demanding, to achieve it all in one single three credit course. Thisbecomes clearer when described in the context of the taxonomy for educational objectivesprepared by Anderson et al.7. They use a 2 dimensional noun-verb matrix to identify the level ofa given objective, in terms of the required knowledge (A. Factual; B. Conceptual; C. Procedural;and D. Meta-Cognitive) and cognitive process (1. Remember; 2. Understand; 3. Apply; 4.Analyze; 5. Evaluate; and 6. Create). The higher alphanumeric value represents a higher level ofcomplexity7. The mapping for our course is as follows: High School course to levels (A and B,6); Undergraduate course to levels (B and C, 5 and 6); and Graduate course to levels (C and D,3).

The requirements of the student’s major program, of course, varydepending on the particular major. For example, the CSE major consists of required and electivecourses in a range of topics from software design principles and practices to algorithms, fromcomputer systems and architectures to computer networking, from AI to computer graphics andvideo game design; and a culminating capstone project course which may, for example, consist ofdesigning and implementing a set of web services to meet the requirements of a real client.The entrepreneurship minor, offered in the business school, specialized for

. Richard Paul’s Taxonomy of Socratic Questions is very well knownand is reproduced in Appendix B (Paul, 1995). Some researchers have also suggested that the learners should not the held responsible forpoor quality (Saxe, 1990). Instead, the structure of the system and the mechanics ofmanagement must be blamed for inadequate knowledge acquisition and unacceptableperformance outcomes (Senge, 1990). Researchers have further indicated that a courseportfolio should be treated essentially, like a manuscript of scholarly work in progress. In otherwords, a course portfolio can be deemed as a work that explains what, how, and why studentslearn or do not learn in a course (Sims, 1992). Educators Clifford O.

Course gradingis based on attendance and participation in class activities, homework assignments, off-classactivities, and projects. Peer evaluation (three types, see Appendix B) and presentations play animportant role in grading as well.

collaborative learning (ACL) and problem-based learning (PBL) have beeneffectively implemented at the college-level for many years, their widespread use in engineeringeducation is a more recent development. Research has shown that ACL and PBL allow forhigher critical thinking, reasoning, achievement, and retention in students. In addition, becauseACL and PBL typically require teamwork, communication, and tolerance for ambiguity amongother aspects, they are also an ideal vehicle for instilling the attributes of the entrepreneurialmindset in students.Lawrence Technological University implemented a six year process to modify 75% of thecourses in the engineering curriculum to include ACL and PBL. Besides traditional engineeringcourses, such as statics and
