I want to be an entrepreneur”and the non-traditional student inquired about “courses that will make me be a better innovator”.It took one ambitious faculty member to hear these statements and to gather a team comprisingthree other like-minded faculty members who shared the belief that Colorado School of Mineshad an opportunity to positively change the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem at Theirinstitution. The quest for support began.Epicenter, started through Stanford University as a product of a NSF grant, launched a programcalled the Pathways to Innovation Program3 (“Pathways”) in 2014

Atotal of 45 middle school students have participated in a 1-week Girls in Science Lab Camp andfive half-day Girls in Science and Engineering Weekend Academy activities. For the Girls inScience Lab program, the participants were divided into teams and assigned an environmentalscience and engineering themed case study to solve during guided laboratory experience. Studentswere taught how to collect and analyze water samples using university laboratory

Contracting or transaction costs are often a major barrier to cooperation between different parties, and many university-industrial activities run aground on the shoals of intellectual property rights. In efforts that are educational in nature it would do the universities well to remember that industries are the sine qua non of real engineering activities (33) .Be broad minded and think long range.In this vein, the major engineering problems of local industries along with theirpotential solutions should be focused on, properly framed, and clearly identified inopen forums (e.g. through technical

In some instances,usually when working in teams, estimating is about creating a shared understanding of a givenrequirement, and keeping the big picture in mind. By keeping things simple, and not gettingcaught up in precise details of the final results; estimation puts everyone on the same page towork toward a common goal. Although the estimates will not always be exactly right, they willbe consistent.5.

AbstractStatistics data show that there is a huge gender gap in science, technology, engineering, and math(STEM) workforces in the United States. In order to encourage more women to work in theSTEM fields, the first step is to attract women to pursue the STEM majors. Robotics provides aneasy, fun, and exciting environment for young minds, while exposing them to technologies at thesame time. This paper describes our collaboration with an all-girl high school in offering theirstudents a year-long robotics workshop. The motivation of this collaboration is two-folded. Onone side, the school administration is interested in bringing engineering and technologies to theircurriculum, which is currently missing. From our side, we would like to motivate and
