Session # 1661 RESPONDING TO EXPECTATIONS OF NON-TECHNICAL STUDENTS Ahmad R. Sarfaraz, Tarek A. Shraibati California State University, NorthridgeIt is widely accepted that increasing the technical literacy among all students is critical as oursociety becomes increasingly dependent upon science and technology. Therefore, a number ofengineering departments at some universities offer courses specifically addressing the needs ofthe non-engineering students. A general education course, Introduction to Computer-AidedGraphics Tools, has been offered by the Manufacturing Systems
faster, the method of design changes accordingly.Computer-based technologies have greatly changed the way design engineers work. The firsttechnological element was the use of high-powered personal computers (PCs). With PCs, designengineers have access to Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software right at their own desks.Personal computers and CAD packages replaced drawing boards, pencils, and T-squares. Thesecond change is the emerging use of the Internet or Intranet by engineers that enables them tocollaborate with partners at far-flung locations. The third technology is virtual reality (VR) thatallows users to enter design works and interface in three dimensions (3D).Three-dimensional CAD software has been used extensively due to its power in
theemerging global competition of the production of engineers. The use of multimedia andinformation technologies has provided a tool for learning delivery in engineeringeducation, and this project provides a methodology to incorporate real-world experiencewith decision making in an academic setting. The use of a multimedia case study is usedfor an engineering design course to encourage team work, improve presentation skills,and simulate real world decision making. An evaluation of the project suggests thatstudents are susceptible to this pedagogy for engineering instruction, and that it canpromote critical thinking and team work in an academic environment.IntroductionThe industry foghorn continues to resonate across the engineering academy on the

Session 3554 The Educators Corner: A Response to Needs in Entrepreneurship Education Katherine A. Emery, John Feland Stanford Technology Ventures Program/Center for Design Research Stanford UniversityI. INTRODUCTIONMany colleges and universities worldwide have seen the value of integrating entrepreneurshipeducation into engineering and science programs. Creating a new program can provide theopportunity to affect regional economic growth, enhance skill development of the nextgeneration of technology leaders and managers, and
increase in the interest in entrepreneurship, somuch so that the term “engineering entrepreneurship” has been associated with this phenomenon.There are some important differences between offerings at the two types of school. Inengineering, most of the course offerings are aimed at undergraduate students, and facultyinterested in, but not formally trained in, entrepreneurship, management, or business are initiatingthe offerings. In both schools, the teaching is strongly supported by part-time educators, such as“executives-in-residence,” outside business executives or experienced entrepreneurs. The offeringsin engineering schools all have a strong technology component or association.The term “high technology entrepreneurship” is not in general use
