The key is to keepthe focus on what each student needs to learn and how to integrate the learning experiences inthe three areas using a few carefully-designed projects. Secondly, keeping the desired outcomein mind is crucial: participating students will combine principles and skills developed in the firstcourse with their engineering expertise in the sequel course in Technology Entrepreneurship.

Accordingly, if Europe is toachieve its aspiration to be the most dynamic and knowledge-based economy in the world, thenEuropean Higher Education will need to demonstrate: it takes the quality of its programmes andawards seriously and is willing to put into place the means of assuring and demonstrating thatquality.

Based on the fall 2006 results, there were significant differences in the responses of thefirst-year versus senior design course for only 4 of the 61 questions. The fall 2007 EDWstudents were emailed the survey, and response rates were much lower than in the other twocourses. Therefore, few differences due to gender, EWB participation, or other factors wereevident. The results from this study are preliminary in nature due to the small number of surveyrespondents.
