@uce.edu.ecAbstractThis study focuses on testing a pedagogical model designed to foster collaborativeentrepreneurship competencies in students pursuing technical careers. Entrepreneurship as a keycompetence for the economic and social progress of the country. However, the current training intechnical careers does not adequately cover the collaborative skills associated withentrepreneurship. The general objective was to test Moscoso´s pedagogical model that integratesspecific competencies, such as leadership, team communication, and team mediation, within thecurriculum of technical careers. The specific objectives focused on designing and proposing apedagogical model for the development of each of these competencies, comparing responses to aquestionnaire applied

should be fully accounted for.Fatigue damage occurs at stresses lower than the material’s yield stress level. Therelationship between the stress in the material (at the stress concentration) and the time tofailure is expressed in a S-N curve, or σ-N curve. Some engineering structural materials(most steels) exhibit a plateau behavior at a given stress level below which they areconsidered to have infinite life – referred to as the endurance limit. Maximum stressesfor many loaded geometries occurs at the surface of the material, where surface finish hasa significant effect on the fatigue strength.Since the problem stated that the bar was to be used in an application where loads werevarying, we may well have a situation where dynamic fatigue loads

Con-sequently, the average magnitude can be used to distinguish between consonants and vowels.Consonants, on the other hand, often have higher frequencies associated with them. The hissingsound inherent in the “s” phoneme is an example. These two parameters provide a wealth of in-formation about speech waveforms.Computing a parameter for the segments in a word results in a short sequence of scalars, onescalar per segment, which uniquely characterizes a particular word. Whereas a one-second wave-form sampled at 8000 times per second contains 8000 data points, a parameter vector may be asshort as ten or twenty elements. This data reduction is a crucial part of time domain speech proc-essing.In addition to

However, when we think of innovation, are we overlooking something, is it justinnovation in the narrow context of new inventions? If we accept the broader definitionof innovation, “…act or process of inventing or introducing something new”, we reallymay be on to something. In other words we don’t have to invent a new widget to beinnovative, we might simply improve (optimize) the widget’s design, performance,durability, and manufacturing process.

Early on, they wereexposed to a simple pumping system in which they could take pressure and flow measurements,and apply their newly acquired fluid dynamics knowledge. Throughout the course, the studentsgained valuable group work and laboratory experience when they analyzed and designed theirown kidney-dialysis systems. The project given to the students was in three parts, as follows: 1.

One may for example begin immediately with introductions all around andask each person to tell something personal about themselves (where they’re from, hobbies or sideinterests, etc.) Once the introductions are complete, the faculty member may encourage thestudents to ask questions or ask questions that s/he thinks would be of interest to them to get theconversation going.
