Over the past twoyears, multi-source assessment and feedback processes have been used to support students’development of specific design team skills in Columbia’s first year design course and in theUniversity of Pittsburgh's senior level product realization course. Many of these team skills arerelevant to and highly correlated with entrepreneurial behaviors. This paper addresses how theseinnovative, entrepreneurial traits were: a) identified and defined, b) integrated into the students’learning experience, and c) measured and correlated with team project outcomes.Engineering educators are focusing more on the identification

These students thereforeneed only take 4 graduate courses to complete the requirements of the programme.This refining of the graduate programme has led to a concept of a new 5 year M.Sc.programme, where students can enter from High School. Our proposal is outlined below.The Combined ProgrammeThe plan is to offer a combined five year programme offering a B.Sc. Honours/ M.Sc. inMedical and Health Physics/ Health and Radiation Physics. Students will be awarded aB.Sc. Honours Degree in Medical and Health Physics upon satisfactory completion of fouryears of study. Students who maintain a B+ average in

The last assignment was long…For some reason, I don't understand the work when students teache it. That is why I don't understand filtering or histograms.

Our choice ofdata collection method reflects the following assumptions about faculty and their teachingactivities: (a) teaching, and particularly preparation for teaching, tends to be an invisible activityand one that is rarely discussed openly and (b) faculty have few opportunities to talk about theirteaching. Thus, our specific challenge was to find a window into the teaching challenges andconcerns of faculty.The GrantIn June of 2002, we received a
