increase in mentorship,entrepreneurial workshops and competitions. VII. Future WorkPrevious studies have proposed different methods of assessment for the impact ofentrepreneurship education on engineering students (Upton, Sexton, & Moore, 1995; Wheeler,1993). Some researchers have suggested using the ratio of entrepreneurs among engineeringalumni to entrepreneurs in comparison with business or general alumni population. Others usedthe number of start-ups founded per engineering alumni within x years after graduation incomparison with those by business or general alumni population. Some even suggested using taxdata to compare their household income. While entrepreneurship is important for the economy,these criteria may not be the best way

inanalytical and problem-solving skills, but those positive findings do not offset the missedopportunities for broad student growth and higher levels of overall satisfaction that lead to agrowing number of citizen engineers prepared for our newly global, age of information.Terenzini and Reason built upon the observations of Astin and found that the peer environmentplays a deeply influential role in the learning and development of college students. 7Furthermore, out-of-class experiences can have substantial impacts on student outcomes. Straussand Terenzini were able to show that graduating engineering students made gains in analyticalskills and groups skills through out-of-class experiences. 8 Yu and Simmons review of therelevant literature found that

The students wereprovided with a scored points outline (see Appendix B) attached to their written research papersso they were aware of the strengths and weaknesses of their research and debate preparation foreach case study.Summary and Lessons LearnedThe legal course was taught two times with the same text book before introduction of debates inthe course. The reason for introduction of the debates was not to improve overall course grades,which were in the 83% to 85% overall for those two semesters, but in the hopes of improvingstudent participation, motivation for learning the materials, and understanding

Tothis end, VentureWell collaborated with the Increase the Impact team, a research project teamthat has developed resources to improve propagation of educational innovations, to develop aworkshop for its grantees to support institutionalization.Designing for Institutionalization ApproachThe Designing for Institutionalization (DI) approach was derived from the Designing forSustained Adoption (DSA) approach. DSA was developed by the Increase the Impact team basedon studies of typical practice and successful practice.19 The framework is

Engineering Ethics

every engineering graduate will work foran international development or other NGO.Instead, we propose that educators should strive to prepare students for a wide variety ofpersonal and professional pathways, yet with the goal of enabling them to become truly globalengineers capable of navigating ethical issues in diverse job roles and national/cultural contexts.Thus, engineering educators from the four different approaches to engineering ethics in theglobal context need more communication, collaboration, and coordination among themselves, ashow to educate a globally professional and responsible engineer is a very real and daunting issuethat has received much less attention than other topics in the field of engineering education.References 1

University’s Master of Sciencein Electrical Engineering program highlighted a significant improvement in the quality of thestudent capstone when the students elected to substitute systems engineering courses for theproject management courses. Projects tended to be more organized, and include strongerevaluations of practicality and performance of the final project.The Professors Santiago and Kasley have instructed several graduate several courses inelectrical, computer and systems engineering, and observed the improvement in student workwhen challenged to use of system-level thinking. This provided one key reason whyengineering faculty wanted to adopt a system engineering approach. In addition, the localcampus has a heavy military presence, and systems
