Now the movement has spread internationally,with programs being initiated in most parts of the world. Teaching students to consideralternatives to traditional employment is also now seen as an important part of economicrecovery programs in less affluent countries. Many of these programs rely heavily on theuse of mentors, and include the skills of intrapreneurship – using entrepreneurial skillswithin a

The course, whichcontains a hands-on laboratory portion, was designed as a full semester learning experience forstudents, which integrates a PBL pedagogy to facilitate learning. The students worked in teamsthroughout the semester, constantly contributing to the completion of their projects. Theintervention of this teaching

The goal was to create a conceptual framework for assessing and managingUBIs. The dimensions used to assess the UBIs were the following: performance outcomes; tenant firm’s survivaland growth; contributions to sponsoring-university’s mission; community-related impacts; goals, structure, andgovernance; financing and capitalization; operational policies; target markets; shared incubator services; anduniversity-related services.When assessing UBIs one could use the conceptual framework adapted from Mian’s papers cited above

The EAC is committed to excellence in allaspects of assessment practices and processes, paying particular attention to accuracy andtimeliness. The EAC initiates and records quarterly forms for faculty and chairs and thusminimizes the impact upon program faculty and the staff in eight departmental offices.

However, these systems present unique challenges in aneducational setting that impact the choice of platform and how they are deployed for instructionand project work. Depending on the system, one challenge may be the level of IT support that isneeded. The cost of use for systems is also a major consideration for universities. Some vendorshave adopted the Software-as-a-Service business model, while others still require paying a heftyone-time licensing fee for student and faculty accounts and data storage. As a result, there can bea significant variation in cost for access to the available platforms. This cost can be justifiedpartly by the difference in capabilities. Though most systems now

Current tendencies in curricular design20 emphasize the relevance to include in thecontent definition, students’ perceptions, expectations and prior knowledge. In fact, identifyingand correcting prior knowledge is essential to enable students’ learning of new knowledge andfacilitate the transfer to other contexts.21Therefore, one of the logic steps is to define a strategy to identify

Think out of the box—connecting textbook with the real worldNext, what would be the best teaching approach to achieve the teaching goals andlearning outcomes? According to educational research,project-based learning (PBL) hasbecome a favored pedagogical model for teaching engineering knowledge and skillsin addition to chalk-and-talk teaching. Through engaging students in the investigation ofauthentic problems, PBL can enhance student participation in active and self-learning andpromote critical and proactive thinking5,6,7. Therefore, during course design, it wasdetermined that it would be insufficient to limit the learning of human factors in firescience and engineering on paper

Integrate professional, ethical, social and environmental factors in energy engineering design and problem solving and understand the impact of these factors on global energy issues. 4.

importantly, to help maintain the sense of colleagueship and community that develops among the workshop participant s during their four days together. The sessions are open to participants in the orientation workshops held in the preceding three years. Topics that have been addressed include troubleshooting teaching, working with student project teams, dealing with fund ing agencies, and the most popular one, writing effective NSF CAREER grant proposals. The average attendance is between ten and twenty. One of the principal reasons for initiating the workshop was new faculty dissatisfactionwith the orientation they received following their arrival at N.C. State. To assess the impact ofthe workshop in this regard, surveys of
reflect on their own perceptionsof what constitutes ethical practice. Most survey questions were drawn from a previouslypublished study investigating student engagement with ethics across a business and anengineering program [5], while a few were developed specifically for the lesson. Studentresponses along with comparison results are presented in Appendix A. A short instructor-leddiscussion covering some of the survey questions takes place immediately following the survey,providing students with an opportunity to share their initial thoughts. A main point of emphasisfor the discussion is exploring the rationale for believing that profit maximization either is or isnot an ethical obligation. Table 1 – Module Components Week

In theory, EC2000 shifts the primaryemphasis from inputs—i.e., faculty qualifications and resources—toward the effective use ofthese inputs in producing quality outcomes—i.e., student learning, effective use of resources toachieve curricular goals. The new criteria increasingly emphasize the collective responsibilitiesof academic programs rather than the individual achievements of program faculty.EC2000: Common PracticesDespite these new ABET criteria, the common practice in assessing Criterion 5 (Faculty)remains focused on traditional measures of faculty qualifications 2:· the number of full-time-equivalent faculty members associated with the academic program,· their education,· the
