year, the employment situation has been extremely severe. In 1998, theAction Plan for Revitalizing Education for the 21st Century proposed the development ofentrepreneurship education in colleges and universities. In the following two decades, thecountry has successively introduced dozens of policies and regulations for the promotion ofentrepreneurship education, and the strategic trend of entrepreneurship education hasgradually taken shape. “Innovative and Entrepreneurship Education” is a new conceptformally used in the Ministry of Education documents in 2010.

Students completed mostof the work out of class – only four lectures (out of 45) were dedicated to in-class time for theproject.To make space in the lecture schedule (compared to prior offerings of the course where there wasno ideation project) some course content was provided offline. Technical content for the courseis roughly 40% anatomy and physiology and 60% mechanics. For the Fall 2015 offering of thecourse

The most successful projectswill be selected for an additional semester of business development incubation. However, it wasquickly recognized that students needed access to experienced mentors who could guide andteach them as they transitioned through the E4 process.

It is a challenge, therefore, to gain theinvolvement of students in social entrepreneurship efforts where the reward (grade, payor recognition) is not immediate or minimal and the trade-off (time management for theirschedule) may be more fun or financially rewarding. This paper discusses the evolutionfor the process of enlisting student involvement in two distinct social entrepreneurshipprograms at our university.The first program involves linking university skill sets in the arts, digital media,technology and project management to the planning, implementation and

Advancing Engineering Education through Technology Driven Teaching InnovationsAbstractWith the proliferation of technologies that are able to overcome the obstacles of time and space,it is inevitable that change would transform and reshape the traditional ways of doing things. Inhigher education, the impact of educational technologies and their potential to enhance theteaching and learning experiences as well as improve learning outcomes is yet to be felt in anytangible way. This is mainly attributed to the lack of motivation by faculty to utilize newtechnologies in their classrooms. To further motivate faculty to introduce and integrate digitaltechnologies into the classroom as teaching aids, a comprehensive plan was

That is: scale-up is(usually) possible but requires careful planning and “watching the dials and turning the knobs”on the first series of runs. Our first class sequence is a bench design, our second class sequenceis a small pilot and third year will be a full pilot plant with subsequent years scaling to fullproduction. Even then, we will have start-up issues and fine tuning to deal with as we continueto iteratively improve – watching the dials and turning the knobs as necessary.By using the “pilot approach,” and managing the specific changes made to
