There have been a number ofstudies of the engineering profession and its discourse. The public perception of theengineering profession has long been problematic. Surveys conducted, in the United States,by the National Academy of Engineering13 showed that the engineering profession in the1980’s lacked identity, and that many people could not distinguish between engineers,technicians and scientists. These public attitudes

Thesecond study, conducted by Korte et al. in 2008, looked at 17 new engineers at a large,international car manufacturer which they termed Big Car Company. Like Polach, they showedthat new engineers in this organization relied heavily on coworkers for help and that anunderstanding of the larger organization was crucial to the understanding of their own day-to-daywork.6 Viewing these findings in terms of supports and barriers, high-quality relationships withcoworkers and an understanding of “the big picture”6 could be considered supports for newengineers while the lack of either could be considered barriers. This paper applies the samesupport/barrier framework to Korte et al.’s original data set, consisting of interviews with 59 newengineers at four

defined self-regulated learningas “learning that results from students‟ self-generated thoughts and behaviors that aresystematically oriented toward the attainment of their learning goals” (p. 125). In addition,Bandura9 showed that self-efficacy beliefs impact performance because these beliefs representpeople‟s perception of their capabilities to perform a task at designated levels. These researchershave provided empirical data on causal or correlational relationships between self-efficacy andepistemic beliefs and self-regulated behaviors and performance in subjects such as mathematics5,10 .During problem solving, students assess the difficulty of the task while disambiguating theimportant from irrelevant information.

, journals and funded projects. Engineering curricula are crowded, however, and leave little room for new courses. Beginning with the “writing across the curriculum” movement in the 1980’s, the literature reveals that many disciplines have mounted “across the curriculum” movements. These include writing, mathematics, critical thinking, citizenship, ethics and other fields. Given crowded engineering curricula, an “across the curriculum” approach is a logical means to address the need to add entrepreneurial thinking without adding additional courses. Measurement tools are a critical requirement to assess the efficacy or any curriculum intervention. This is especially true when dealing with a new and

), which was built at the Langley Laboratory in 1921-1923. This was the first wind tunnel Page 15.594.3that could operate at pressures higher than atmospheric, which allowed higher Reynolds numbersto be achieved at lower velocities. By the 1940’s supersonic wind tunnels were in use, eventhough Chuck Yeager had not yet broken the sound barrier. In 1972 a cryogenic wind tunnel wasbuilt at NASA Langley by injecting liquid nitrogen into the wind tunnel to cool the gas. Thislowered the viscosity and increased the Reynolds number, and this tunnel had the capability tomatch Reynolds and Mach numbers simultaneously up to Mach 1.2. Today the largest
