transition totheir careers. Students setting out for college campuses, getting out of the comfort of the familyfor the first time in life is itself a giant leap in their maturing. Then the experiential learningcoming from open discussions, making deep, meaningful connections, and dispute managementin classes and dorms all significantly contribute to shaping them as responsible future citizens.Students learn not only from the faculty but from their peers. They learn about themselves, theiridentities, their interest, their character, school pride, conflict resolution, emotional intelligence,and a whole host of things. However, even with all its benefits, this residential experience is notaccessible to all groups of students due to its high price tag

of success.” 50 Engineering education is clearly relevant tostakeholders besides engineers, something politicians, business leaders, and economists allunderstand well. But, as with Grand Challenges, our call goes beyond enhancing engineeringeducation in order to spur innovation and grow economies. Humanists and social scientists,management and entrepreneurship scholars, and the creative and fine arts all have something tooffer to engineering education.ConclusionWe share the enthusiasm of many engineers and engineering educators in redirecting engineeringenergies toward grand-challenge problems. But we also see these problems as an opportunity torethink the nature of engineering and recast the relationship between engineering and society. A
“imagination, curiosity,independence and critical thinking skills in students” as well as “professional skills, includingcommunication, teaching, and problem solving.” They indicated that as these intellectual skillswere instilled, all listed objectives will be automatically achieved.The questions about developing specific abilities in doctoral students attempted to differentiatethe needs of careers in academia vs. non-academic organizations (such as private companies,national labs, defense organizations, healthcare, etc.) or entrepreneurship. The faculty consideredthe importance of the first two capacities about the same (see Fig. 4). The majority of theanswers considered building capabilities for success in the first two types of careers
Student Perceptions and Attitudes Towards Engineering Design in Work-Integrated Learning Contexts1 IntroductionTo continue enhancing student learning, many institutions are implementing work-integratedlearning programs (WIL) to aid in the development of work-ready graduates [1]. WIL integratesacademic studies with experiences within a workplace or practice setting [2]. These experiencescan take many forms including collaborative research projects, apprenticeships, co-operativeeducation, entrepreneurship, field placements, internships, professional placements, servicelearning, or work experiences. WIL programs are very common in undergraduate engineeringprograms and have more recently expanded to graduate programs

Unlike previous years, learning objectives weredivided into four categories: manufacturing, electronics, entrepreneurship, and design.In the first two weeks, the teaching team used in-class workshops and activities to equip studentswith a basic understanding of the available tools in the college setting, such as rapid prototyping,3D CAD, Arduino microcontrollers and programming, 3D printing, laser cutting, and traditionalmanufacturing tools. Students were also exposed to weekly one-hour lectures to broaden theirexpectations of-of college engineering beyond the first year of typical engineering studies.Examples included introductions to topics such as sorting algorithms, Python programming

].For the fourth approach, a center for entrepreneurship can exist at many universities for studentsto gain EML outside of the classroom [7, 8]. However, this requires students to invest time inextracurricular activities outside the classroom. Thus, this can be an obstacle to many engineeringstudents, including those with a rigorous coursework load and/or personal and financialobligations. Thus, it will not be a practical option for many students.A fifth approach for students is to enroll in entrepreneurship-focused minors and advanceddegrees, which now exist at several universities. However, this also requires students to spendadditional time, money, and resources to enroll in such programs outside of their engineeringdegree of interest.For

He was the first Ph.D. graduate from USC Information Science Institute in 1975, where some of the initial work on Arpanet was done. His research specialty at the time was in Knowledge Representation. In 1984, he left USC for almost 20 years to be an entrepreneur. Most of his work was in manufacturing, both in Detroit and Japan. During that time, he worked on programming real-time systems using an Agent methodology, which he now teach in his CSCI 201 class. He returned to USC in 2002 to teach full time.

Overthe course of its existence the KEEN network has come to define an entrepreneurial mindset as“a collection of mental habits that empower you to question, adapt, and make positive change.”3This collection of mental habits can be taught so that graduates embrace that the network callsthe 3 C’s: curiosity, connections between concepts, and creating value.We hope that students develop an entrepreneurial mindset and grow into their careers in a waythat leads them always to be looking to make the world a better place.
