Discussions with seniors, freshmen, and faculty provided additional data. Informationgained from these sources helped to identify areas that needed improvement; the process wascontinued next time the senior design course was offered.It was noted that the freshmen classes and the senior classes were offered at different times of theday, so there were problems in scheduling meetings in which freshmen and seniors could bothattend conveniently. A group of seniors subsequently made very creative suggestions foreliminating this problem.After both the Freshman and

In each round of this activity, adifferent team member silently reads a short sentence (for example, “The laser cutter is too hot”)and then must communicate that sentence to the other team members with some restrictions(such as not using any of the words in the sentence and not acting anything out). Throughout thevarious rounds of the activity, there will be times in which a given individual knows informationthat the rest of the group does not know and other times in which the individual must “learn”from groupmates.The second activity focuses on the idea of collaboration.

The ways in which engineering students specifically can beinfluenced through entrepreneurship competitions have not been fully exploredthrough systematic research. Engineers could have valuable opportunities to manageentrepreneurial projects if, in addition to their engineering expertise, they learned toplan, develop their creativity and innovation, deal with uncertainty, and evaluatebusiness opportunities [3]. Thus, it is important to analyze the EI of engineeringstudents and take appropriate measures to develop it.

A recent special issue of European Journal of Engineering Educationfocused on inclusive learning environments, and the editors of that issue called for papers that“focused on the cultures and environments of engineering education programmes as the locus ofchange” [4]. Such strides indicate that across engineering, the need to make changes to theculture, not just the representation, has been widely accepted.

A goal of this approach is to create an experiencethat “sticks” with the students as they learn the theories and analytical approaches used toestimate failure loads and soil displacements.

To be most effective, engineers need to recognize these differences.Although cultural differences may be subtle, vast cultural differences are generally present ininternational settings. In particular, as engineers work with developing communities around theglobe, cultural differences are critical. A number of
