entrepreneurs' definitions, but mentioned only afew times throughout student interviews, for example, Participant 42 stated; "Entrepreneurialmindset is really just creating a new form of mental habits that will allow you to see the biggerpicture of things to make connections and values through what your work is." However, it seemsthat some of the more frequent codes such as Innovation and Business Skills were nothighlighted by entrepreneurs in previous studies. This could be due to students' lack ofexperience in the field and the fact that students are only learning about entrepreneurial mindsetin the classroom, as opposed to entrepreneurs who have real world experience with the benefitsof EM.Faculty in Zappe et al.’s study said that they believe that

The number “1” in the (1,2) positiondepicts designer 2’s reliance on designer 1 for the same function. The relations reflect the surveyresponses of the designers and are directional and of equal magnitude. The disconnect of nodesthree, four, and five to the other designers in this DSM indicates a weak connection of the networkat this particular threshold and function [61]. Twelve DSMs are constructed representing the threeleadership functions and three communications modes at two distinct frequency levels. Designer (Sink) 1

I’m just passing by” … And I’m fine with that, that doesn’t bother me anymore [interview 4]Decades of research focused on college student’s college departure affirm that students are morelikely to withdraw from their institution, all together, when they are not sufficiently integratedsocially and academically [31]–[38]. Kitatoi’s resignment to “just passing by” and her lack ofconnectedness with the institution are worrisome. Seymour and Hewitt [39] and Marra et al.’s [40]work emphasized that women who leave STEM disciplines decide to switch into non-engineeringdegree programs due to feeling as though they didn’t

There are strong evidences form the literature that including the soft skillssuch as management, entrepreneurship and leadership can boost the retention and enrollment inengineering programs. Entrepreneurship education has been found to boost GPA and retentionrates of the engineering students, provides the students with the skills and attitudes needed toinnovatively contribute to the existing organizations and pursue their own ventures, and has thepotential to address current and anticipated workforce demands. We strongly believe that byintegrating entrepreneurship into engineering courses, specifically in the ones that are

The course wasdesigned to attain the following four Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs): 1. Know the operation of laser-based scanner(s) to acquire spatial, color, and light intensity data. 2. Attain intermediate-level proficiency on the use of computer software to generate virtual 3D point-cloud models

Self-selecting software remains the course standard as long as the software was within the resourcesavailable to the AE program. Over the years and amongst teams, selected software varied in typeand number of platforms relative to how teams wanted to customize their experience.Considerations for software were based on perceived benefits that the software could aid theteam towards meeting the capstone goal of designing integrated engineered system(s) solutions.Faculty observations found that software could be grouped into two overarching categories: Design documentation software that students use to convey solutions to a

Observations are coded in 2-minute intervals until the class session is over. If the observer makes a mistake, they can note itduring the next interval, and adjust the data accordingly by hand, after class. Data isautomatically analyzed in GORP and can be exported to a spreadsheet for further analysis.The COPUS evaluation process was also part of the development of this Work-in-Progress.

as a scholar, dedicated to their course of study, hasbeen in decline since the 1960’s [1], [2]. A Bachelor’s degree was a means of academicintegration and status [3], facilitated by conventional lecture where an expert addresses thestudents using authoritative lecture style [4]. In this paradigm, students benefit from the student-mentor relationship having prepared for the interaction with intensive study. This has beenshown to be less beneficial to non-traditional students [5]. Non-traditional students come frompopulations such as community college transfer students or people who work temporary jobs thatare unrelated to their course of study [6]–[8].

value of using Fuzzy Logic in such applications depends onthe situation. Using Fuzzy Logic to detect and control the “darkness” of a piece of toast in atoaster seems to be a force-fit application, but in more complex situations, Fuzzy Logic allowsimplementation of non-linear control without complicated mathematical support.The Freescale S12 microcontroller includes specific instructions in its instruction set to supportFuzzy Logic applications. The presence of these four instructions as primitive operations in theS12 makes that microcontroller unique, and especially well-suited to Intelligent Controlapplications. This paper details those instructions in the S12’s instruction set that implementFuzzy Logic operations, and provides some

(RISC) device. The debate amongcomputer architects as to whether CISC or RISC designs lead to better performance has no clearwinner. In some applications, CISC excels, whereas in other applications RISC wins. Althoughno processor is 100% CISC or RISC, the S12 and the ATmega32 display many of thecharacteristics of the two extremes. The S12’s instruction set includes many exotic instructionsmeant for specific applications. Notable are the fuzzy logic instructions, and the tableinterpolation instructions, that perform complex calculations behind the scenes. By contrast, theATmega32’s instruction set includes only simple, straightforward instructions that each performvery limited tasks. CISC proponents argue that their philosophy is best because
