, and the impact of this environment on student development.For this paper, we focus on engineering students enrolled in business-related concentrations,minors, or certificates, and explore the similarities and differences between business-interestedengineering students and their peers. Technological innovation and entrepreneurship arebecoming increasingly important for preparing students for the workforce, and many engineeringschools are introducing entrepreneurship and business education into coursework. What do thesenew programmatic opportunities look like? Which type of student is most likely to takeadvantage of these new opportunities? What are possible outcomes of these opportunities? In aneffort to understand the effectiveness of

This research aligns with the extensive literature review that informed the design ofPathways, which emphasized the importance of a peer network in the design of an effectivefaculty development program2. Drawing upon research on community networks within acollective impact framework3,4, the authors hypothesize that the Pathways initiative, which“…involv[es] a centralized infrastructure, a dedicated staff, and a structured process that leads toa common agenda, shared measurement, continuous communication, and mutually reinforcingactivities among all participants” (p

them into the Blackboard learningmanagement system (LMS).Implementation FrameworkAt the Tagliatela College of Engineering, modules are integrated into courses using a flippedclassroom model. In each course, content is delivered via a short e-learning module outside theclass, and student learning is improved by reinforcing the content covered in the module throughclass discussions and contextual activities. The overall integration has the four main componentsshown in Figure 1. Students complete the e-learning module outside the class within two weeks.During the second week, students are asked to participate in an online or in class discussion. Thediscussion questions enable students to learn through peer and/or instructor interaction

These milestone reviews occur at the Project Pitch, Concept Selection, Pre-build, and Working Prototype stages within the design process. The final review will be done inan expo format with faculty and industrial advisors. At the expo, students will present a posterand demonstrate their working prototypes. Less formal reviews occur throughout the semesterand other summative assessments include reading quizzes, frequent update meetings withinstructors, a project binder that documents the entire development process, and an e-portfolio onInnovation Portal (www.innovationportal.org).

Write down what the enchanted object does in the story. Write down how those features would be useful in real life. How can you create a real world object that has those same functions using technology, computer science, and engineering? Using the tools that you have available to you such as the litteBits, Legos, paper, markers, etc try to create a prototype or your own working version of this enchanted object so that you can demonstrate how such works to people. Once you have done such create a video telling people what your object does

Each group was also tasked with producing a marketing poster for theirproject to highlight their problem and solution. The students were given freedom as to thespecific content and layout of the poster, so long as it effectively advertised their solution. Theposters were hung throughout the engineering building so the general student population couldperuse what their peers had come up with and the students in the class could be proud of theirachievements. Three projects were presented during each section, and the students in the sectionvoted on the top project from each session. From this, 13 projects plus two

the class results of previous classes completing thecourse without the role play indicates that this special didactical element helped the student todevelop arguments in their final papers which show some strategic empathy. In the finalassignment students had the task to write a paper and to discuss two aspects. First, they had todevelop reasons and arguments about ordinary customers and their environmental behavior anddecision making. This prepared for developing the second aspect: “Please devise political meansfor changing the habits and taken-for-granted normalcy of customers.” In comparison to previousclasses, the students of the 2014 and 2015 classes were better prepared on average to think aboutthe reasons and motives of customers.
