have a greater level of confidence (and certainty) in assessing them. Third,unlike “hard” skills (e.g., thermodynamics) which are taught primarily through coursework,professional skills (e.g., ethics and teamwork) are likely to be acquired or influences both insideand outside of the class room. In addition, their acquisition may be enhanced throughexperiential learning and activities such as internships, coops, service learning and study abroadprograms.

This cluster focuses ondeveloping the business skills required to create, develop, and manage entrepreneurialcompanies. Some of the skills taught include opportunity recognition, resource acquisition,marketing, finance, and new product development. Furthermore, students will have theopportunity to select coursework which will enable them to become more familiar with the legaland ethical aspects of owning and managing a small business.

OutcomesUpon the completion of this project, students certainly gained some knowledge related to circuitdesign and collaborated with each other working toward a common goal. In addition, it can beclaimed that the project activity supports the following students outcomes set by ABET: (a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering; (b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data; (c) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability; (d) an ability to function on

although not free of frustrations. Faculty also observed the pedagogicalvalue of collaborative projects but there was no consensus as to if or how much extra work isrequired to administer them.1- IntroductionCapstone design projects, being the culminating experience of a typical four year engineeringcurriculum, present an opportunity to reinforce a number of critical soft skills that are deemedimportant in professional engineering practice. Such soft skills are outlined by the EngineeringCriteria of ABET1 relating to communications, teamwork, ethical responsibilities, contextualunderstanding, among others. A more extensive list of student outcomes, presented by the KernEntrepreneurship Education Network (KEEN), is aimed at fostering an

exogenous constructs impacting students’ pursuit of entrepreneurship minorPossession of the entrepreneurial mindset is perhaps the ultimate exogenous factor that mayinfluence students’ intention to minor in entrepreneurship. Kriewall11 organized a panel sessionat the annual meeting of the National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance with theintention of discussing the “defining characteristics of entrepreneurial engineers.” The panelidentified eleven attributes they felt were necessary for entrepreneurial engineers: “…integrity, tenacity, ethics, creativity, intuition, a deep knowledge of engineering fundamentals, the ability to engineer products for commercialization, a penchant for lifelong learning, an ability to

As part of thecourse, towards the end the class a feature film is shown with a storyline emphasizing some ofthe critical issues highlighted in the course. In the last edition it was “The Man in the WhiteSuit,” a 1951 film emphasizing creativity and ethics in the product development activities. In addition, in the recent offering of the course students were encouraged to create theirown videos and also provided with a rudimentary instruction

The curricular review assumed that future leaders and innovators will need abroad technical foundation with opportunities to gain competency in design (disciplinary andmultidisciplinary), real-world problem-solving, communication, ethics and professionalism,global and multicultural understanding, innovation and entrepreneurship, teamwork, computing

computing onsome fields might still be in its infancy.Like engineering, computing is a very creative process involving innovative design that isconditioned by business, economic, social, political, ethical, and technical constraints1,3 generallywithin the setting of a team structure. Therefore, one could conclude that the computingprofessional should at least be educated and trained on a comparable level as the future engineer. Page 24.1177.3One way to ensure that computing professionals are sufficiently well educated and trained inbusiness and economics is to expose them to entrepreneurship education and training in thecontext of teamwork
