In this study, we ask who are the entrepreneurs of tomorrow,what motivates them, and what learning experiences influence their career pathways.2.0 Starter or Joiner?An aim of this study is to understand students’ entrepreneurial intent, specifically asking Howvaried are entrepreneurial career goals among today’s undergraduate engineering students?(RQ 1)We begin by considering what entrepreneurial intent is. There exist many definitions ofentrepreneurship, such as the activity of starting a business, taking on risk in the hope of profit,or the discipline of managing innovation in the

Some students showed great interest in doingresearch in future. Through this research, it was shown that some fundamental commonquestions or topics raised by the students during their courses can be used as undergraduateresearch projects. Students benefit greatly from such research projects.1. IntroductionThe mechanical properties of materials gathered from tensile tests are critical strength data formechanical design.

There seemed to be a gap between the cultivation of skills and knowledge for newventure creation and the engagement of students in actual new venture creation.Looking more broadly, this phenomenon does not seem to be limited to the University ofVirginia. According to data, the number of entrepreneurship programs offered at institutions ofhigher education has been skyrocketing since the 1970’s [1–3]. However, there has beeninsufficient evidence to support that an increase in traditional curricular entrepreneurshipeducation leads to an increase in venture creation [4,5].

In a broader sense, we can think of narrative as a basic form of humancommunication, one through which “humans experience and comprehend life. 2” Narrative isnothing less than the context in which we all live and interact: people performing actions in timeand space, inevitably infused with conflict and attempts at resolution. Because it is universal assuch and also highly engaging of both logic and emotion, narrative is potentially transferableacross any contextual differences.

In looking atthe definition of play for early childhood educators we gain insight into a different kind oflearning. A Child’s World defines play as children being able to use materials in order to“stimulate senses, exercise muscles, coordinate sight with movement, gain mastery over theirbodies, make decisions, and acquire new skills.” Therefore, educational settings include whereverthe child goes, as is supported by the concept of a

Beginning from their first physics course, studentsare used to solving problems with equations. However, most of the working substances inengineering applications are not ideal gases, and they cannot be described by equations. Instead,students have to rely on the data tables to find the solutions [1]. Furthermore, this courseintroduces many new concepts, which cannot be well understood without reflecting on themwhen working on the exercise problems. Unfortunately

However, there are very few formal programs in EngEd across thecountry.

The shear stress varies linearly withshear strain in the elastic region, and reaches a constant value and stays constant in the plasticregion. Sometimes this representation is termed as one of “zero hardening.” However, mostductile materials exhibit strain hardening where in the plastic region, the shear stressmonotonically increases with shear strain.
