Enablingstudents to practice self-directed learning, to find solutions to design problems that aresustainable, and helping them to recognize that they are part of a global community are just a fewof our educational goals. Engineering and engineering technology programs must offer a relevantand validated curriculum that prepares students for post-graduation success. Courses that covertraditional subject matter in mathematics, sciences, economics and other related topics providethe foundation of knowledge upon which specific skill sets are added. However, it

The prospect of forming relationships within [the engineering]industry should be [of] huge interest to undergrads looking to do research because it gets yourfoot in the door and can lead to even bigger opportunities down the line. I have many academic and personal life goals that stemmed from the education I got atPrincipia College (as well as from Cal Poly). Currently, my main academic interests areergonomics, lean manufacturing, and sustainability/zero-waste. I hope that when I graduate, Ican do something along the lines of...supply chain management and increasing productivity for acompany that revolves around those academic interests.* California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, CA** Summer

Theprimary purpose of this evaluation is to determine how well the Entrepreneurs Program is meeting its objectivesand other SUCCEED deliverables. The approach to engineering education undertaken by the Entrepreneurs Program is relatively unusual inthat it includes students at all academic levels participating on design teams. A few others have had success witha similar approach.

].Additionally, projects that deal with poverty provide obvious answers to students struggling withthe question, “Why am I studying engineering?”Many Engineering programs are becoming interested in including an international servicelearning project into the school’s curriculum [1-9, 11, 12, 14-22]. There are many components ina typical international service learning experience that can benefit both the students and theschool [10, 13]. One of the first and well documented benefits comes from the value that projectbased course work adds to the students experience.
