We begin with an introduction to theframework we are using to guide the development of the GSSME course.The Academic Plan ModelThis paper is structured around Lattuca and Stark’s (2015) model of an Academic Plan inSociocultural Context, which we used to guide our reflection on the initial implementation of theGSSME course and opportunities for improvement.

On average, each university offers four different programs, demonstrating thediversity and complexity of entrepreneurship program offerings.

This reinforces the notion that creating, facilitating, and integrating careerdevelopment experiences into curriculum is important in development of professional profilesand career interests [28]. Throughout a student’s K20 academic career, integration of positiveexperiences and decisional support will help them to approach career decision-making in a moreorganized manner [29]. Specifically, for traditional students the influence of father and classeswas significant.

Moreover, the learning in capstonedesign is not only related to discipline-based skills and knowledge, but something greater: theapplication and integration of that knowledge into the solution of a new problem, sometimes aspart of a team. This represents the sort of experience students will have as engineers once theygraduate and go on to work. Indeed, capstone design projects have evolved to prepare studentsfor “design and practice” as a supplement to core curriculum focused on “theory and research”[4], and capstone is some students’ first significant

Cognitive approaches such as design and innovative thinkingcan be integrated into the curriculum and can be implemented through active learning and humancentered design methodologies. We incorporated these methodologies into our curricula to preparestudents to address the ever changing and complex environmental challenges that affect society[2].

Further, many students who enter engineering fields site their eagerness todesign and “take things apart” as motivation to pursue engineering. Universities have caught on tothis and made design an integral part of their engineering curriculum. However, we have yet tostudy how

Nevertheless, researchers argue that there is stilla need to develop empirical representations of engineering work and engineers in practice to helpengineering educators design curricula for students [5]. Yet, while studies have investigated theskills students develop in design, research is limited in focus to the design courses themselves[6], [7].The capstone senior design courses are among the main areas in the curriculum where studentsdevelop design skills, integrate technical knowledge from previous courses, and further theirprofessional skills.

University curriculum used to focus heavilyon design and design challenges, typical of industry level engineering. Due to increasing systemcomplexity, engineering curriculums were prompted to add more science and mathematics classesto help students understand needed tools and methods.1 However, over time this produced studentswith a decreasing understanding of the practical applications of engineering and

This normallytakes place after graduation. In order to expose the students to an element of professional tacitknowledge sooner, in lieu of the traditional approaches such as curriculum change and teachertraining, we founded a Para didactic Laboratory at our college
