new partners or projects eachyear and it adds significant value to the community partners as they know we will work withthem until a project is delivered and then support that project in use. In the 2017-18 academicyear, EPICS recognized four partners for their work and three of them started with the programin the 1990’s showing the longevity of the partnership model.Support StructureDedicated staff support has been put in place to assist the faculty involved and allow the programto engage more students and community partners. The program is designed to make it easier forfaculty to be engaged. Engagement courses typically require significantly more time thantraditional courses with the model that the faculty manage all aspects of the course

the value of entrepreneurship in engineeringeducation and has therefore partnered with the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network(KEEN) to creative entrepreneurial minded (EM) engineers. KEEN has established a skillsetnecessary to be a successful entrepreneurially minded engineer. This skill set allows engineers touse their technical competency to always be searching for the best solution that creates the mostvalue for the customer. The skillset is divided into three main categories, known as the three “C”s-Curiosity, Connections, and Creating Value [1]. The establishment of curiosity and creativity inan engineering student is essential in developing “outside of the box” ideas to solve these grandchallenges, but is often undervalued in

Four groups of students were selected for participation; comparativeanalyses were then carried out to identify the differences between the freshman and seniorgroups and between the students majoring in Civil and Mechanical Engineering. The responsesfrom the freshman groups demonstrated that they are familiar with the term and recognize theimportance of Sustainability, and the responses reflect that their understanding of Sustainabilityis highly associate with the three “R”s (Reducing, Reusing and Recycling).

withthe BeagleBone is that there is no one depository of knowledge, and in that regard, it mirrors thatof the Raspberry Pi. The student had to look at the boot-up configuration files, research the alsa-sound libraries and then had to merge this information with their own application.The hardware implementation is fairly simple, using a pair of Logitech S-150 speakers, just plugthis into the USB port on the BeagleBone (see Figure 5). The student then chose to modify theuEnv.txt (boot-up) configuration file to disable the HDMI interface and enable the USBspeakers.
