Graduates of this program will bewell prepared to pursue various career paths outside of academia, but in particular, their careerprogression may proceed in the technical and/or business direction with an emphasis onentrepreneurship for small start-up firms or intrapreneurship for existing, well-establishedcompanies.By working in a team environment and solving realistic industrial-relevant problems, thestudents will be engaged in a first class educational experience dedicated to productdevelopment. It is this real world experience that is probably the most important attribute of thecombined MS-MBA curriculum, as

The following year, Mr Vanelli put his doctoral work on hold to focuson his role as president, Mr. Evans, now Dr. Evans, chose to resign and complete his degree,maintaining an advisory role.From a certain perspective, doctoral students are always entrepreneurial as they lead their ownresearch contributions, sell their vision to their faculty committees and create new knowledge. Intheir careers, whether they are successful faculty members, involved in business development,work with large companies, perform research or engage in management, there will be elementsof entrepreneurship.

In an article about de-industrialization and its effect on engineering education,Wei (2005) remarked that, “research and development in manufacturing companies used to beviewed as a glamorous career for the brightest engineering graduates, but the number ofattractive job offers has been declining for many years” (p.130).

How clear are the three EM frameworks, measured by challenges identified when attempting to utilize ambiguous or overly-specific EM learning objectives when measuring the EM content of courses?To answer these questions, three curricula were identified: first-year engineering laboratorycoursework, a third-year technical project designed with EM in mind, and a multidisciplinarysenior capstone course. These courses were chosen to span the entire career of an engineeringstudent, from first-year to senior capstone, to give a more complete dataset. Each curriculumthen

This first of EM’s three C’s isalso recognized more broadly as a key attribute; for example, in “Curious” by Leslie, oncedemographic factors are accounted for, it is curiosity and conscientiousness that are correlatedwith student success [2].Closely linked to curiosity, motivation helps describe students’ intention to realize this curiosity.There are a number of lenses through which to view both curiosity and motivation.
