On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I would like to welcome you all to the 2016 Canadian Engineering Education Association’s annual conference in Halifax, NS. This year the conference launches with the largest number of workshops yet at a CEEA conference. The topics range from graduate attribute assessment to conducting engineering education research to inspiring kids to love engineering. The workshops are always an engaging learning experience for even the most seasoned engineering educator.

The organizing committee has developed a program that we hope will provide a rich academic and cultural experience. The conference itself kicks off with a

Keynote lecture from Dr. David Wallace, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, MacVicar Faculty Fellow at MIT, whose research and teaching focuses on innovative, socially responsible product design. We then have a diverse and engaging program of paper sessions. The paper sessions have been broken into two themes this year: engineering education research and engineering education practice. While there is still overlap between the two, you will fi nd selected sessions that will focus specifi cally on those topics.

We will also experience some of the best of Halifax with our reception cruise of the Halifax harbour on the Tall Ship Silva and our banquet at the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21, which recently re-opened after an extensive renovation. We hope that you will take time to see some of the many other attractions in, and around, Halifax.

The preparations for this conference started a year ago with input and eff ort from the local organizing committee, CEEA executive, and the Faculty of Engineering, Dalhousie University. I would like to extend a special thanks to my colleagues in the local organizing committee: Sue Iwasaki, Sarah Jane Dooley, Libby Osgood, Michele Hastie, Scott Fleming and Tim Little. I thank you all for your tireless eff ort and dedication to making this the best CEEA conference yet!

DR. DaviD Wallace

Professor david Wallace is a Professor in Mechanical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He earned his Bachelor of Engineering and Bachelor of Industrial Design degrees at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada. He received his S.M, and Ph.D. degrees in Mechanical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1994, and joined the faculty in 1995.

Professor Wallace’s focus, in both research and teaching, is on innovative, socially responsible product design—ranging from computational tools and processes that increase the likelihood of successful innovation, to skills and techniques for designing and improving creativity. Through the application of his unusual background in both engineering and industrial design, Professor Wallace’s goals are to develop new methods that impact upon the practice of product development and to help inspire and equip the next generation of engineering innovators, all while continuing to learn new things and have fun in the process.

titLe: CreatiVity, design, and rigor: foundations for suCCessfuL innoVation

 

aBstraCt:

Innovative product design education relies upon skills that involve creative thinking, domain knowledge, the ability to execute ideas, all while fostering a motivating experience. This presentation outlines ideas, techniques and strategies that can be used in teaching teams—in both research and design contexts—to become more innovative and impactful. The presentation will draw upon both research and experience in teaching several design classes at MIT.
