tocompetitively apply for funding opportunities to embark on such an enterprise. The venturecapital fund was created by a grant from the National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alli-ance, an initiative of the Lemelson Foundation.The Venture Capital Fund for the Junior Engineering ClinicThe Junior Clinic features a mixture of projects funded by industry and faculty research interests.Clearly, projects such as these are central to developing the design and problem solving skills thatare lacking in the typical engineering curriculum. What is often missing, however, in the industryand faculty-created design projects, is the spirit of invention, innovation and entrepreneurship.The spirit of entrepreneurship is best promoted by providing students with the
thecommitment to re-vamp existing curriculums, plus providing class time for the corporate andprovider individuals to allow all-student inter-action. For the corporation it’s the commitment todevoting a portion of their time toward potential future product development at the expense ofmore near-term profit pursuits. For the product provider, it’s the commitment to reduce theircaseload in order to provide the time required for consulting sessions and reviews. A Corporaterepresentative was given time by the faculty to meet with the students immediately after theirreviews. The Corporation agreed to have an individual remain after the review presentations forsubsequent student interfacing. The Audiologist volunteered to not accept patient

: Interview protocol developmentAbstractIn this work-in-progress, we develop an interview protocol to study collaborative behavior in designspaces and in relation to the affordances of the infrastructure of the design space. Although it may soundintuitive that design spaces exist to promote collaboration, this study is motivated by the observation thatneither faculty nor students are efficacious in optimally reconfiguring design spaces. We seek tounderstand the relationship between self-efficacy in reconfiguring design spaces by students and faculty,as users of the space, and their perceived importance of reconfiguring the space to promote collaboration.The initial conditions of the collaboration space should never hinder the creativity in the design

Aherne, 3 M. I. Mendelson 4 University of South Carolina 1/ Purdue University 2/ University of Alberta 3 Loyola Marymount University 4AbstractThere is growing recognition worldwide that traditional graduate engineering education neitherfits the engineering innovation process necessary for competitiveness in the global economy norreflects the way that graduate engineers and technologists learn and develop as
in a particular field [e.g., 19]. Similarly,students’ skills development in a particular field are outlined in the curriculum and assessedagainst specific learning objectives. There are general skills (often called transferable skills) aswell as domain-specific skills. An individual’s skills proficiency can be judged by the results oftasks performed. It can be judged on the continuum from low to high.Thinking, skill, and knowledge interact with each other to control students’ career or vocationaldevelopment. But literacy can also be thought of as having three interdependent dimensions:knowledge, capabilities, and ways of thinking and decision making [e.g., 40]. Literacy, then, isbest conceptualized as including three dimensions of literacy

Development and Delivery of a Project-Based Introductory Engineering Course for Online Delivery Christa James-Byrnes, Mark Holdhusen University of WisconsinIntroductionEngineering education is increasingly moving to nontraditional delivery modes, especially onlinedelivery. Over 5.6 million students in the United States took at least one online course in the fall2009 term.1 This represents a 21 percent growth rate while there was only a 2 percent growthrate for higher education student population.1 With this movement comes the challenge to meetthe quality offered by traditional face-to-face instruction. In the online environment, it is

Using artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) as an area of application forengineering students involved in community development, the paper first describes thecharacteristics that communities should exhibit and what they should expect of engineers inorder to achieve community resiliency. Second, it outlines criteria that engineering studentsshould adopt as behavioral guidelines in order to act in a socially responsible way. Third, itdescribes criteria that engineering projects should have in order to contribute to sustainablecommunity development. Fourth, it describes the integration of these two set of criteria in theengineering curriculum in order to develop conceptual understanding and practical skills thatengineering students

Also, Campbell & Wilson [10] recommended including care ethicsin the engineering curriculum via topics of humanitarian engineering. Finally, Sunderland etal.
