It is the capstone experience that requires both teamwork andindividual skills in solving an industrial problem. The students are taking the course during theirsenior year and only when they are prepared for it. Upon completion of this course, the studentwill be able to: 1) apply the principles and skills in solving a real-life industrial problem, 2)analyze an industrial problem by breaking it into component parts, each of which can be studiedseparately as

Therefore, a graduate of theEntrepreneurial Program will receive a B.Sc. in engineering degree with the same total numberof credits as a student in the traditional path to a B.Sc. degree. The Entrepreneurial Programincludes an extensive multi-disciplinary design experience.

Since most engineering curricula in the first 2 years are not necessarilyengineering or design based (ABET curriculum requirements call for one year combination ofbasic math and sciences plus a general education component), freshmen cornerstone classes suchas ours are a way to weave the larger story of being an engineer into the first year studentexperience and perhaps even help with learning gains (and motivation) in those courses.Teaching FrameworksA number of teaching frameworks for engineering courses have been described elsewhere16 andinclude: 1) Project-Based Learning (PBL)- projects

This is an important factorconsidering approximately 95% of physics graduates go on to careers in the private sector orgovernment labs, yet most undergraduate physics programs prepare students primarily foracademic careers. In fact, a survey of 1,407 mid-career physics PhD recipients found that theyfrequently attributed career success to their skills and abilities outside of physics (e.g.,interpersonal, problem solving, computing, and analysis skills).

Common team types found in the literature are: Functional teams perform specific functions in an organization. Sometimes they are called department teams. These teams have members from the same department or work area who meet regularly.
