There were two roles that the graduate studentsfilled. The graduate students were essentially teaching assistants of the surveying course at thesummer camp. Along with that, they conducted various learning courses to keep the students inan academic mind set. Meaning, outside of the surveying course the graduate students wereteaching various session on pertinent math courses to help with the surveying course, statistics,MATLAB, and AutoCAD.

Case Study Method InstructionEngineers working in business require the ability to solve relevant engineering problems “inuncertain and even currently unknowable environments.”5 The pedagogical goal of the casestudy method is to create this environment in the minds of students while they learn newconcepts and solve important problems. The case study method is widely used in businessschools to explore “the ‘wicked’ problems that potential managers will face in an uncertainworld”6 and encourage the “development of critical thinking and sense making abilities.”7 Overtime, the case study method has become a popular teaching tool because its

Entrepreneurs” or “Intrapreneurs.” According to Morris et al., “CorporateEntrepreneurship” is a term used to describe entrepreneurial behavior inside established mid-sized and large organizations2. The term “Intrapreneur” was first introduced by Pinchot in 1985as any dreamers who take hands-on responsibility for creating innovation of any kind within anorganization3. The entrepreneurial mind creates inventive solutions to complex problems. It alsorecognizes the importance of identifying entrepreneurial opportunities.Lawrence Tech has a strong commitment of fostering the entrepreneurial mindset.
