Consciousness Competency. In the United States entrepreneurial training was starting toget introduced across colleges and universities in the 1970’s. Since then entrepreneurshipeducation and training programs have expanded and been adopted in several more college anduniversity curricula in recent years. It is estimated that 80% of all U.S. colleges and universitiesat present implement such programs [3]. Entrepreneurship for most of the students is a newexperience. The benefits it offers includes the opportunity to acquire new skills and experience,access to knowledge and tools related to establishing and operating companies, decision makingand negotiations, project management and team working and bearing consequences of undesiredoutcomes.

moreholistic design paradigm. Engineering design itself is described as “a creative decision-makingprocess that aims to find an optimal balance of trade-offs in the production of an artifact that bestsatisfies customer and other stakeholder preferences” [1]. Sustainable design only requires thatsustainability principles be incorporated into this complex decision-making process to promoteconsideration of and balance between the economic, environmental, and social systems duringproject development [2]. Describing this innovative approach to design, Skerlos et.al. [1] statesthat sustainable design “brings focus” to the design process, while McLennan [3] describes thatsustainable design “expand[s] the definition of good design to include a wider set of

ASTMstandards for tensile properties of plastics. The model number of extensometer used in the test is634.12E-54.Before the tensile tests, the width and thickness of the center section of each of the specimens aremeasured then entered into the testing program. The tensile specimen is loaded into the testingmachine by attaching the clamps to both ends and the distance between the clamps is measuredand entered into the program. The tensile strain rate applied is 0.2 in/min (0.0847 mm/s). Theprogram records tensile load and elongation, which can be converted to stress – strain curves.Results and discussionThe fractured tensile samples are shown in Figure 1. In general, the samples show brittle fracturedue to relatively small deformation. In order to

Undergraduate Engineering Education – WIPThis work-in-progress investigates the applicability and relevance of Harvard professor HowardGardner’s theory of multiple intelligences (MIs) to undergraduate engineering education.Gardner developed the theory of multiple intelligences in the early 1980’s, initially identifyingseven distinct intelligences (also referred to as learning styles in the MI literature): 1) visual-spacial; 2) bodily-kinesthetic; 3) musical; 4) interpersonal; 5) intrapersonal; 6) linguistic; and 7)logical-mathematical. Subsequent researchers have sought to add to this list (for example,“naturalistic”), but only Gardner’s original seven MIs will be addressed within this investigation.According to
