the information that can be gleaned from these data is in directtension with the significant potential for negative impact on individuals from the associated lossof privacy and a diminishing “right to be forgotten.” 16 This tension is itself an area of newscholarship as legal, ethical and social scholars explore the nature, value, and ownership ofpersonal digital information.Disruptive Innovation A disruptive innovation is one that changes the value proposition in an existing market tosuch an extent that existing market leaders are displaced by newcomers who have been earlyadopters of the disrupting innovation. Interestingly, case studies of disruptive innovation showthat the existing market leaders are typically aware of the
fundamentals portion of the class, which occurs threes time per week and isled by a faculty member, students are introduced to engineering problem solving; get exposed toengineering ethics; and learn how to use computer software for word processing, spreadsheets,and programming in C/C++ and MATLAB. In the laboratory portion of the class, which occursonce per week and is led by a graduate teaching associate (GTA), students conduct bench-topexperiments to investigate fundamental engineering concepts, with a variety of experiences tointroduce elements of each of the engineering disciplines in which a student could choose tomajor. Lab reports or lab memos are assigned most weeks to develop technical writtencommunication skills. Several of the lab reports
included making sure that students hadexperience with team diversity and conflict. Five of the participants reported that their team hadnot been “in sync.” Two other participants reported that their teams were split on whether tolaunch their project as a startup. As one participant reported, their team’s dynamics started on theright path but did not go as well toward the end of the project. The goal, he said, was to get thegrade and not to pursue the project. As another participant put it, his assigned team had noguarantee of a common work ethic or a common vision.A third factor involves lack of passion for the project. These results were aggregated into the“not among students’ main goals” factor in Fig. 1 but are striking enough to merit

The PI and program manager acted only to keep the discussion on topicand ensure that all students had an opportunity to speak if they wished to do so. Seminars on twice-exceptional education and creativity were included. Workshops were presented on responsibleconduct of research and ethics, graduate school, preparing for the GRE exam, and technicalwriting. Preparation for graduate school was a key theme throughout the program; the topic wasaddressed in several workshops, brainstorming meetings and seminars.

This support of student internships is critical, as thenational trend is for increased student participation in internship or cooperative educationprograms. “In 1980, about one out of every 36 college students completed an internship prior tograduation. This increased to three out of four by the year 2000.” (Hurst 58)Prior to fall 2014, most divisional internship and co-op records were paper based.

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.

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.
