education hasalso migrated to engineering schools 2-7. This seems to be a logical development. In fact, it hasbeen reported that engineering entrepreneurship graduates have more new business start-ups thantheir business school counter-parts 8. Meanwhile, educators have voiced different opinions on what should be taught inentrepreneurship programs 9-12. The modality of delivery and the objectives of entrepreneurshipeducation is another area of lively discussion 11-18. Learning style is a much covered field ineducation 19. Matching teaching with learning style has also been addressed in the literature 20.While it is important that there is substantive content in any educational program, perhaps themore interesting question for educators in

to buildconceptions of the important programming concepts they are required to learn [11]. Becausemany text-based languages use syntax that incorporates many English language terms, studentsoften resort, incorrectly, to using the models they have developed for the natural language use ofthese terms. This poses a significant problem for some terms because the model for how theword is used in natural language differs from how it is used in a programming context.For example, in natural language, the term “while” has a slightly different meaning than it doesin programming usage. In natural language, “while” implies that as soon as the condition tied toa statement is no longer satisfied, the activity will cease. From a programming point of view

applied due to inherentassumptions that are inaccurate enough to cause problems in the “real world.” This focus onmodeling is commonly implicit in engineering curricula [6], [7], but research has shown thatstudents best learn modeling practices through their explicit inclusion in the curriculum [8].One approach to explicitly incorporating mathematical modeling into undergraduate engineeringeducation is through Model-Eliciting Activities [9]. Instead of an instructor-centered pedagogy,Model-Eliciting Activities are student-centered activities in which students work in a small groupto develop mathematical models that describe a particular problem. These activities “requirestudents to mathematize (e.g. quantify, organize, dimensionalize) a situation

Particularly, EML builds upon active pedagogies such as PBL by integratingcuriosity, identifying opportunity, and creating value [6].

Development of the fournon-preferred types is possible and generally increases with age. Environmental effects (such asrequirements at work or responsibilities at home) can aid in this development and push anindividual to engage their non-preferred type. Understanding their MBTI type can allowindividuals to target this development process to the types they find most difficult to engagewithin a team environment and help team interactions go more smoothly.4Unfortunately, many studies use MBTI type in ways in which it was not intended to be used,such as to assign

We refer to the general study of how program curriculaimpact student academic success as curricular analytics. Research in this area demonstrates thataccording to these complexity metrics, engineering programs tend to be among the most complexcurricula at a university.
