There are strong evidences form the literature that including the soft skillssuch as management, entrepreneurship and leadership can boost the retention and enrollment inengineering programs. Entrepreneurship education has been found to boost GPA and retentionrates of the engineering students, provides the students with the skills and attitudes needed toinnovatively contribute to the existing organizations and pursue their own ventures, and has thepotential to address current and anticipated workforce demands. We strongly believe that byintegrating entrepreneurship into engineering courses, specifically in the ones that are

The homes in Figures 3(m), (n), and especially (q) and (r) werebuilt into the ground to make an Earthen home. This also increases the efficiency of the home byadding insulation to the home’s walls and reducing the rate of heat transfer through the walls.The home in Figure 3(m) and (n) also featured a large rainwater collection system. The homes inFigures 3(a), (b), (g), (h), (i), (j), (k), (l), (m), (n), (s), and (t) all incorporated a PV system.Considering that solar photovoltaics is a major portion of the course, and students gainsignificant lab experience working with PV system components, it is not surprising that moststudents incorporate

Students will use the software tosolidify their knowledge and visualize some of the abstract phenomena which are not possible tosee.The faculty involved will collect data on all three courses and use that data in the continuousimprovement process for the courses.Bibliography[1] B.
