Theinstructions are:“Find an engineered product that you like or dislike to show to the class (unless the product istoo large to bring, then it should be easily described, or bring a picture). Review the feature(s) ofits design that you like or dislike. Briefly describe on paper this design feature and why it is sodesirable or so undesirable. Draw a sketch of an improved product. Hand

Our university identified this early in time and initiated the Wright STEPP in Page 11.293.21988 to provide academic enrichment and tuition scholarship to students of the city publicschools who are scholarly, but have financial problems. Wright STEPP targets all 7th through10th grade students in the city public schools. Forty students from the 7th grade are selected eachyear with a minor replacement at the higher grades. Every year, 160 students (40 from eachgrade 7th - 10th) attend this four-week program that operates at our university campus. Thisprogram is in accord with the American Competitiveness and Workforce

Many ofthe responses were Neutral and one survey had a written response of N/A with respect to the oneof the third party questions. It is believed that many of the “Neutral” answers may have been “Idon’t know what the other two did when they were working in a two-way interaction.”Therefore, it is recommended that a sixth response category be added to the survey to allowstudents to answer “no observation” or “don’t know”.

Topics that have been addressed include troubleshooting teaching, working with student project teams, dealing with fund ing agencies, and the most popular one, writing effective NSF CAREER grant proposals. The average attendance is between ten and twenty. One of the principal reasons for initiating the workshop was new faculty dissatisfactionwith the orientation they received following their arrival at N.C. State.

: Distinguishing Itself from Other FieldsNot only does some of the literature on entrepreneurs distinguish them from others in business,the field of entrepreneurial studies has sought to identify itself as different from mainstreambusiness studies, even though similarities exist. We see this distinction as another reason forcreating ethical studies for entrepreneurial education. Higher education has allocated a greatmany resources towards keeping up with changing business trends: growing, modifying andcustomizing curriculum to better prepare graduates to compete in the ever evolving economiclandscape. In the mid 1990’s entrepreneurship education was born. Over the last decade it hasbecome one of the fastest growing fields of study available to students
