offour semesters at IRE, the students are required to write four technical reports describing allaspect of the design projects in addition to writing business plan, personal improvement plan andexperiment reports for all the technical competencies. The IRE students graduate with a Bachelorof Science in general engineering from Minnesota State University, Mankato.The goal of the program is to producing graduates with significant integrated technical andprofessional knowledge and skills who will help the economic development of the region. Themajority of the student learning occurs in the context of industry engineering projects, in contrastto the traditional distinctly topical engineering classes. The IRE program values skills such asstrong

He received his MS and PhD degrees in computer science from the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign, and his BS in computer science and engineering from The University of Toledo. His areas of research include simplifying the outcomes assessment process, first-year engineering instruction, and the pedagogical aspects of writing computer games. John
an accomplished educator. Her dedication in promoting women in engineering was recognized by an IEEE Region 1 Award in 1998, an IEEE Regional Activity Board Achievement Award also in 1998 and an IEEE Third Millennium Medal Award in 2000. In 2004, together with Dr. Serge Luryi, Dr. Tang initiated a project that promotes entrepreneurship in engineering education in collaboration with three other higher education institutions on Long Island. For their pioneering contributions, the IEEE Long Island Section awarded Dr. Luryi and Dr. Tang, the Athanasios Papoulis Education Award in 2006. Dr. Tang is currently the Associate Chair for the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. She also serves as the Faculty
disciplines are divided into distinct departments (i.e. Mathematics,Biology, Philosophy, etc.) where the students take the majority of their classes in a particulardepartment. In today’s competitive job market and with the rapid advances in the fields ofscience and technology, a traditional academic curriculum might not be enough to prepare thestudents for their career endeavors. Students will need a broader set of skills and knowledge tosucceed in the scientific arena. A more relevant approach would be to combine differentdisciplines and create a multidisciplinary or interdisciplinary program. Combining scientificknowledge with information systems tools, technology innovation and business practices willprovide the students with a broader spectrum of

Of the initial 14 students, six continued with theprogram until completion, earning their certificate at the conclusion of the spring 2005 semester.During each of the following four semesters, a number of new students began taking courses.Some took the full number of courses required for the Certificate, while some only took one ortwo courses that piqued their interest. After presenting the first five courses towards thecertificate program, the plan was to begin repeating the courses. However, in the sixth semesterwhen the Technical Entrepreneurship class was repeated, it became evident

These processes and the memo externalize specific aspects ofmetacognition including awareness of actions and reflection on what one knows and doesn’t.Beyond the general challenges of self-regulating their learning, students find it particularlychallenging to manage their time.The IRE students choose their own emphasis for the degree, by enrolling in specificcompetencies or projects. This not only increases students’ interests and motivation but alsoprovides an environment for deeper learning and longer retention of the material. At IRE, thereare no classes
