studentsfeel intrinsically motivated to behave in proactive, open minded and collaborative manner, theexpected level of effort is high, and the expected level of persistence to arrive at an acceptablefinal design is high as well. Motivation of students needs to be across the curriculum [Sheppardet al, 2010], and it is important to consider how to best support early year engineering students’motivation and self-regulating learning [Nelson et al, 2015], due to the fact that in these years iswhen students are more likely to drop out [Gainen, 1995].There are many studies regarding the variety of factors, internal and external, that might affectmotivation in an individual. In fields closed to engineering and applicable to engineeringstudents, list goals

It has not existed in Portugal before, [and] it has been a major concernof the MIT-Portugal Program. We were aware that this was a lack of teaching. It was already on our„back mind,‟ so to speak, but it was never implemented.” “I think would be very important [..] for all the engineering schools to have some entrepreneurship atthe PhD level.

Course outcomes aremeasured by student surveys and feedback comments and analysis is specifically tailored toaddress the following three questions: 1.

The key is to keepthe focus on what each student needs to learn and how to integrate the learning experiences inthe three areas using a few carefully-designed projects. Secondly, keeping the desired outcomein mind is crucial: participating students will combine principles and skills developed in the firstcourse with their engineering expertise in the sequel course in Technology Entrepreneurship.

The Icarus program was structured with this theoretical framework in mind. The expectation was thatthe students that participate in Icarus, positively engage with their engineering program, and with their peers, butnot to the expense of their academic coursework. Icarus emphasized the value of the alignment between theresearch project offered, and the coursework students were enrolled in. Furthermore, we expected intrinsicmotivation in the students that participated in the voluntary research projects. In addition, we hypothesizedstudents were going to develop short

ConclusionThis paper presents a study that compares the team effectiveness between globally distributedand locally distributed engineering teams that are built upon the engineering classes. The resultshows that the locally distributed teams significantly outperformed the globally distributed teamsin terms of the measures of utilization of resources, experimentation/creativity, and evaluation ofteam functions. Such results can be used for instructors to better prepare student’s mind in termsof how to succeed in a distributed teams as individuals and how to mingle all team memberstowards a more functional team.
