This finding suggests that further research needs to be conducted into theperspective of the student. Understanding and interpreting student evaluation of coursework aswell as overall program and curriculum review could be enhanced with this research.Clearly, much more attention must be paid to presenting entrepreneurship and managementtopics as future engineers are developed and sent into the working world. Creativity andinitiative, as accomplished by the PET 4460 course, on the campus of Montana Tech, is just oneof the ways to make this happen. Engineering curriculums across the country need to

The overallgoal of this work is to allow lessons learned from these earlier efforts to inform projects offeredas part of this new BME curriculum. This paper presents (1) an overview of this new curriculum,(2) the skillsets that this new BME program intentionally addresses and the courses that willsupport that skillset development, (3) BME project
