company’s entrepreneurship perceptions can also improve the coaching provided byeducators.There are established companies who may or may not view themselves as entrepreneurial butsupport the entrepreneurial mindset through programs and initiatives. Google and 3M areexamples of companies with such established programs. One survey respondent said, “Given thetype of organization we are, [entrepreneurial experience] is not a must have trait for hiring newemployees. With that said, our company every year has an entrepreneurial incubator program fornew ideas and services to which we commit real resources... One of the programs that Iencouraged and mentored a junior staff member to participate in is drone applications andservices. He and his partner in

The course met for 100 minutes twice a week for 10 weeks.The course content was defined by the instructors, but the instruction was (to a high degree)tailored to the understanding of the students because it was the students themselves whodesigned the instruction. The course focus was on reflective practice and on findings fromcognitive science and education research and their application to engineering teaching andlearning. Throughout the quarter, we tried to maintain a tension between theory and practice. Onthe theory side, students became familiar with conceptual change, memory, motivation, and otherlearning concepts. On the practice side, students were exposed to innovative teaching methodsthrough the example

Then,the WiFi module is instructed to connect to the internet, and the program waits until theconnection is complete. After a connection is made, the firmware waits until a user connects tothe webcam streaming website (i.e. a client opens a websocket connection to the server). Oncethat happens, the firmware grabs images from the camera module, writes them to the WiFimodule, and streams them to the website.While all of these operations are looping, there is an asynchronous button that allows the camerato be provisioned to a new WiFi network. The firmware must detect this press at any time and putthe WiFi module into provisioning

The broader impacts of the proposed activity will be the implementation of a set of fullydeveloped case studies for civil engineering education. Based on survey returns from theparticipants selected for the pilot workshop, each of the 60 faculty can expect to directlyinfluence an average of 3.2 courses and 215 students in the two years following workshopattendance. Thus, the broader impact will be approximately 190 courses and 13,000 studentsacross the U.S. Furthermore, students will participate in this program developing case studies Page 12.276.2under the
