idiosyncrasies of management orcompany culture, the greatest challenges facing technical organizations are often human ones.The teams had mixed results in dealing with these personnel issues and although the course willbe revised to at least include discussions of these problems, perhaps we can do better service toour students by adding a management course to the coursework.Conclusions:Preparing engineering technology students for the real world is not a simple task. Technical skillpreparation is something that is easily grasped. In the final analysis, each of our project teamswas able to master their tasks and each provided powerful convincing demonstrations of aworking prototype. As educators, we can certainly take pride in the sense of realism that

. Final team presentations aremade to local financial officers, such as bankers, CPA’s, etc., to both motivate highperformance and to have the students gain their first experience interacting with bottom-line,oriented decision makers. Course background materials have credibility because they havebeen evolved with the help of varied representatives of industrial management.IntroductionWhen engineering students enter their final year of study, they often receive heavy exposureto the economic aspects of engineering. Prior to this, and for nearly a decade, they have beenconcentrating on mastering the theories of the sciences they intend to practice, giving verylittle thought to issues of economic justification, which is at the heart of engineering

Entrepreneurship Program is thus a close partnership with the EntrepreneurshipDivision, a relationship formally reflected by the Physics Department appointing Prof.Hisrich as Associate Director of the Physics Entrepreneurship Program. This closecooperation is absolutely essential for the success of the program.When the outlines of the program fell into place in the fall of 1999, we decided toimplement the program as quickly as possible. Several factors allowed us to move veryrapidly. First, since the Physics Department was already authorized to grant a Master ofScience in Physics, we only needed approval for a new track for this existing degree.This was obtained in February 2000. Second, Robert Stieglitz, who had beeninstrumental both in helping to

This ability to feel forces andmoments must be mastered prior to recognizing interactions between connected bodies and/orwithin bodies.

. Traditional lecture formatteaching methods sometimes fall short of conveying the complex analysis and design principlesthat need to be mastered in structural design. However when the theories are exemplified in avirtual environment with multimedia, animation, interaction, and manipulated imagevisualization techniques in a virtual reality environment, students' conceptual understanding areenhanced. The important advantages of the virtual reality environment over other computer-based design tools are that it enables the user to interact with the simulation to conceptualizerelations that are not apparent from a less dynamic representation, and to visualize models thatare difficult to understand in other ways.
