He teaches in the areas of introductory materials engineering, polymers and composites, and capstone design. His research interests include evaluating conceptual knowledge, mis- conceptions and technologies to promote conceptual change. He has co-developed a Materials Concept Inventory and a Chemistry Concept Inventory for assessing conceptual knowledge and change for intro- ductory materials science and chemistry classes. He is currently conducting research on NSF projects in two areas. One is studying how strategies of engagement and feedback with

Therefore,we have developed a cross listed science and engineering course that allows students be engagedin activities that highlight the connection between technical skills and know-how andentrepreneurial mindset.Integrating entrepreneurial thinking within STEM curriculum not only can enhance the 21stcentury skills, but also it has positive impact on students’ perception about their technical field ofstudy. For example, Ryan Kelly, and Susan Yoon [4] have studied the impact of the integratingSTEM and Entrepreneurship or STEEM (i.e., Science, Technology, Engineering,Entrepreneurship and Mathematics) on high school girls. Their study suggests that Teachers’promotion of active learning, hands-on activities and critical thinking, and their
