“capstone courses” which build on these basic concepts. This is where wesee a great deal of originality in the curriculum when compared with the manufacturing programsof other institutions. As the students approach their final training in machining, electronics, CAD, materials,plastics production, quality management, etc…they are required to take a three-course capstonesequence that follows a product’s development from conception through production. The firstclass, develops the product concept, the second course, takes that concept and plans itsproduction and the final course produces and sells the product. The first class, MFG 316 Design for Manufacturing and Tooling, is where the productdesign is born. Students generate product

However, thecommunity has realized that startups are fundamentally different that large companies, leading to theconcept of the “lean startup”[7] which says that new ventures should quickly and cheaply validate orinvalidate hypotheses through delivering the minimum viable product to potential customers well beforecommitting to large investments and long timeframe development efforts. This approach essentiallyamounts to an application of the scientific method in a new venture context[7].The nation’s 160,000 libraries empower the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem.

. Agile software development emerged as the most prominent approach to softwaredevelopment around the turn of the millenium. Still widely-adopted, Agile contrasts withprevious approaches that had rigid planning by emphasizing adapting quickly to evolvingcustomer needs. Agile enables responding to change by operating on short intervals of deliveringsoftware to the customer, eliciting feedback, and adjusting accordingly. The Agile principles [5]include: “Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project, [...]the most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a developmentteam is face-to-face conversation, [...and] our highest priority is to satisfy the customer throughearly and continuous

. Entrepreneurship education has evolved since it was first taught in business schools in themid-1940s. As it continues to be incorporated across disciplines, entrepreneurship education hasseen a number of innovations and has benefited from advances in student learning6.Entrepreneurship education has expanded well beyond single business plan classes. Recently,engineering colleges have been the most aggressive at incorporating entrepreneurship at differentlevels, from individual course development, certificate creation, to program development3,4,7. In2010, over 50% of ASEE engineering programs offered entrepreneurship opportunities to theirstudents and approximately 25% had a more structured opportunity, such as a minor7.

the university IP committee.One of the three projects involved automotive speed bumps. Speed bumps are designed to manage trafficpatterns by encouraging drivers to slow down and avoid jarring their cars. These are commonly made using amound of paving material laid across a roadway. Although simple in concept they have a number oflimitations. The use of paving materials requires special planning and labor to install and substantially morelabor to remove. The performance is highly dependent on geometry, but this can be hard to control. Evenslow drivers must endure the full motion of the bump, albeit at a slower pace. An alternate method forconstructing speed bumps was devised that would use a non-Newtonian fluid housed inside a rubber

These groups arenormally made up of 6-8 students from Electronics, Bio-Medical, Construction,Surveying, Manufacturing and Digital Media.

entrepreneurialmindset through undergraduate learning experiences.The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) serves as a starting point for answering this question.TPB suggests that becoming an entrepreneur is a planned behavior, and entrepreneurialintentions often precede entrepreneurial behavior.

EEhelps to nurture an entrepreneurial mindset among students, a fact that has been documented forengineering students [7].

are then required to take several developmental (pre-freshman, non-college)mathematics courses before they are allowed to take the math courses needed for their majors.The PGCC Program Director has found that many students do not prepare for the mathematicsentrance exam, or have a weak mathematics foundation, and thus are being placed intodevelopmental math courses – which increase the number of classes that must be taken at PGCC.Additionally, a review of scheduling plans late in the first year revealed that some students atPGCC who had a particular concern about passing required mathematics classes did not attemptthe classes, and instead, choose to fill their schedules with other classes. This strategy slowedtheir progress toward completing
