On another note, one of the barriers to attractingstudents from across campus into entrepreneurship courses can be pre-requisites. Almost all ofBelmont’s courses are experiential in nature in the sense that their students work on projectsdirectly related to their businesses, their ideas for businesses, or from their area of interest, suchas music, art, health sciences, history, English.At Belmont, entrepreneurship programs reach students across campus by offering specializedlectures and even specific courses within various programs. Their professors often integrateassignments in their classes around the entrepreneurship topics covered in these

It is a required class for Mechanical, Civil, and Industrial engineering students and it isopen to other engineering majors as an elective. There are typically forty students per classsection, and in recent years four to six sections of the class are offered in each term, taught bytwo to four faculty members. The total enrollment has been growing and is close to 400 for thecurrent academic year. Despite being offered as a first-year course, ME 250’s enrollmenttypically includes students from all years.

Today, I feel confident in my understanding of"why" we have intellectual property, "what" can be protected, as well as the "law" that mightplay out in a courtroom. However, I would have preferred a class geared more towards appliedIP with a greater focus on "how" to obtain protection, rather than how to defend it in a courtroom (though we did cover it all lightly). That is, the class provided me with more of the "law"understanding than I think I need at this time, and not quite enough of the steps towardsobtaining protection.I wouldn't expect the professor to change the course in any way because it's

In addition, a critical need to reestablishworld-class manufacturing in a number of industries within the U.S. points to a growing need fora redefined and larger mechanical engineering technology educational venue.The reasons for re-thinking engineering education are compelling. Mechanical engineering andmechanical engineering technology program content and attendant populations have to respondto future workforce needs, either by resizing or restructuring.

conventional mechanical engineering curriculum.What is more surprising is the relative dearth of credits dedicated to Dynamic Systems andControls (3.6 credits), historically a major component of many degree programs. However, someof this education might have moved into experimentation or electronics courses (in the form ofmechatronics). As discussed below, this overlap of concepts between courses makes it difficultto make definitive conclusions from the data in Table 2, but the sparsity of the matrix may stillbe instructive. For instance, while Georgia Tech has at least one dedicated class in each subjectarea, Stanford has four subject areas without an associated course. This may indicate that theStanford program’s heavy emphasis on design courses

classes and engineering. That is, it is important to create linksbetween non-technical courses and the engineering thought process in order for the student tounderstand how non-technical topics (economics, entrepreneurship, business modeling, ethics,political science, psychology, and global competitiveness) affect an engineer’s job. For example,an engineer can use a basic knowledge of psychology to learn how to empathize with the end userof a product. This in turn will help the engineer become more creative by understanding how hisdesign is perceived by other people. The downside is that the introduction of non-technicalcourses is constrained by credit hours. If a department wishes to pursue this option, it must decidewhat portions of its current

The goal of the study is to see if there is any information in thestudents’ non-academic profiles that can help determine why a student may havesucceeded in engineering at DU or decided to leave. A future objective will also address thepossibility of using the profiles of students to help move towards personalized learning inorder to aid in retention of students within the program.IntroductionSince the 1980s interest in engineering, along with other technical careers, has been on
