addition, many mathematics faculty also lack knowledge of the applications of theintroductory mathematics materials they teach. Many textbooks still do not provide agood source of up-to-date applications of the concepts that are covered. In addition, manymathematicians have had little exposure in their education to such application fields suchas engineering and other sciences and thus have little knowledge to offer students in theseareas.In an attempt to alleviate this problem, a collaborative effort among the mathematics,electrical engineering, industrial engineering, and mechanical engineering departments atNorth Carolina A&T State University entitled, “Enhance mathematics courses throughengineering applications,” is currently being

Coupled with the WWW are the related critical areas of datamanagement, collaborative efforts, and associated niche issues such as data exchange standardsand developments. Engineering design programs have long advocated the importance of teammethodology and concurrent engineering, with common data access, so the step to include thesenew areas should be logical and reasonable. Unfortunately, they will most likely be difficult toincorporate into existing academic programs. To provide realistic training in collaborativeengineering and the Web, for example, programs will need to provide for more cross-functionaland cooperative learning activities, where students from various majors, and even differentcampuses or

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

Allied with this fact, the evaluations of these students are also traditional,based on tests and descriptive evaluations. In Brazil, this scenario is prevalent because theresources designated to public universities for investments and improvements in teaching andlearning are limited.From traditional teaching methodologies, the development of professional skills can also becompromised [11].
