,but rarely are patent or trademark searches required for projects. This is a disservice toengineering students.Of all the academic disciplines, engineering may encompass most of the patentable technologicalbreakthroughs, yet some engineering students are never exposed to IP education. If taught early,starting in the freshman year, and often, throughout the undergraduate education, IP educationwill be ingrained into the student’s creative thought process. It will also give the undergraduateengineering student other options upon graduation, perhaps to study patent law or technologytransfer.Incorporating IP into an undergraduate engineering curriculum need not replace any ABET(Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc.) or any

They learn the importance of effectiveproject management and teamwork, including communication, organization, quality and costcontrol and safety. The technical challenges of the project are quite similar to thoseencountered in a high-quality undergraduate research project.Students who participate on a concrete canoe team gain valuable skills that they would notnecessarily learn in a standard engineering undergraduate curriculum.

The key fordeveloping successful industry-sponsored projects is to identify clear mutual benefits for both theeducational institution and sponsoring companies1,9,11.

Of these 400 NJ employers, 69% stated that moreexperience-based learning, such as internships, would improve higher education and betterprepare students for employment. These employers also suggested “implementing ideas frombusiness into college curriculums” and encouraged future collaboration with higher education sothat “schools can become more familiar with their companies’ skill needs.”More broadly, the National Association of Manufacturers, in its 2005 Skills Gap Report7,identifies the skills gap in manufacturing as being extremely broad and deep, cutting acrossseveral

education whichincorporates human behavior skills as part of the engineering curriculum has been acknowledgedwithin the last decade (ABET, 2004; Bjorklund & Colbeck, 2001; Hsu, 2004; Nguyen, 1998).In order to effectively talk about the incorporation of human behavior skills as part of universityengineering curriculums, it is important to clarify what human behavior skills in engineeringtakes into account for the purpose of this paper. For the purpose of this paper, human behaviorskills in engineering encompasses many of the skills that have been referred to as soft and/ornon-technical skills in past literature. This paper focuses on the human aspects of these skills dueto the fact that engineers are assumed to be technically competent, but the

If we engage in pedagogical and philosophical discussions, reflections, and debates, it could reduce the students’ engineering knowledge base. We would then develop weak students.” • “What would industry think?
