State University, Northridge (CSUN) is alsoincreasing its focus on entrepreneurship. Currently as part of their Master’s program inEngineering Management, a course on entrepreneurship and innovation management ismandatory for all students. The authors of this paper taught this course in Fall 2012 and Fall2013.The primary learning objectives of this course in Fall 2012 were: (i) Understanding how to put together a business plan (ii) Getting an in-depth analysis of identifying a target market (iii) Evaluating intellectual property related to their project (iv) Applying engineering economy concepts such as Rate of Return, Payback period, Sensitivity Analysis and Breakeven point.Keeping in mind the philosophy of

present often was ethics. Weattributed that to a combination of factors. First, many students may have not considered ethicsas a concept that they should include in their concept map because it is not the first thing thatcomes to mind when doing a homework assignment for an engineering class. One other important observation from the Figure 4 map is that moments seem to beisolated from the rest of the concepts. It seems that students struggled to connect moments withthe rest the concepts, perhaps because it is a difficult concept that often gets introduced withoutmuch pretense. An encouraging aspect of this map is that students did do a successful jobgrasping a large majority of the concepts. Finally, in order to ensure the validity of the

This gender difference was present among students in bothdisciplines, keeping in mind that the gender difference in business was larger than the genderdifference in engineering. Generally, these findings are in line with Johnson’s finding on genderdifferences in career values 14.Our analyses of personal characteristic measures suggest that although engineering and businessstudents are similar on many developmental traits that may have traction in helping to explainentrepreneurial behaviors, small differences favoring business students are observed on some ofthese traits, such as innovation orientation, the way they optimize their goals

Either approach should lead to engineering graduates who arestronger adaptive experts.ConclusionThe importance of critical and reflective thinking in the field of engineering cannot be argued.The goal of developing adaptive experts who excel at thinking critically and reflectively is anadmirable and important goal in engineering education. Engineers with training in critical andreflective thinking should be more capable in the increasingly complex, global landscape andwill be more mindful of their impacts on society. While it appears that some individuals are moreprone to be critical and reflective thinkers than others

universities have been introducing cornerstone design courses, using hands-on projects,looking for real-world challenges and problems to meet the many objectives named above.These reflections were deliberately gathered at the end of the first year, as students are decidingon majors, and have the projects most fresh in their minds as influencing their decision. Indeveloping their version of a cornerstone course at McMaster University, it was noted, “Theobjective of the Cornerstone is to instill in first-year engineers enjoyment from learning,motivation to continue learning, and genuine intellectual curiosity about the engineering in theworld around them.” 1 And, from the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden, “The purpose ofcornerstone projects is to

More thorough personality research is needed to clarify thesefindings, but the results point to the idea that EWB-USA members may have an expanded visionof who can do engineering based on their departure from the stereotypical engineeringpopulation.These results also showed that the two groups of engineers had equal intrinsic motivations forengineering, which indicates that despite personality differences, students involved with anEWB-like activity held similar interest for the subject of engineering.

The result was astrong push towards providing both intellectual and physical activities (such as dissection) toanchor the knowledge and practice of engineering in the minds of students12-13.Product dissection was successful in achieving this for several reasons. First, it helps coupleengineering principles with significant visual feedback14 and increase awareness of the designprocess15.
