The Baby Boomer generation, who are now retiring in record numbers, desireda steady career path, valued a strong work ethic, and hoped that company loyalty would lead toappropriate compensation [1].

Many students are not taught these skills in highschool, and often do not realize their deficiencies until their first year of college when

Diversity education here includes coursesaddressing the culture and social context of engineering, the disparate outcomes of engineersbelonging to groups traditionally underrepresented in engineering, and inclusive engineeringpractice. Courses such as these would help students contextualize their experiences and those ofothers in a larger body of knowledge about human interaction, challenge implicit biases, andmake a statement about institutional values of inclusion. These courses may align with a largermovement in engineering education to integrate ethics, human-centered design, leadershipdevelopment, and community-based project work—considerations of people, in other

Smart Management System can be customized to suit the size of the company, number of customers, locations such as local or global, or degree of automation. Scaling up or down and the system integration can be achieved relatively quickly. Scalability has recently gained significant attention, particularly in IT and manufacturing communities (Putnik et al., 2013). Smart Management System is scalable; hence it can facilitate business growth or reduction rather easily to provide flexibility for the business owners.10. Transparent and Ethical: Transparency is the

Project courses for all majors. The importance of understanding risk andliability, of continuous professional development including licensure, and of ethics inengineering practice, all of which are relevant concepts for an entrepreneurial approach toengineering, have been stressed. Historically, senior projects that have led to longer-termstudent-private sector collaborations or even student-initiated business have been rare.Recently, entrepreneurship at Pitt-Johnstown has experienced a revitalization. A renewed pushto create an Entrepreneurial Studies program came from Pitt-Johnstown President Jem Spectar in2011. This led first to an agreement with Johnstown Area Regional Industries (JARI) to supportentrepreneurial internships for Pitt-Johnstown

Althoughhigh school GPAs and standardized scores are considered as part of the application, the decisionfor acceptance into SB is a combination of a student’s expressed work ethic, letters ofrecommendations from high school counselors and teacher, and overall transcript courseevaluation. All incoming URM students are encouraged to apply for the program; however, withan average acceptance rate around 90%, not all applicants are accepted.Summer Bridge StructureThe SB program runs for five weeks and coincides with the second summer session.

In using the Product ArchaeologyCanvas, students must “excavate” public information on all of these factors for an over-the-counter medical device. Like an archaeologist, they needed to create a plausible and coherentnarrative of the decisions the company made in moving that product idea to the customer. Withthis background they become forward-thinking intrapreneurs – proposing a way to increase thevalue of their product but in a way that balanced all of the various constraints and perspectives.

The National Academy of Engineering, for example,have stated in their vision of “The Engineer of 2020” that engineering activities should beframed in the context of rapidly moving technological changes, global interconnection ofresources, and an increasingly diverse and multidisciplinary population of individuals involvedin or affected by engineering developments. Among the NAE aspirations for the engineeringfield is “a future where engineers are prepared to adapt to changes in global forces and trendsand to ethically assist the world in creating a balance in the standard of living for developing anddeveloped countries alike”3. This vision reflects the need to embrace global competencies framedwithin ethical considerations, where

Recognizing the need, many engineeringschools in the U.S. have started offering ethics and study abroad programs to their undergraduatestudents. Our research shows that selection of countries for study abroad programs have widenedsignificantly in the recent years. For example, in the nineties, the US Universities were offeringstudy abroad programs mostly in European and few other developed countries in the Asia pacificregion. In recent years, that list has grown significantly including many other countries aroundthe world like South Africa, Brazil, Russia, China, Chile, and India to name a few.

For example, oneparticular case study in Gary Downey’s book highlighted the challenges inimplementation of a program to connect student engineers with underserved communitiesin an international setting. Differences in culture and language coupled with thegeographical distance compounded made the project untenable and it had to stop. Someof the reasons she cited included that “the large body of knowledge in the developmentarea was not readily accessible or available to engineers,” and students did not activelyseek out the ethical and social understanding necessary

WReSTT-CyLE is an environment that emphasizes the collaborative learning strategy through a team based approach. At the same time, as an online learning environment, out of class study would be suitable for students and is one of the main purposes of this project. Does the organic collaboration bring efficient results and learning outcomes? Does gamification emphasize independent and team wide learning? Is each team learning on an independent based XP? If some of the answers to the above questions are no, how do we adjust the bias in the results?After the study, we retrieved the data and
