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 (34) .Be broad minded and think long range.In this vein, the major engineering problems

Engineering Undergraduates Concurrently Seeking K-12 STEM Teacher Licensure: Fuels the Soul or Too Many Barriers?IntroductionThe benefits of infusing K-12 education with engineering—specifically engineering design anddesign habits of mind—is well established; engineering design is a powerful vehicle for scienceand math education [1]. Engineering education research suggests that students who are exposedto engineering topics during their elementary and secondary years are more motivated to enrolland succeed in advanced science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) courses inmiddle and high school, as well as eventually pursue engineering and other STEM careers [1, 2].Moreover, students who enter undergraduate engineering programs

of our population. The stakes can be high: when engineers do notdesign with both genders in mind, preventable fatalities result. The first airbags, designed by anall-male team, killed women when the designers did not take into account women’s smaller sizesand different body structures (Massey). For decades, doctors who did not realize that women andmen exhibit different heart attack symptoms would misdiagnose women and send them home(Del Giudice).What does it take to achieve the elusive fifty-fifty gender balance in engineering? Like the set ofstudies that come before this one, this study aims to bridge the gap between women’s and men’sexperiences in engineering.

Related LiteratureMany teachers engage in discourse that is monologic—or to use van de Weghe’s phrase, theyplay the game of “What’s on my mind?” (p. 88). Decades of research has indicated thatmonologic patterns—most notably, the I-R-E patterns—dominate classroom discourse regardlessof academic discipline.1, 8 Nystrand and colleagues

entrepreneurial mindset.IntroductionTechnical skillset alone is not sufficient for engineering students to address the societalchallenges. According to the 2015 National Academy of Engineering (NAE)’s report Educate toInnovate1, the development of critical thinking skills as well as an innovative and entrepreneurialmindset is equally important. In order to meet the needs of the global economy, besidesemphasizing technical skills, engineering curriculum should incorporate content and activitiesthat promote the entrepreneurial mindset and the best time to start this is during the freshmanyear. This, however, is not the same as teaching entrepreneurship or preparing entrepreneurs.According to Kriewall and Mekemson2, “an entrepreneurial minded engineer (i.e

This is an important commitment. […] Our contention is that they cannot be a side-note in traditional math and science
