students designed for seeding entrepreneurship and researching technologies thathave direct impact on local communities in Montana by partnering with non-profit organizations,as well as public and private high technology companies. It is a platform that provides thenecessary processes and environment to deliver real products. It is about learning, sharing andgrowing entrepreneurial ideas that span the causal chain from inception to deployment, but notcommercialization. The Software Factory brings together students and experiencedprofessionals enabling unique cooperative projects that serve as incubation points for new ideasand technology innovation. The idea of a Software Factory approach for MSU was developed by working in
engineering students through engagement in innovation and entrepreneurship, and a Co-PI for an i6 Challenge grant through the U.S. Economic Development Admin- istration (EDA) to foster regional economic development through innovation and new business start-ups. She is institutional integrator for the Partnership for the Advancement of Engineering Education (PACE) at NMSU. She is also co-lead for a NSF funded Pathways to Innovation cohort at NMSU with a focus on integrating innovation and entrepreneurship into the engineering curriculum through a blending of indus- try and educational experiences.

Education, 2016 Creation and Implementation of an Open Ended Design Course for a High School Summer STEM Program (Evaluation)AbstractThis evaluation paper discusses the design of a new six week course in the Cooper UnionSummer science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) Program for high school students.Existing courses in the program focused on a single engineering discipline (electrical, chemical,mechanical, or civil) with well-defined projects chosen by the professor. The new course focusedon open-ended engineering design and multidisciplinary entrepreneurship. Most courses at thehigh school level utilize a clear design goal so that students can spend their time in design of asolution and construction. However, there are
curricula.Since its launch, TeachEngineering has been a multi-university collaboration.8 At present, theproject is based at the University of Colorado Boulder with collaboration from Oregon StateUniversity. The University of Colorado Boulder is also home to a customizable, design-basedengineering program, Engineering Plus, that (among dozens of other possibilities) facilitatesconcurrent secondary math or science teacher-licensure preparation through CU TeachEngineering, an engineering-degree based branch of the university’s UTeach program. In itsearly education course in-class practicums, undergraduate engineering students in CU TeachEngineering use curriculum from the TeachEngineering digital library.
