These skills are essential to take advantage of the opportunities that emerge inthe environment. The Technology Based Entrepreneurship course is an effective strategy todemonstrate this change in educational paradigm. This strategy is built from an educationalprocess that is creative, innovative, and multidisciplinary, with a hands-on approach, from atechnological point of view and providing a balance between depth and breadth. Thefoundations and methodologies of this course have propitiated similar initiatives in otherdepartments in our university.AcknowledgementTo incorporate the

The last decade alone has seen unprecedented and unanticipated changes inthe nature of work itself in fields such as information technology and biotechnology as noted inTechnically Speaking (National Academy of Engineering & National Research Council, 2002).To ensure that the workforce of tomorrow possesses the necessary competencies and knowledge, Page 8.534.1educators must train workers to succeed in jobs that are not yet

technology will keep on shaping our society throughout the 21st century as we have already entered into economic globalization. This is why; the combined problems of enrollment and retention are not only the concern of engineering and technology administrators but also the industry people. Indeed, the demand for engineering and technology graduates is expected to rise gradually in foreseeable future as the industries are increasing seeking graduates with appropriate background and training in different conventional and emerging fields of engineering and technology4. The primary goal of the academic institutions in North America is to provide the workforce of the future. But according to a researcher

Theteaching modules focus on the fundamental concepts in modeling and control of smart materialbased actuators (or smart actuators), and they were designed for ME courses in system dynamics,controls, and mechatronics. The piezoelectric actuator, a type of smart actuator, has becomeincreasingly important because of its ability for precision positioning (actuation) or sensing innano and bio-related technologies.
