entrepreneurial ecosystem (Fetters,2010; Bastian,2018). The concept of auniversity-based entrepreneurial ecosystem is developing continuously. Dunn (2005) firstproposed the concept of university-based entrepreneurship ecosystem based on MIT, andbelieved that students can utilize a wide range of entrepreneurship related resources in thisMIT ecosystem from the generation of ideas to the establishment of companies. Candida(2014) believes that the university-based entrepreneurial ecosystem is a unified wholeconstructed from stakeholders, infrastructure, resources and culture in the three fields ofentrepreneurship curriculum, entrepreneurship activities and entrepreneurship research. Itpromotes the development of entrepreneurship education in university by

2018This semester has a total of 16 A’s for the group grade and 15 A’s for the individual grade,meaning that more students contributed equally in their groups. There are no grades lower than aC this semester, both with the group and individual grades. The reason for this improvement ingrade distribution from the Spring 2018 semester most likely relates to the lecture timing in thecurriculum as well as emphasizing the importance of the peer evaluation during the assignmentdate. These factors will be taken into consideration during the Spring 2019 analysis. Overall,more students received A’s and B’s in the Fall 2018 semester than the Spring 2018 semesterbecause of the improvement to the lecture content.The questionnaire is an ungraded assignment
. Class observation is paramount tocontrast what professors plan to do, what they actually do, and what students perceive or learn. Inthis regard, 68% of the faculty members surveyed are willing to be observed in class and receivefeedback from these observations in order to improve their practice. In addition, future researchwill also involve the development of a set of faculty competencies in order to align training efforts.REFERENCES[1] J. H. G. Zamora and A. B.

experiences with the transition of our engineering technology programsto engineering programs, because we found very little guidance from the literature for either ac-crediting new programs [1-2] or transitioning from engineering technology to engineering [3].Therefore, we relied on anecdotal information through personal connections with acquaintances atprograms that either transitioned engineering technology programs to engineering programs oradded engineering programs to engineering technology programs and our own efforts. This paperbriefly explains the engineering technology programs’ history leading up to the transition to engi-neering programs. It then explains why we believed that transitioning to engineering programswas the right decision for
