A number of “soft skills” must be developed as well. Some of theseskills include work ethic, timeliness, attendance, and professionalism.6 The Center forProfessional Excellence indicates that 95% of human resources managers feel universities shouldinclude professionalism training as part of the curriculum.7 This professionalism training shouldinclude skills for interviewing, communication

As instructors, these faculty membersare very familiar with the language that ought to be discipline-specific for the courses that theyteach. This aspect of the research has passed the ethics review at the institution where this studywas conducted.The methodology of this phase of the research involves training, calibration, quantitative datacollection, and debriefing of each participant. A condensed methodology is described below:1. Participants were recruited using a standardized email request. In some cases, participants were asked in-person as a follow-up to the email, to ensure that the email was read.2. A Doodle.com account was
. Students then integrate the non-technical framework from Stages 1-3 and the technical material from Stage 4 within a problem-solving exercise. The exercises necessarily vary across courses, but they share commonelements: hands-on involvement of the student (e.g., through a laboratory or in-class exercise),analysis of real-world data or simulation (e.g., electroencephalograms during a brain-computerinterface), and reflection on ethical or practical issues raised by the data (e.g., whether the dataindicate an acceptable level of performance, given cost constraints). Instructors are urged toconnect their activities to local resources whenever possible (e.g., research laboratories or designfirms). Successful applications will not only make the GC seem

exogenous constructs impacting students’ pursuit of entrepreneurship minorPossession of the entrepreneurial mindset is perhaps the ultimate exogenous factor that mayinfluence students’ intention to minor in entrepreneurship. Kriewall11 organized a panel sessionat the annual meeting of the National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance with theintention of discussing the “defining characteristics of entrepreneurial engineers.” The panelidentified eleven attributes they felt were necessary for entrepreneurial engineers: “…integrity, tenacity, ethics, creativity, intuition, a deep knowledge of engineering fundamentals, the ability to engineer products for commercialization, a penchant for lifelong learning, an ability to
practical toarrange an industry internship when the student is not being paid under the T32 grant and caninstead be paid by the industry host site. There is considerable variation and uncertainty about policy with respect to intellectualproperty generated as part of an off-campus training experience. This is consistent with theauthors’ experience. In addition, we note that our trainees to date have demonstrated a high rateof interest in intellectual property and other issues related to entrepreneurship. Hence, we havetried to address this challenge by creating opportunities for students to learn about practical,legal, and ethical issues of intellectual property management. In conclusion, this analysis suggests that successful
outcomes in the course are focused on theengineering profession: explain the basic practice of engineering, describe background histories,impact on society, skills employed, and professional/ethical responsibilities; summarize theknowledge bases, skills, problem types, and analysis techniques of the four engineeringdisciplines offered at Quinnipiac University; and analyze information provided and learned tomake an informed decision about choice of an engineering major. These outcomes are focusedon raising student knowledge of engineering disciplines in order to enhance their ability to makean informed decision about choice of an engineering major.An important part of the course designed to solidify the class discussions is the hands-on

Our data indicates that participation in the programcontributes to: • Better understanding about the academic requirements that are unique to the College of Engineering. Participants indicate that before participation in the DPO-SP they were not aware of the academic requirements to be admitted to the College of Engineering. • Participants learning to work using structured schedules that allow for balance between studies and social life. This structure resulted in
toseveral topics by the faculty at the start of the semester, and they were encouraged to select atopic that was relevant to themselves, their families, or just of great interest. Some of theproposed topics centered on maintaining the ecosystem and tourism of our island, meeting theneeds of a population facing drought conditions, and maintaining a balance between refineryplants and the communities that surround them. Unlike the traditional composition course,students also discussed sustainability ethics in order to better understand some of the argumentsthey would come across in the articles they were gathering. Additionally, the size of the classallowed time to show videos that pertained to the students’ specific research topic. Like
ways that preserve and enhance foundations of culture, rather thansimply colonize them into a single homogeneity. Hence, an education that is shaped withphilosophy based on global approaches and ethics, rather than a single worldview, isnecessary for a genuinely intercultural electronic global village, to produce self-capable,self-determined, competent learners. The products of Western educational approaches,although valuable, should be examined carefully through a cultural lense, as well as withan open mind about their utility in a variety of disciplines, educational platforms andcontexts.Bibliography[1] Adams, G. & Markus, H.

Today’sengineer must possess more than just what has been traditionally considered technical skills andmust do more than just problem solving. He/she must be able to use creative thinking andinnovative design principles, while grasping importance of changing technologies. Moreover,working within multidisciplinary teams of other industry professionals and communicatingeffectively across all disciplines is of paramount importance 2.Involvement and, for some, leadership roles in “real world” projects that “balance technicalsolutions with social, cultural, environmental, economic, and sustainability concerns, in

It is easy to seehow a student is impacted when he/she hears directly from the person making policies that affectan entire country or organizations so large that they affect an entire region of the world.

agreement from perspectives such as ethics, sustainable development, work environment, economy and usefulness. It is also a learning objective that the students should be able to evaluate and analyze their own abilities and competencies regarding working in an intercultural and distributed project, as well as develop strategies that lead to lifelong learning. The focus on competencies suitable for a global engineer is thus more explicit than in the Runestone course. Page 20.24.5

The instructors believe that use of visual materials,especially in a class consisting of non-native speakers helps them fill the comprehension gaps.Use of existing film materials also assures high quality and well-told stories19. As part of thecourse, towards the end the class a feature film is shown with a storyline emphasizing some ofthe critical issues highlighted in the course. In the last edition it was “The Man in the WhiteSuit,” a 1951 film emphasizing creativity and ethics in the product development activities. In addition, in the recent offering of the course students were encouraged to create theirown videos and also provided with a rudimentary instruction
