These are necessary ingredients of all successful technical business ventures, regardless of size. Student teams of 2-3 will apply their engineering skills and abilities in a business environment to identify innovative product/process opportunity/opportunities, investigate the potential for an entrepreneurial business opportunity, keeping in mind the differences between an "idea" and

It was initially thought that the articles could serve as an introduction and instill potential excitement in topics, however student feedback suggests that article comprehension levels are higher when read after topic coverage. 4. Articles from practitioners, articles covering topics students have a high familiarity with, and case studies will be included. An attempt will be made to find articles which could allow for “debate” type sessions to occur, based on student requests of this nature. 5.

The engineering emphasis area provides students with upper-division courseworkin a single discipline and enables them to pursue graduate studies within that discipline if theydesire. As part of the new BSE program requirements, students are also required to completedirected electives, in an area generally outside of engineering itself.
