Integrated Product Development and the entrepreneurshipminor.Entrepreneurship teaching – undergraduate: Since the mid 1990’s Lehigh hasoffered an award winning cross-disciplinary program in Integrated Product Development(IPD) for students in engineering, business and the design arts. For the past eight yearsthe program has focused on technical entrepreneurship through new productdevelopment, with industry sponsorship of cross-disciplinary student teams2. The IPDprogram has also engaged local entrepreneurs and student entrepreneurs. Since theinception of the National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance (NCIIA), elevenLehigh teams have won national competitions for collegiate innovation andentrepreneurship (see www.NCIIA.org). The IPD program
begin to look atwhich kinds of team characteristics are more likely to produce better solutions to MEAs and howto teach students to embody those characteristics as team members. These findings could havegreat impact on how we teach problem solving and teaming to our students.Bibliographic Information1. ABET (2002). Engineering Criteria 2002-2003.

soon madethem responsibility of the team’s Systems Engineer or Systems Engineering Manager.This assignment was generally welcomed by all team members. As we will demonstratebelow, traditional engineering students lacked familiarity with the products while SE andSEM students were less familiar with the technology of the projects. Most design teams used MS Project to develop and present their schedule. Theywere asked to identify the major milestones in the two semesters, major efforts in thedesign and fabrication process, individual(s) primarily responsible for each effort, startand stop dates, and time required. The level of detail in the schedule required of eachteam was tailored based on the number of cadets on the team and whether or

: Distinguishing Itself from Other FieldsNot only does some of the literature on entrepreneurs distinguish them from others in business,the field of entrepreneurial studies has sought to identify itself as different from mainstreambusiness studies, even though similarities exist. We see this distinction as another reason forcreating ethical studies for entrepreneurial education. Higher education has allocated a greatmany resources towards keeping up with changing business trends: growing, modifying andcustomizing curriculum to better prepare graduates to compete in the ever evolving economiclandscape. In the mid 1990’s entrepreneurship education was born. Over the last decade it hasbecome one of the fastest growing fields of study available to students

Each plan shall also include the significantstructural design of a design element, such as a retaining wall, parking deck, small building ormajor component(s) of larger structures, etc. The plan must also include a cost-effectivedrainage system to accommodate the ultimate development of the site. “Green Facility”concepts should be considered in the

such equipment as exists is not or cannot beinstrumented extensively enough. A possible exception is fluid handling equipment – fans,compressors, and, especially, pumps. Experience with a student “engineered” pump test usingPTC 8.2 Centrifugal Pumps will be described later in this paper.Having the students read and report on a PTC (or a few sections of a PTC) is simple toimplement and allows for a wide range of flexibility. The topic of the course allows theinstructor to pick the appropriate PTC(s) to be read and reported. For example, if the course isFluid Mechanics, PTC 19.5, Flow Measurement would be an obvious choice. The exerciseworks particularly well in a laboratory course where the students can extend and strengthentopics and practices

unscreened I/O wires can be awkward to handle but they are a working compromise betweensimplicity, frequency range, noise limits and cost. However, other connectors common inlaboratory settings such as BNC coax and scope probes can be easily added.It uses the well-established Digilent Waveforms software to display power supply, analog anddigital signal sources as well as a two-channel fully differential oscilloscope. The maximumsampling rate is 100 M sample/s but oversampling is always assured with 16 k samples in achannel record. This illustrates an interesting design compromise for the educational market. Itmeans a lower nominal bandwidth but since the full frame of the oscilloscope image has 16 kdata points, there is no risk of undersampling. For

sortof career fair-type activity outside of class. A sampling of the universities in this university’speer and aspirational groups examined appears in Appendix 1.Courses involving career development concepts and activities have proliferated since the1980’s;13 however, little is known about the effectiveness of these courses on employability andthe ways other activities such as internships and prior experience contribute to student success.14Sagan’s 2000 study of the effects of career preparation suggested that any supplemental careerpreparation is valuable although a modest positive effect occurred when preparation wasconsidered independent of individual characteristics. Of course, related work experience andinternships had the greatest effect

I expected my RET team to implement the teleoperation (engineering studentand myself), design an experiment (whole team), run the experiment (teachers and student),analyze results (whole team), and write up our findings (whole team). I hoped to havedeliverables of experimental data, engineering-education or teacher-education conferencepaper(s) by the teachers, and research conference and/or journal paper by the student and/or me.There were some challenges working with the participants, as expected. For example, theteachers did not have the engineering background suited for designing communication, writingcode, wiring
representative of the broader engineering faculty population. Future research shouldalso survey faculty directly to find out the extent to which left-of-center grading is deliberatelyemployed since most of our knowledge of the practice is filtered through student perceptions.We also need research that can better understand the motivations of faculty who use the practice.Understanding these motivations can help researchers come up with viable alternatives to left-of-center grading.5.
