. She has over 100 publications in materials science and
education. Her recent books include “Green Composites,”
(Woodhead) which looks at the production of environmentally friendly
materials, and “Effective Learning and Teaching in Engineering”
(Routledge).
