), humility (pride), kindness (envy), patience (wrath), and temperance (gluttony).The virtues form a bridge between the individual and the community because they regulate howthe individual should behave toward the others in the community. For example, charity andgreed describe how one should treat resources, either sharing them with others or hoarding themfrom others. Chastity and lust describe intimacy between the individual and others, particularlysexual intimacy, though not limited to this aspect.The virtues thus appear to be a valuable tool to explore the relationship of the entrepreneur asindividual and the entrepreneur at the nexus of a community network.

, journals and funded projects. Engineering curricula are crowded, however, and leave little room for new courses. Beginning with the “writing across the curriculum” movement in the 1980’s, the literature reveals that many disciplines have mounted “across the curriculum” movements. These include writing, mathematics, critical thinking, citizenship, ethics and other fields. Given crowded engineering curricula, an “across the curriculum” approach is a logical means to address the need to add entrepreneurial thinking without adding additional courses. Measurement tools are a critical requirement to assess the efficacy or any curriculum intervention. This is especially true when dealing with a new and
