The conclusion is similar to that reached in the pilot study5, which stated thatstatistics experience does not play a vital role in the SCI score for students in an introductorystatistics course. However, data from Fall 2003 yield significant correlations of SCI Pre-Testwith overall course grade for two courses. The magnitudes of the correlations are similar to theSummer 2003 Engr course, but the larger sample sizes make the Fall 2003 correlationssignificant.ReliabilityA reliable instrument is one in which measurement error is small, which can also be stated as theextent that the instrument is repeatable7.

The students pursue their ownentrepreneurial ideas and work in teams. These teams are not restricted to the students in theclass. They can be virtual teams including external experts as members of the start-upmanagement team or the board of advisors. The enthusiasm in these EngineeringEntrepreneurship classes has been observed to be very high - students sometimes arrive an hourbefore the start of class and often stay over late, huddling and hustling, working in small groupson projects, networking with guest speakers

Forgasz et al. [20] emphasize that STEM fields,especially mathematics, science, and computing, are globally and locally perceived as male-dominated fields. This view likely discourages Middle Eastern women from continuing in thesefields and leads to the continuation of their underrepresentation.

The laboratory experiment presented here tries toaddress some of the issues that are not covered in depth in common linear voltage regulatorexperiments.
