students and working with them in many very practical applications. This also helps to instill an entrepreneurial mindset along with a sense of urgency. • Out reach is important. There is constant and tenacious work at OIT to develop a strong thrust among the faculty that outreach is very important and should be an ongoing agenda just like class room presentations. OIT-MMET faculty work hard at maintaining regularly scheduled brainstorming sessions with industry partners. • OIT places over 92% of its graduating MMET class each year.Upon reflecting on some of the benefits that the MMET department at OIT has seen in less thansix months, it is evident that there has been an energetic injection of new ideas

UnitedStates is not growing at the rate of other countries. This continuing trend does not bodewell for the future domestic economy or future opportunities for technology students. Anincrease of entrepreneurial activities is one possible solution to the reversal of this trend.Technology students need to become more versed in the use of Design for Six Sigmatechniques used to develop new innovative ideas in addition to the use of non traditionaltechnology areas such as lead user methodology. Development of classroom techniquesand programs where these fundamentals are transferred is of the utmost importance tofuture opportunities for the current technology student in the future global economy.Educational goals include providing the students with the

There eight competencies arecreativity, entrepreneurial thinking, problem solving, conflict solving, decision making,analytical skills, research skills, and efficiency orientation. Although these authors claimed thatthey surveyed high qualified managers in transnational Automotive and Pharmaceuticalcompanies, it appears that their final categories of competencies are still based on traditional skillmodel proposed by Katz [23] with attention paid to new technology.From the perspective of employees, Hecklau, et al. [24] conducted a systematic review andexamined the impact of future technologies and ongoing digitization on the employees’competencies. Extracting main themes from 12 studies on
