Innovative Conceptual Engineering Design (ICED) is a proposed methodology for infusing creative problem solving and innovation within a team-oriented, problem-based learning program. Implementation of the ICED methodology in this specific program attempts to solve several critical problems facing science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education and STEM-related careers in the US such as: the decline in enrollment and achievement in STEM degrees and careers and the early attrition of undergraduate students from STEM programs of study. The ICED program is an integrated approach to teaching basic engineering concepts and problem solving techniques focused on solving real-world, epic challenges facing society. These complex, multidisciplinary challenges provide the inspiration and integrated curriculum for multiple years of study. Results are presented for several instances of ICED courses ranging from high-school to young practicing engineer focused on space exploration challenges currently facing NASA.Proceedings of the 9th International CDIO Conference, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Cambridge, Massachusetts, June 9 – 13, 2013.
