Despite the personal flair, companyobjectives for achieving a world-class quality of excellence still share the commonfundamental concepts and philosophies espoused by world quality leaders as Deming,Duran, Shewhart, and Taguchi. The summary of these objectives for total qualitymanagement in concurrent engineering environment is as follows:1.

There are some apparent core topics inserted in the frameworks, such as basic science, math skills, communication skills, employability skills and entrepreneurship, but they are not consistently present in all programs (nor they are all relevant to modern manufacturing). 2. There are some potential core topics, such as manufacturing overview, production, safety and quality, that are absent in most programs. 3. The language used to describe the learning goals is inconsistent and is not expressed in a more contemporary performance-based language. Some

There are competinginterests between critiques of globalization as a phenomenon and neoliberal policies andpractices in particular and multinational corporations that sponsor or participate and many ofthese programs. This raises a point that sociologist of the professions Robert Zussman made inhis 1985 book, Mechanics of the Middle Class, that because engineers are embedded in industry,or in the military, they typically serve the ends of profit-making, or defense, and it has nottraditionally been considered a professional duty to question those ends.10Programs for Global Studies in EngineeringSome institutions have developed concentrations or degrees with a global perspective onengineering. The University of Colorado at Boulder has a
. (Chisman, 1987).At a number of universities, communication skills are taught in isolated classes, separate fromthe rest of the engineering curriculum. Other schools have chosen a “writing across thediscipline” approach, to partner with a writing center, or to use a writing consultant (Walker,2000). An example of a communication skills development program is the WritetalkCommunication System (WCS), which was developed by the engineering departments at TempleUniversity, in conjunction with an outside consultant. The WCS was developed to address someof the most important communication skills required for a successful engineering career. Thepurpose of the WCS is to increase both student and faculty awareness of the importance ofcommunication and to

In addition, students were introduced to technology negotiating skills and funding opportunities. Finally, they were encouraged to pursue their projects after the course ended by submitting their designs to student competitions. Improve critical Students participated in the peer-review process in two ways. First, each thinking skills project was reviewed in class multiple times (at each step in the design process) where feedback
relatively small University, a conscious effortis made to not duplicate faculty efforts in multiple classes. As such, it is important to avoidhaving redundant courses or having materials repeated in multiple classes.One last constraint was added as the engineering entrepreneurship course was being devised.Due to the University’s close relationship with industry through the Co-op program, many upper-division courses receive feedback from industry leaders. The proposed class, in keeping withthis tradition, would solicit feedback from people with entrepreneurial backgrounds. Because thesurrounding region does not have a critical mass of engineering- or technology-basedentrepreneurship, those relationships would have to be fostered from the ground-up
the ability to create connections between courseworkand real-world applications, the ability to communicate the value that the coursework provides,and their curiosity regarding unanswered questions in the field. While these results wereencouraging, entrepreneurship and engineering, in general, is a particularly discrimination-richlandscape due to a historic bias for White and Asian men. Historically marginalized minorities(HRMs), including women and first-generation college students, are underserved in upper-leveleducation systems. Consequently, it is necessary to investigate the impact of the coursework onHRM groups to generate curricula that encourage and maintain diversity in engineering.

Her research interests relate to the incorporation of active learning techniques such as game-based learning in undergraduate classes as well as integration of innovation and entrepreneurship into the engineering curriculum. In particular, she is interested in the impact that these tools can have on student perception of the classroom environment, motivation, and learning outcomes.Kaitlin Mallouk (Assistant Professor) Kaitlin
, entrepreneurial thinking canemploy several different people to go from the identification of a need to actualization of a solution to thatneed. Drilling down into entrepreneurship, these concepts include a variety of ‘entrepreneurialengineering identities’ (EEI) that have been described as founder, developer and inventor. [3] Foundersare people who want to create firms/companies based on ideas or social motivations. Developers arepeople who want to take nascent firms/companies further than just initial stages. Finally, inventors arepeople who want to identify and propose solutions to problems. To our knowledge, there is no set pathfrom one identity to another nor is a person consigned to engaging in single identity. Our question is howdo these identities

Significant educationalinstruction and research attempting, to address these issues have been done by courses designedto build engineering entrepreneurship. 3,4 The reasoning behind this is simple, “Engineeringstudents typically go through school completing assignments that are generated by academiciansand quite often this either cannot or does not reflect the commercial world.” 5 The desire toincorporate real
