Additionally, we discuss how a PjBL program, such as IRE, can provide opportunitiesfor students to learn and practice professional skills in the context of their team projects.2- IRE ProgramAn innovative model for engineering education, called Iron Range Engineering (IRE), has beenestablished in northeastern Minnesota since January 2010. The program is a result ofcollaboration between Itasca Community College and Minnesota State University, Mankato. TheIRE model is a PjBL program where

The second deliverablewas a project plan and was placed in a Gantt chart form (using Microsoft Project 2010 software).The last deliverable of the Define phase which is to document lessons learned should also becompleted at the end of the other four phases in the DMAIC or DMADV methodology. Thisforces students to stop and learn from the phase they just completed in order to improve theirproject management skills for the next phase. The class deliverables for the Define phase, whichare summarized in Table 3, were due during the third week of the class. Deliverable Description Project Charter

attributes most sought after by end users (2010).The application needs determine the actual size of the network. The application can vary from asingle sensor node to multiple sensor nodes. Again, the size of each sensor node can vary from alarge box to a microscopically small particle. Most of these tiny nodes developed by labs haveyet to be deployed in any application. However, these microscopically small particle-sized sensornodes have the potential to be used in a number of military applications.5.

At its mostfundamental level, the purpose of the circuit is to maintain the CCB at the desired temperatureusing two 50W AC heater elements. As shown in the diagram, there are four hardwaredebounced switches to allow the user to increase the desired temperature or time, decrease thesevalues, display system status or reset the system. There is also a sensor to determine if the CCBlid is ajar or off. The system will not heat when the lid is not properly in place.

knowledgerequired to develop a business plan for a new venture, and 2) provide a foundation for betterunderstanding the value and relevance of entrepreneurial knowledge and skills increasinglybeing delivered to engineering students.IntroductionIn order to equip engineering students with the skills they need to succeed in today’s turbulenteconomy, engineering programs are increasingly offering some form of entrepreneurship trainingto their students (Shartrand, Weilerstein, Besterfield-Sacre, & Golding, 2010). Onecharacteristic of entrepreneurship education is that it often comprises experiential learningactivities which are designed to increase students’ proficiency in entrepreneurship (Solomon,Duffy, & Tarabishy, 2002). In some cases, these
educational attainment is between 11 and12%. The societal benefits of higher learning have been well established2-6. Engineeringeducation improves significantly on this benefit. The economic value of an engineering degree isranked highest in Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce recentpublication7, “What’s it worth? The Economic Value of College Majors”. In addition, the valueof a graduate engineering degree is 32% more than the undergraduate degree.According to the US Census Bureau’s 2005-2009 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-Yearestimates, the national mean percentage of full-time employed workers (age > 16) workingwithin the Architecture and Engineering (A&E) sector is 2.37%.
