What did you least like about your internship experience? • Two of the students mentioned financial concerns. Expressly, room and board are not being provided by the University. This appears to have posed a particular problem for the participants as the stipend were paid in two increments at the middle and end, with no funds available at the beginning of the experience. • Other concerns were related to a brief start-up "miscommunication" (as described by the student) regarding the project they were supposed to be involved in

Students learn and practicecourse topics during class meeting times, and then must complete the activities for the project ontheir own outside of class. Often this means meeting with the final design recipient (clientand/or user), members of support staff (e.g., the university machinist, department lab manager, orlocal bike mechanic) or using material learned in other courses (e.g., MatLab and

An important new mantra in undergraduate engineering education is theentrepreneurship-curriculum approach. In the curriculum approach, technology and appliedengineering education are blended with entrepreneurship for all semesters of study. Traditionaljunior and senior level courses in all walks of engineering learning in the undergraduatecurriculum has traditionally relied on home work, quiz, assignments, exams and projects foradministering the course as well as to assess student performance. Traditional method of learninghas its advantages but has also some major disadvantages. The amount of knowledge retention instudents is a major

the engineering profession, cultivating an innovative spirit from an early age can be aformidable task. Project Lead The Way (PLTW), a program dedicated to transformative STEMteaching for K-12 students, focuses on skills relevant to innovation and entrepreneurship such asproblem-solving and critical thinking. The PLTW program, however, has a limited focus on thehumanities which is presumed to turn women and minoritized populations away from STEM [2].In university-level engineering programs, with the heavy technical curricular demands, inclusionof coursework dedicated to innovation and creativity may not always be perceived as logisticallypossible.

Some examples include the programsoffered by the University-wide Studies Abroad Office and Center for Entrepreneurship, theSchool of Business Administration, and the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS). As such, wefocused on providing more curricular flexibility to allow students to take greater advantage ofthese existing opportunities.Summary of the Curricular ChangesA summary of the curricular changes, along with the rationale, follows.

The program does this by providing education and experiences in fivecompetency areas: talent, multidisciplinary, viable business/entrepreneurship, multicultural, andsocial consciousness. These competencies align well with education and experiences oftenacquired under the umbrella of the liberal arts. This alignment, along with the rising tide ofevidence that integration of liberal arts with STEM is beneficial for students’ education, ledrepresentatives from four colleges - Olin College of Engineering, Lawrence TechnologicalUniversity, Rochester Institute of Technology, and Worcester Polytechnic Institute - to

The core set of classes includes courses from severaldifferent areas of engineering including manufacturing, CAD, project management, computeraided analysis, electronic circuits, industrial automation, material science, engineeringeconomics, and technical communication. The five areas of emphasis are: industrial engineeringtechnology, mechanical engineering technology, engineering management and entrepreneurship,energy technology, and multidisciplinary engineering technology.

Unfortunately, these outcomes are difficult to measure and, assuch, are not well understood. In particular, outcome (h), which states that graduates mustdemonstrate “the broad education necessary to understand the impact of
users’ goals andtheir issues, and propose a solution by making a prototype and evaluating the users’ interactionwith the prototype. Depending on the topic, students’ background, interests, time constraints, andother factors, groups may spend more or less time on each phase of their project, particularlyduring the users’ requirements phase. This may result in variations in learning about users andtheir needs within and across groups. Although a course project strengthens students’ skills toapply the class topics toward a user-centered design process, solely, it may not lead studentstoward developing a user-centered design mindset because of the constraints previouslymentioned.
