manyuniversities.Excellence in teaching has always been a hallmark of Baylor. A recent growth in the graduateprogram prompted the School of ECS to develop a strategy to help faculty, especially researchactive faculty, see the importance of classroom teaching and to develop classroom skills. Thispaper will document the original plan to provide tools to enable faculty to grow in both theirresearch programs as well as undergraduate education, focusing on the series of FacultyDevelopment Seminars (FDSs) and end-of-semester workshops held every year since 2011.The purpose for this work has not changed - as we aspire to encourage innovation in ourclassrooms and instill a greater appreciation for Baylor, we must, ourselves, continue to grow inour development as faculty

University have begun a unique initiative in the area of entrepreneurship. TheEngineering Entrepreneurship Education Experience (E4) model brings entrepreneurship fromthe private sector into the undergraduate environment. It begins with the idea/concept process.At brainstorming sessions with private industry, faculty, and beginning capstone students, newideas for products and systems are identified for development. Student teams select ideas thathave strong industry support, and through two semesters of planning and implementationtransform them into fully functional prototypes. At the end of the second semester, the E4student teams deliver a combined technical/business/marketing presentation to invited privatesector and business development

plan. Themessage to students is that all their ideas are worthy of converting into detailed operatingdocuments. They are not. These ideas must be screened and assessed. The entrepreneur’s time,after all, is the most precious resource of all. There is no sense wasting it on an idea that has nochance of being economically successful. The good news is that there is increasing attentionbeing paid to—determining the feasibility of the business. More and more institutions arebeginning to look at teaching methodologies to assess the feasibility of a proposed new business.Our courses take the steps necessary to show students how to create entrepreneurial ventureswith significant business potentials (Figure 1).

During the academic year, students participate in a course taught jointly by the Collegesof Business and Engineering and work on interdisciplinary teams to prepare both prototypes andbusiness plans for their own entrepreneurial ideas. At end of the year each team competes in theWSU Business Plan Competition. The other parts of the program are an annual entrepreneurshipworkshop for graduate students and an elective course entitled, “Technology Ventures.”IntroductionIn December of 2003 with funding from Mr. Harold Frank, a 1948 Electrical Engineeringalumnus and founder

However, entrepreneurship is a mindset not onlyapplicable to those launching their own companies, but relevant for anyone seeking to reinvent,improve and advance in any organization. We realized these are qualities applicable to all of ourstudents. At Wentworth, education centers on interdisciplinary, experiential, and project-basedlearning.
