The employer must be willing to provide at least a minimum wage(in Michigan this is currently $7.40 per hour), for that same time frame. Thereby assuring this isa legal employment contract between an employer and employee. Employers are also asked toprovide a job description or work plan for the intern, as well as a brief company profile and signa letter of agreement regarding these terms.

During this first month of the semester, thestudents have a chance to get to know each other and understand the strengths andweaknesses of the other students in the class.

KEEN has established a skillsetnecessary to be a successful entrepreneurially minded engineer. This skill set allows engineers touse their technical competency to always be searching for the best solution that creates the mostvalue for the customer. The skillset is divided into three main categories, known as the three “C”s-Curiosity, Connections, and Creating Value [1]. The establishment of curiosity and creativity inan engineering student is essential in developing “outside of the box” ideas to solve these grandchallenges, but is often undervalued in

This implies that a person could operate within therealms of large comfort zones professionally while having a small comfort zone at a personallevel. In our research, we validate the idea that a person´s personal and professionalrelationship with uncertainty is not directly correlated; rather, they could be considereddifferent comfort zones.Little’s (2005, 2006, 2007) research validates that personally construed action, termedidiogenic action, has the capacity to confront biogenic and sociogenic forces.

The case study was completed in teams of 3-4. TargetEML skills for the activity included the importance of clearly communicating designs, evaluatingcustomer needs, and communication within a group and with the customer.During the first class period of the module, the students travel back in time to the 1980’s wherethey are engineers in Kansas City, Missouri, having a meeting with the management of theCrown Center Redevelopment Corporation (the course instructor, i.e. customer).
