Thenthat same year in the second semester the principles of design are introduced through the use ofan experience in competitive assessment. Small groups of students work on the investigation ofa single product during the full semester. Along the way they are introduced to new analysistechniques and computer tools while learning in a “hands-on / minds-on” method themultidisciplinary nature of product design. By the sophomore year these students are ready forthe next stage – actual design assignments in a well

It isnot an entrepreneurship course, so entrepreneurship texts were avoided, but it is a course thatengineering and science graduate students can learn from to help prepare them forentrepreneurship courses or for more general business understanding. Through a combination ofpractical books, articles, notes, cases, and guest speakers, the course introduces students toimportant theory and practice in three primary areas: organization and leadership, marketing, andaccounting and finance.

After considerable research a number of suitableprospects were discovered. Then the real work began. Writing the proposal is a very difficult andtime consuming process. The wording must express exactly what activities are planned and howthey will be accomplished. Details had to be included for everything, further complicating theprocess.

Usually in engineering projects you don't get to see that and that was huge to see that the end user was an orphanage.

Girls,she found, asked for more information about the context of the situation and hesitated to makemoral judgments based on universal principles. These traits, Gilligan argued, were not signs ofan inferior moral sensibility, but of a different understanding of morality, one based onrelationships and specific situations in “a world comprised of relationships rather than of peoplestanding alone, a world that coheres through human connection rather than through systems ofrules” [1]. For men, she found, “the moral imperative appears rather as an injunction to respectthe rights of others
