and an undergraduate degree in politicalscience. We are in the business of helping students develop their methodological toolkits through the liberal arts practices of reflection, insight, and synthesis. Using thesepractices, innovation and entrepreneurship have been integrated into an engineeringcurriculum through a year-long liberal arts seminar at Milwaukee School of Engineering.This three-course freshman-level honors sequence has “The City” as its topical focus.Although we did not set out to create a course in entrepreneurship, the relationshipbetween our intended goals and the tenets of entrepreneurial education became clearwhen we examined the content of our classes in connection with a grant application webecame involved with that

In recent years, several universities have developed undergraduateentrepreneurship programs connected to their schools or colleges of engineering; one suchinitiative is at the University of Maryland Clark School of Engineering, where faculty and staffhave implemented culture building, self-help, and venture formation activities and programs toencourage students and faculty to begin

Thus, it is not the co-existenceof liberal arts and engineering that is the challenge, but rather the size of the liberal arts coreat High Point University and blending this with engineering harmoniously. When the universitychanged the length of the typical course from three semester hours to four in fall 2010, the numberof courses in the core did not substantially change, effectively increasing the size of the core byone third.

The collected data will help us better understand the educational environment andeducational processes3, as well as the actors situated within them. In this paper, we offer ananalysis of pilot data to better understand how the classes might align with desired outcomes -such as student development of self-authorship, reflective practice, and capacity for innovation.Using this analysis, we identify possible implications for (a) adjustment of academic plans, and(b) evaluating and adjusting the educational environment, both described by Lattuca & Stark’smodel.Introduction / Purpose Statement

Such perception of the faculty prevented minority students from asking questions inclass or approaching the faculty for help.” (p. 131)Additionally, Redmond’s [8] case study – in which they re-structured Stanford’s computerscience department to become more inclusive – found that one of the largest impacts on a womanmaintaining interest in computer science is how early she took her introductory computingcoursework. Thus, if women and minorities are mandated to take these introductory coursesearlier in their undergraduate curriculum, retention rates would likely increase. This sentimentwas reflected

As partof our continuous improvement process, external feedback from invited evaluators showed thatthere were issues with gender roles assumed in projects. Women were more likely to take onroles related to communication; men were more likely to go to the shop and build prototypes. Inthe spring of 2014, Rose Marra and Barbara Bogue did an initial diversity study and one of theirfindings was that it was not just an issue of taking on roles, but an issue of inclusivity. Examplesof issues were that women students felt that their voices were not being heard in projectdiscussions and that they were being talked

There are at least two ways I could respond to this question. On onehand, I could respond to the question, “Why attempt to humanize signals and systems?” In doingso, I could demonstrate to the reader how prior scholarship as well as data from my class shouldpersuade them to humanize technical content. This approach is often seen in papers that promotea “best practice”, or a certain technique that may be used in other institutional settings.On the other hand, I could respond to the question, “Why attempt to humanize signals andsystems?” In doing so, I could recognize that many factors, beyond

It was thought that studentswould appreciate the opportunity in an STS course to work on a writing project that was moretechnically oriented and to develop their creativity by coming up with designs for newtechnologies that could help address practical everyday challenges students face.
