Enterprise in the United StatesCurrently, large research-based engineering schools, such as the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), are trying to incorporate more project-based learning (PBL) intoengineering curricula. However, integrating PBL proves to be a challenge, especially in largelecture classes typically required for freshmen and sophomore engineers. Junior Enterprise (JE),a student-led non-profit consulting organization comprised of undergraduate and graduatestudents, provides a solution to this problem. Students work on projects together to provideservices to companies and institutions, enhancing students’ business and entrepreneurial skillsthrough practical application of classroom learning. In 2012, the first United

Well-designed cooperative work experienceprograms provide training that compliments in-class and in-lab learning in the academicenvironment [3].At the international level, limited resources and unpredictable business climates pose a problemfor setting up co-ops/internships with biomedical device manufacturers. Small city locations andhospitals face similar problems especially in countries with limited resources and absence ofmedical device manufacturers. Despite these constraints
