resulting from the explosion of the global economy in more recentyears. The need to educate engineers that are technically strong and can face the challenges of aglobal economy is a common theme in engineering education.8 Engineers and technologypractitioners create and disseminate the knowledge required to fuel the engine of the globalknowledge economy. Engineering education has an important role to play in sustainablyreducing poverty and enhancing the world´s economies. The resulting enhancement in thequality of life serves to promote stability and peace throughout the world3.

Narrowing the curriculum is not advancing the U.S.’s educational system and isinadequately preparing students to compete in a 21st century world.Lateral TransferRather than reduce the curricula, research indicates that systematically pairing specific subjectsmay improve both learning and motivation. For example, research consistently demonstrates astrong correlation between second language (L2) learning and increased first language ability onstandardized achievement tests. L2 learners have greater: syntactic awareness (Bialystock, 1988,Galambos & Goldin-Meadow); phonological awareness (Bruck & Genesse, 1995; Campbell &

There areseveral ways of measuring the creative outcome of a concept. Shah et al.’s novelty metric36 iscommonly used in engineering and was thus chosen for the innovative measurement criteria ofthis study. Before the metrics could be applied, each concept was analyzed holistically anddecomposed into a set of features. Once a set of features was identified it was then divided into a

The editor was Barry Crittenden and the designer was Peter Miller.This logo was used fairly consistently through 1993. In 1993 a contest was held and a new logoselected.

Heating one end of the unit cell while holding the other end cooler induceselectromotive force within the material and may be harnessed for electrical power2.

Thesecond study, conducted by Korte et al. in 2008, looked at 17 new engineers at a large,international car manufacturer which they termed Big Car Company. Like Polach, they showedthat new engineers in this organization relied heavily on coworkers for help and that anunderstanding of the larger organization was crucial to the understanding of their own day-to-daywork.6 Viewing these findings in terms of supports and barriers, high-quality relationships withcoworkers and an understanding of “the big picture”6 could be considered supports for newengineers while the lack of either could be considered barriers.

In addition,Bandura9 showed that self-efficacy beliefs impact performance because these beliefs representpeople‟s perception of their capabilities to perform a task at designated levels. These researchershave provided empirical data on causal or correlational relationships between self-efficacy andepistemic beliefs and self-regulated behaviors and performance in subjects such as mathematics5,10 .During problem solving, students assess the difficulty of the task while disambiguating theimportant from irrelevant information.

, journals and funded projects. Engineering curricula are crowded, however, and leave little room for new courses. Beginning with the “writing across the curriculum” movement in the 1980’s, the literature reveals that many disciplines have mounted “across the curriculum” movements. These include writing, mathematics, critical thinking, citizenship, ethics and other fields. Given crowded engineering curricula, an “across the curriculum” approach is a logical means to address the need to add entrepreneurial thinking without adding additional courses. Measurement tools are a critical requirement to assess the efficacy or any curriculum intervention. This is especially true when dealing with a new and
