These reports reveal several broadthemes of educational need developing across these industrial segments: a) Integrating technical and non-technical broad knowledge areas. b) Integrating multidisciplinary technical skills into a comprehensive knowledge base. c) Integrating global perspectives into local decision making. d) Integrating soft skill set development with traditional technical education.It is our

Alfredo knew in high school that he wantedto be an engineer through the help of his guidance counselor and ASU (SHPE) students whowent to visit his school in Yuma, Arizona (3.5-hour drive from the university). He had alwaysbeen good in math and science and had done some research at the library about robotics.Scholarships from ASU and the MEP SBP helped make sure that ASU was the university heattended.Isabel

the entrepreneurial ideas primarily come from the “Need-Approach-Benefits-Competition” or NABC approach espoused by Carlson and Wilmot.1 The successes and failuresof the approaches are discussed. Examples are provided to illustrate how these ideas have beenused to enhance the undergraduate learning experience. Since the university has a strongautomotive focus, many of the examples cited pertain to that industry, but the concepts can beeasily applied to other fields such as aerospace, power production, and alternative energy.In addition to enhancing undergraduate education, there are significant other benefits to thisapproach. For students, these ideas can be much more engaging than traditional classroommaterial and the exposure to the ideas

In his treatise on Ethics, Aristotleconcluded “activity in a certain thing gives a man that character … dispositions are attainedthrough actually doing things (250 BC)1.” In other words, students gain such skills through thepractice of doing things. The authors investigated how unstructured “open” exercises (a uniqueapproach to learning using unstructured, multidisciplinary assignments) helped students cementtheir knowledge of concepts in Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, and Heat Transfer. AThermo-fluids laboratory course required for Senior and Junior Aerospace and MechanicalEngineering students was selected for this study. Students were asked to provide their
