point scale, thereare two commonly used ways to measure interrater agreement.The first of these is the rWG index developed by James, Demaree and Wolf (1984). Although this method is themore common, it has several drawbacks including scale dependency, the assumption that a uniform distributionmodels perfect disagreement, the need for a distribution to model disagreement, and dependence on the numberof judges (Kozlowski and Hattrup 1992, Brown and Hauenstein 2005). The aWG index developed by Brown andHauenstein corrects for these problems and measures consensus among judges. It calibrates itself according tothe scale and the number of judges. The equation for aWG is: aWG = 1 - 2*Sx2/{[(H+L)*X-X2-(H*L)]*[K/(K-1

becoming increasingly complex across all its branches - from thetraditional civil engineering to the modern computer, space, and genetic engineering. Thecomplexity has increased even more due to a growing interdependence among disciplines andthe emergence of a wide range of new technologies.To manage this situation, engineers whocan keep pace with new technologies and think laterally when developing new applications,and engineers who are creative and capable of abstract thinking are required. It has beenobserved that recent engineering graduates are lacking in these competencies; and thetraditional and still dominant engineering curriculum at most universities, especially indeveloping countries, makes little provision for developing them 1-3

It was decided that no courseor topic was off limits. The objective was to completely revise the IE program and put in place acurriculum that would meet the needs of future graduates.

Analyses related to the demographic characteristics, desired career outcomesand career satisfaction, and pre- and post-graduation undergraduate learning experiences, ofthese alumni were conducted. The research questions guiding this study are: 1) How might engineering alumni be characterized based on their levels of interest in and intention to pursue entrepreneurial activity? 2) What similarities and differences in desired career outcomes, career satisfaction, and undergraduate learning experiences exist among engineering alumni with varying levels of entrepreneurial interest and intention?IntroductionEntrepreneurially-minded alumni are in high demand

to create a thinking culture of exploration and discipline. This segregated thinkingmethod and toolset allows teams and individuals to work together by thinking in parallel. Thefocused sequencing of these thinking styles can prevent adversarial dialog and create anopportunity for the brain to “Maximize its sensitivity in different directions at different times”(de Bono, 1985, p. 1).Western Thinking is concerned with “what is” versus designing forward from parallelpossibilities to create “what can be”. Traditional thinking is also based on rock logic where youestablish dichotomies and contradictions to force a choice based on search and discovery.

and CharacteristicsINTRODUCTIONTechnological innovation and entrepreneurship are widely regarded as key elements to economicgrowth and the creation of new employment. Engineers are often important members, if notleaders, of the teams that make this innovation and entrepreneurship possible. It has become evenmore important for engineering graduates to not only understand business basics, but to be“flexible, resilient, creative, empathetic, and have the ability to recognize and seizeopportunities” 1. To help engineering graduates succeed in this environment, engineering schoolsare creating courses and programs focused on innovation and entrepreneurship, sometimesdrawing from business approaches in doing so 2.In designing these courses and

to provide insight intohow different entrepreneurial skills, knowledge and aptitudes can be building blocks of thedefinition of entrepreneurship. Churchill defined entrepreneurship as the “process of uncovering or developing anopportunity to create value through innovation and seizing that opportunity…” (p . 586)1. Thereare four important elements in this definition. The first element highlights an entrepreneur’sability to uncover an opportunity. Few people would disagree that opportunity recognition is animportant skill of an entrepreneur, and this skill is frequently listed as an indicator ofentrepreneurial ability or intention2,3. However, there is some debate as to whether or not this

Results show that studentscan increase their knowledge of targeted entrepreneurship concepts without diminishment oflearning core engineering concepts. While the case study experience did not significantly changeentrepreneurial career intentions it did grow students’ perceived entrepreneurial self-efficacy (asmeasured by confidence in business skills), which can be a precursor to changing career intent.The case study experience also appealed to a broad spectrum of students with career interestsranging from working for a start-up to working for an established global business.

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.

That person would then take the lead and the rest of the groupwould help out wherever and whenever necessary.
