Dedicated Curriculum, Space and Faculty: M.Eng. in Technical Entrepreneurship Michael S. Lehman, Lehigh UniversityThe Master's of Engineering in Technical Entrepreneurship (TE), offered through theDepartment of Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics in the P.C. Rossin College ofEngineering and Applied Science at Lehigh University, offers a “dedicated approach” toentrepreneurial engineering education. The residential, full-time, twelve-month program offers adedicated curriculum, a dedicated space and a dedicated faculty. The dedicated curriculum isdelivered through 12 courses in which only TE graduate students are able to enroll; 11 of the 12courses were designed

Thus, the students may strugglewith their misconceptions for a long time, largely hindering the study of further knowledge basedon prior materials, which is especially the case for Statics.4-6 Although the in-person help forhomework assignments can be achieved by required or optional problem sessions, these sessionswould consume extra time of the instructor(s). Many schools start to offer statics as an onlineclass, but it is still delivery as video lecture format,7 and the students still normally work onhomework assignments outside the assigned online lecture period without the instantaneoushelps from the instructor(s).In recent years, flipped classroom (or inverted classroom) approach has been introduced as analternative

theprograms. Some online programming classes can typically have hundreds ofstudents; if 30 assignments are given throughout the semester, this amounts to3000, 6000 or more programs to grade. That’s a lot of programs to grade, nomatter how many TAs there are. Thus, for students of large online courses to getthe practice that they need, some sort of grading automation is necessary.A common problem in computer science courses is the “cascadingmisunderstanding” phenomenon. If a student misunderstands a concept in an earlycourse, s/he may still pass and continue into later courses, compounding themisunderstanding semester after semester. A solution to this problem is a switchto a mastery learning model. With mastery learning, a student cannot move

Inwhat important ways are the discrepancies manifested between ESL and NES summary writingand how they are related to their learning of physics? will also be answered in the futurepublications. The broader collaborative interdisciplinary research project could be conducted tofurther investigate in a larger scale how effectively summary writing can enhance students’learning experience.References 1.
