Our industry is in dire need of an engineering workforce that can master/leadthis process.Tomorrow’s engineering leader will need to combine deep knowledge of a particular fieldwith the breadth to place it in context. They will need to collaborate with many otherindustries as well as with colleagues whose perspectives are shaped by radically differentexperiences. They will need to understand systems, cultural, societal, and political forces.Tomorrow’s engineer will also need to tackle complex problems, and be thoughtful aboutthe lifecycles of their work and production.

Engineering Education, 2014 The Design of a Graduate Level Course in Entrepreneurial OwnershipThe IssueDuring the past two decades, small businesses provided 60-80% of the net new jobs in theUnited States economy and were responsible for the commercialization of radical newtechnologies that are transforming the way we live. The University of Michigan Master ofEntrepreneurship (MsE) gives students the ability to create new technology-focused ventures,either as standalone entities or within established innovative organizations.In the Entrepreneurial Ownership course students formulate skills to become effectiveentrepreneurial managers, including how to appreciate and act on the difference
to use them, but were not graded on their use.The second measure is the students’ self-evaluation, specifically their own perception as digitaldesigners. 100% of the respondents agreed or strongly agreed that the course had helped thembecome better digital designers.ConclusionsWe have presented a proposal to adopt and adapt some ideas from the field of software designpatterns to digital logic design teaching. In particular, we believe that the top-down designmethodology, as traditionally taught, is hard for students to master because it is too unstructured.The top-down flow seems to students to be open-ended, because often they do not know how thedesign problem should be partitioned.

The un-dergraduate and graduate versions of the courses are very similar in their core contents(since the undergraduate course is not pre-requisite for the graduate one), differing mainlyon the applied research project (only performed at graduate level), advanced topics presentedby students (topics and depth vary according

Commercial instrumentation is included in a "master pod" and is used to determine the accuracy of the student data. • The teams sharing a pod must work together on final packaging. Batteries are particularly vulnerable to low temperatures and insulation is critical. Likewise, g-forces can be severe in wind shifts, so pods must be securely tethered together. • All instrumentation is ground tested before the launch and any instrument that isn't working doesn't fly.

teaching is the way of future education. It matches student learning needs andeases the efforts of professors. While the idea of creating video teaching files may seemoverwhelming, Camtasia has made it relatively easy and inexpensive to make professional-appearing videos that greatly enhance student learning and maximize a professor’s time andeffort. It is the solution to the increasing constraints of time, lack of support staff, and the ever-present need to address student learning styles. Online video teaching technology is indeed theway to teach the new generation.Bibliography1. www.techsmith.comBiographical InformationWARREN LEWIS received a Master of Science degree in Manufacturing Engineering Technology from theUniversity of Southern
