Entrepreneurship & Engineering Innovation

Knoxville initiated the innovative dual degreeprogram in the fall of 2001. Its focus is to integrate the skills and knowledge of studentsstudying both engineering and business, and to direct those skills to product development. Itpermits students, in 23 months, to obtain a Master of Business Administration [MBA] degree anda Master of Science [MS] degree in an engineering discipline. It is expected that, by thecompletion of the program, student teams will have developed a concept, a business plan, amarketing plan and a prototype for a marketable product. The vision of the MS-MBA dualdegree is not merely to allow students to receive two graduate degrees in a compressed timeframe, but to tightly integrate the two degrees, so that multidisciplinary

The mission of this WeekendMaster's Degree Program is to develop innovators and leaders in technology. The program wasdesigned to allow students with two or more years of professional experience to continue theireducation while working full-time. This is accomplished by combining distance education with aseries of three on-campus sessions offered on weekends each semester. The on-campusweekends include both traditional lectures and student

Joseph Lowman in Mastering the Techniques of Teaching, statesthat “college classrooms are fundamentally dramatic arenas in which the teacher is the focalpoint, like the actor or orator on stage” 2. What better way to break the monotony of informationtransfer than a good story. Papadimitriou has recognized three main ways of using storytelling inthe teaching of a technical subject: (a) providing historical/biographical context to a subject, (b)illustrating a concept by a story, and (c) embedding educational material into a story 3. Thispaper provides examples of storytelling in a Materials Science class and student reactions to theclass.

(Davis & Braun, 2010; Eide & Eide, 2011) have found that children with dyslexiareason differently with respect to language from students who do not have dyslexia. They havefurther discovered that dyslexic students’ brains process information differently with respect tolanguage than do students without dyslexia. These brain differences have been identified andhave resulted in the development of pedagogical techniques that are designed to support dyslexicstudents as they master language (Shaywitz, 2003).Some researchers speculate that these brain differences, which result in challenges to languagedevelopment, provide dyslexic students with an advantage in science.

The more the projects offered, the fewer student groups there are per facultyguide. We found that a faculty member can guide a maximum of three groups doing the sameproject while maintaining his or her normal work schedule; although one or two groups is ideal.Since the level of involvement on the faculty's part is minimal, faculty willingness was not aproblem at this point. Of course, some direct solicitation was necessary to achieve the desirednumber of projects.
