Consciousness Competency. In the United States entrepreneurial training was starting toget introduced across colleges and universities in the 1970’s. Since then entrepreneurshipeducation and training programs have expanded and been adopted in several more college anduniversity curricula in recent years. It is estimated that 80% of all U.S. colleges and universitiesat present implement such programs [3]. Entrepreneurship for most of the students is a newexperience. The benefits it offers includes the opportunity to acquire new skills and experience,access to knowledge and tools related to establishing and operating companies, decision makingand negotiations, project management and team working and bearing consequences of undesiredoutcomes.

industry. Dominant first year engineering programs create team-based fundamental engineering courses to develop students’ ability to work in a team. Thenumber of foreign students studying at American higher educational institutions is consistentlyincreasing and they possess unique cultures influencing the study and experience of domesticstudents. In this study, we focus on teamwork and peer assessment behaviors of multi-culturalteams as compared to domestic [U.S.] teams in a large Midwestern first year engineeringprogram. Our research question is: do teams containing one or more international student(s)have, on average, different peer rating behaviors from teams containing only domestic students?We find significant peer evaluation differences in

Also there are several other criteria we would like to evaluate as outcomes between LLCstudents and Non-LLC students in the future project.Reference:[1] Gabelnick, F., MacGregor, J., Matthews, R.

generation from a majorityof these sources is based on either of the two main thermodynamic cycles: Rankine and Braytoncycles. To help understand the working of these cycle and the components involved in the powergeneration process, an animation is added that explains the working of each of the cycles on a step-by-step basis. Simultaneous to the animation, the thermodynamic graphs (h-s and P-v charts) usedin textbooks to explain the processes are also shown as animations, which helps the participantunderstand the process thoroughly. The charts provide the properties (temperatures, pressures, andspecific volume) of the working fluid, which aids in design calculations required to achieve thedesired power output.

of MaterialsAbstractStudents often have far less conceptual understanding in core engineering courses thanfaculty assume. The first wide-spread application of the Force Concept Inventory in theearly 1980’s highlighted students’ lack of understanding in fundamental physicsprinciples. Recently, educators have been reevaluating student understanding of conceptsin the standard science and engineering curriculum using concept inventory instrumentsin topics such as thermodynamics, mechanics, and fluid mechanics. The objective of thisstudy is to develop a methodology to observe specific examples of difficulty inconceptual understanding which could be used to infer specific student misconceptions.To achieve this task a pilot study was undertaken
