consensus thatearly-career mechanical engineers need more practical experience and better integration oftechnical and professional skills. There is less clarity on the value of any given technical topic.Even so, handbooks, working engineers, and job advertisements can support development ofuseful technical curriculum content.IntroductionEngineering curriculum evolves gradually over time in response to technological developments,institutional pressures, new pedagogical methods, and shifts in industry demand. Engineeringcurriculum is rarely designed—that is, developed to meet a need by iteratively inventing optionsand selecting the best ones based on evidence.Engineering curriculum has evolved in ways that are inconsistently tied to evidence

The objective of thiscurriculum is to provide students with a toolkit of important BME skills to make themcompetitive for industry careers as well as graduate school. An emphasis on design and project-based learning will help our students develop their communication skills, critical thinking, andtheir ability to work in teams. We plan to weave in issues of social responsibility and ethics intoour BME curriculum

entrepreneurship education assessment research. Explanations for women’s underrepresentation in male-dominated fields, such as engineeringand entrepreneurship, have been subject to debate for decades 16,17. However, upon closerexamination of the literature, these explanations can be divided into two major categories:characteristics of the individual and characteristics of the environment. Individual characteristicssuch as a person’s sense of self-efficacy and agency certainly contribute to one’s interest andcapability for success in a particular field. Yet, the nature of the environment in which onechooses to participate also plays a critical role in women’s academic and career decision-making.Key arguments pertaining to individuals’ characteristics
