Western Michigan University dropped to below 50 students in 2006. The facultyrealized that changes were necessary to once again have an attractive program. A core of seniorfaculty banded together to reinvent the IE program at Western Michigan University in an effort toprepare graduates for future careers -- including future positions which may not exist in the currentworkplace.Review of programs at other schoolsIn 2005, it was unclear what direction the IE program at Western Michigan University should take.Some IE programs across the US had made changes to their programs, but these changes typicallyincluded making small content adjustments and placing terms such as “systems”, “operations”,“operations research”, or “manufacturing” in the program

Motivated by the key role that engineers play in bringing newdiscoveries and technologies to the market, universities have begun in the last twodecades to offer entrepreneurship as part of engineering education in the U.S. This hasproduced a rich and diverse landscape of programs, courses and extracurricularopportunities for engineering and science students. Entrepreneurship is increasinglyviewed as a necessary area of competency and a career path for engineering graduateswho need to be equipped with an appropriate knowledge base, skill set and an

are graduating, and are already thinking of their future careers. One objective inintegrating the entrepreneurial mindset into this course is the broadening of students’perspectives on how their creative ideas can be developed into a marketable product, with theintent that students see beyond just solving an engineering problem to get a grade or please asupervisor, but to think about the potential for commercialization of their products.The structure of the Senior Design course is well‐suited for integrating entrepreneurial concepts.To begin, the students are already working on a project in a simulated professional environment,and student questions and class and team discussion can be guided to include the entrepreneurialconsiderations.

The intention of these programs is for engineeringstudents to gain a skillset and orientation towards being more innovative and entrepreneurial intheir careers once they leave the university, whether they choose to try to immediately start acompany or not.Many of the activities that are designed into entrepreneurship programs, however, result instudents experiencing varying degrees of failure with the most extreme case being student-launched ventures that fail.

The net result of the interacting emotions may be anything from a meltdown of the engineer’s confidence (and concomitant drop in innovation-related competencies) to a team experience that improves the product, learns about the product/customer domain and builds team esprit de corps (and builds innovation-related competencies of individuals). These outcomes depend on many things including the dynamics of the design review and tone and content of

For instance, engineers are expected to have a broader range of skills, a greater sense of teamwork, more eclectic interests, and an awareness of information from sources outside of their field of interest.The Problem and the Purpose of the Assessment The problem that this study addresses is that there is a lack of affiliation with and informationfrom industry and the communities related to the public university engineering programs.

majority of facultywill believe that certain aspects of entrepreneurship can be taught, as to think otherwise wouldnot likely have resulted in the career paths of these faculty members. However, faculty memberswill likely differ on what characteristics of the entrepreneur would tend to be more innate to theindividual.3. How do faculty members teach entrepreneurship?Henry, Hill, and Leitch (2005) note that the methods used in entrepreneurship education varytremendously (from lectures, presentations, to video and case-based learning). 6,7 They see theneed to model entrepreneurship education to what true entrepreneurs would likely experience:an unstructured, real-life situation, active learning.

. Today’s collegegraduates are entering a labor market that demands workers who are entrepreneurially mindedand innovative thinkers with good problem-solving skills, strong communication skills, andadept teamwork skills. They must think like entrepreneurs capable of transferring knowledge andskills from one context to another even if they are merely regular employees, and asentrepreneurial employees, “[their] relationship skills are as important as [their] technicalskills”9. Therefore, “career success” is now not only directly dependent on the individual and theemployer for which one works16, but also on the various teams of individuals with whom oneworks9.Morris et al17 noted that the study of entrepreneurship as a discipline is relatively new

Chen notesthat prior research consistently shows that self-efficacy is a strong predictor of futureperformance. There are several strengths to Chen et al’s work. First, their research is deeply rooted inliterature regarding the concept of self-efficacy and expectancy theory. Second, they developESE using two study groups.

InitialPublic Offering (IPO): In the 10th year of the company, you are doing $70 million in sales and project that you will reach $100 million within a year. At this time, you see 2 possible directions for the company: 1) Take the company public. Your accountants suggest that you should offer 2 million (of your total 12 million shares) at $30 per share. 2) Disney, which has been trying to get into the educational software market, offers you $420 million for your entire company.Students often gave clear answers that analyzed their personal interests, long term career goals,and assessments of value. However, close to half of the students (16 of 40) also struggled withthe exact mechanisms at play when
