Despite of the promotion of these educational efforts, however, the impact of TIECson engineering students’ entrepreneurship intention and behaviors, remain scarcely answered.Entrepreneurial intention, as the prerequisite and the best prediction of entrepreneurialbehavior, have an important impact on actual entrepreneurial behavior. This research focuseson engineering students’ entrepreneurial intention and sets out to explore the impact ofengagement in TIECs on their entrepreneurial intention. This study aims to examine tworesearch questions: 1) In the context of TIECs, what are the factors that affect

They alsosuggested that an activity with a corporate attorney in the Silicon Valley program be included(and they provided one for the students to interview). Finally, and perhaps somewhatsurprisingly, Advisory Board members stressed the need for a discussion of ethics and pointedout how leadership can easily be compromised if company leaders do not treat their employeeswith respect or are less than forthcoming with data about company performance.An alumni group of Frank Fellows has been formed and a program has begun to solicitsuggestions from these people because they have been able to reexamine the Frank

The project provides students not onlywith the understanding of how to apply electric-generating power plant theory, but also howdesign is integrated with, and influenced by, economic, socio-political, and environmentalfactors. These are all factors the entrepreneurially-minded engineer must be aware of, and keepin mind, throughout their career.4.2 DetailsThe work proposed here consists of an educational module designed for thermodynamics (a

OutcomesUpon the completion of this project, students certainly gained some knowledge related to circuitdesign and collaborated with each other working toward a common goal. In addition, it can beclaimed that the project activity supports the following students outcomes set by ABET: (a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering; (b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data; (c) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability; (d) an ability to function on

Such soft skills are outlined by the EngineeringCriteria of ABET1 relating to communications, teamwork, ethical responsibilities, contextualunderstanding, among others.

In this latter case, sometimes comparable, if notsuperior, software can be found in the open source marketplace without encumbrance by closedsource licensing issues. An example of such is Octave, an open source program comparable toMATLAB®. In other cases the commercially licensed software can be purchased by theacademic institution for a reduced cost for use by the project. But in any event, it is critical forfaculty and students to know and understand the professional and ethical considerations ofdesign software licensing for commercial activities.Outcomes:The IRE program began in January 2010, therefore we have only one semester of results

This broad goal might represent just one of the values we have for the course. Other values might relate to acquisition of technical knowledge or practicing certain professional skills (communication, ethics, etc.). When considering the value propositions, consider questions such as: o What value do you believe that your course has for students and other stakeholders? o If you asked your students (or other stakeholders), what value do you think they would attribute to your course
