摘要:The phrase "Innovation Agenda" is being widely used these days to describe a broadly perceived problem in Canada - namely, that the nation as a whole may be lagging our peers around the world, despite having a highly educated workforce and various other favourable conditions. The bulk of the public discussiona bout innovation is taking place in organizations andvenues that connect business and government; engineering as a discipline is notably absent in these discussions. The purpose of this presentation is to describe recent public reports and analyses related to innovation and to prompt a discussion of how engineers might participate more visibly in these processes and what implications there might be for curriculum design.
