university personnel at my 2-Year College. I talked with an academic advisor/counselor at our university about courses I needed to transfer to our university. I got information about financial aid at our university from our university personnel. I stayed overnight on the our university campus before applying to our university. I participated in an Open House event on our university campus.17. How would you rate your 2-Year College with respect to each of the following aspects of yourtransfer experience?: Scale 0 to 4 {0 = Don’t know; 1 = Needs much improvement; 2 = Needs some improvement; 3 = Satisfactory; 4 = Outstanding} a. Availability of good information about transfer requirements b. Availability of advising and

further improving thesemodules.High level summaries of Modules 1 through 3 are included in Appendix B, the initial plan was tohave these modules interjected respectively at each design phase. In reality seeds of teambuilding were needed in the beginning phases of the design process. Related to Tuckman’stheory on team development, it is during the forming and the norming stages that directintervention could be most effective [6]. Yet we also see the possibility of having a fourthmodule that might help sustain the team’s momentum in the performing stage. Though studentsare giving responses to the module in a team setting/context, what is operationalized in the studyis the individual as a team member. Therefore, the distinction here is the focus on

literature toidentify key components of the entrepreneurial mindset. As Figure 1 shows, this review was inthe disciplinary areas of a) education or learning theory b) engineering education and c) businessmanagement.Fig1: Disciplinary areas for literature reviewThe first stage yielded the identification of key components that define these three disciplinaryareas. These involved elements such as: risk tolerance, empathy, pro-activity, co-regulation, etc.We could find homologues in entrepreneurship and learning theory. Nonetheless, there weregaps as it related specifically to engineering education. Therefore, as Figure 2 shows, we neededto triangulate this information with sources derived from praxis like the perceptions of students,instructors, and

professional responsibility may be tied to: (a) the perceived impact of nuclearengineering (to what one should respond), and (b) the perceived autonomy in making the designdecisions in technology development (whether one can respond). The former requires an effort todevelop well-integrated understanding of the systems - of actors, issues, and causal relations - thathelp visualize and anticipate the impact of design decisions. The latter makes it important forengineering ethics education to build practical skills suited to specific engineering workplaceenvironments.Strong public opinions have always been part of the discourses around nuclear power, and it is notsurprising that the public takes an important part of students’ perceived world of

blind spot [35]. An expert identifies the type of problemwith ease and without conscious thought [36]. Because problem identification occurs so easilyand naturally, the expert may never mention that they first had to identify the problem type norexplain how they made that identification. Instead, the expert immediately starts to implementthe general procedure for solving that type of problem. In this way, the procedure is notexplicitly mentioned or taught and it is not associated with the type of the problem. Instead it ispresented implicitly so that the student is left to (a) generalize the steps in the solution processfrom watching the expert apply them and then (b) associate those steps with that particularproblem type. Some experts describe
