The expectation is thatLafayette’s engineers have a better sense of the social, political, ethical, economic,and environmental consequences of technology. Due to the strict requirements ofABET accreditation, the intended values of a liberal arts education are not alwaysinstilled in the courses within the engineering curriculum. Extending its education Page 12.843.3beyond coursework, the college prides itself as a national leader in self-directedintensive research with faculty monitoring. Upon graduation, Lafayette’sengineering students occupy leadership positions in many of

unacceptable score of 2 on the Likert scale: Disagree.Three categories have attained this level. 1. Address Societal and Global Issues. 2. Ethical and Social Responsibilities. 3. Concepts of Critical Thinking.It is very disappointing that the students are unable to secure a good grasp of these importantaspects. These are not adequate and the instructor has to improve these, initially to a level ofatleast 3. Eventually this should improve to 4 and ultimately to the maximum possible scoreof 5 on likert scale.Conclusions and Continuous Improvement The author would like to conclude that the implementation of Discovery Approach requireslot of effort both from the instructor as well as the learner.

Whileprevious work sets the stage for the difficult to define and even more difficult to measure conceptof character, the author proposes that the leader of today, like the 21st Century college student isa different individual from the leader of the past62. The current work extends on previous workconcerning a character shift in society and proposes that unique character type has an impact onthe emerging survival for the entrepreneurial leader.

The skills associated with theentrepreneurial mindset are communication, teamwork, leadership, ethics and ethical decision-making, opportunity recognition, persistence, creativity, innovation, tolerance for ambiguity, riskanalysis, creative problem solving, critical thinking, and business skills (including marketing,financial analysis, and strategic planning).1, 2, 3

Did the virtual setting present an opportunity to reach a broader community?BackgroundEngineering education has experienced transitions before, often during large cultural shifts. Afterthe Second World War there was a significant transition in STEM curricula toward scientificintegration [3]. In the early 2000s the change in ABET requirements for ethics created anothersea change in engineering curricula [4]. The increase in active learning and evidence-basedinstructional practices has started a slower change in engineering education during the last 20years.Another example of

Five of the participants reported that their team hadnot been “in sync.” Two other participants reported that their teams were split on whether tolaunch their project as a startup. As one participant reported, their team’s dynamics started on theright path but did not go as well toward the end of the project. The goal, he said, was to get thegrade and not to pursue the project. As another participant put it, his assigned team had noguarantee of a common work ethic or a common vision.A third factor involves lack of passion for the project. These results were aggregated into the“not among students’ main goals” factor in Fig. 1 but are striking enough to merit

The students were all chosen by thefaculty based on their high competence in their respective major, creative spark, work ethic, andthe ability to work in teams. Thus, the students were uniformly good to excellent.We used these criteria for selecting students for several reasons. Firstly, we did not want tospend time on material that was domain specific (there was an exception to this, as noted later),and we wanted students who could complete reasonable tasks in their discipline. Secondly, wewanted to concentrate on design in the context of product development to encourage creative,entrepreneurial thinking. This is possible only when students have acquired reasonablecompetence in their field of

The importance of understanding risk andliability, of continuous professional development including licensure, and of ethics inengineering practice, all of which are relevant concepts for an entrepreneurial approach toengineering, have been stressed. Historically, senior projects that have led to longer-termstudent-private sector collaborations or even student-initiated business have been rare.Recently, entrepreneurship at Pitt-Johnstown has experienced a revitalization. A renewed pushto create an Entrepreneurial Studies program came from Pitt-Johnstown President Jem Spectar in2011.

In using the Product ArchaeologyCanvas, students must “excavate” public information on all of these factors for an over-the-counter medical device. Like an archaeologist, they needed to create a plausible and coherentnarrative of the decisions the company made in moving that product idea to the customer. Withthis background they become forward-thinking intrapreneurs – proposing a way to increase thevalue of their product but in a way that balanced all of the various constraints and perspectives.

goal was to prepare graduates forengineering practice by equipping them with contextual (also sometimes called “professional”)skills. These calls for reform resulted in the EC2000 accreditation criteria, which require, amongother things, that graduates demonstrate the ability to integrate “realistic constraints such aseconomic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, andsustainability” into the design process, including the development of new products. This ability,in turn, rests on other abilities including an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams; anability to define and solve problems; an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility;an ability to communicate effectively; the

BusinessOne of the main components of the new program was the development of the STESE graduatecourse. To develop the course sequence, the authors worked closely with faculty members whoare part of a burgeoning entrepreneurship program within the COB. Course content that isspecific to global sustainable enterprises was developed in consultation with faculty memberswho were actively involved in the GSSE program and in the entrepreneurship certificate programfor undergraduate students [11]. Specifically, in its first offering, course content for the STESEcourse was culled and/or course syllabi were shared from the following existing courses withinthe COB, which span from the 200 to the 600 level:  Social, Ethical, and Regulatory Issues in Business
