Villanova, like Rutgers, requires a course on professional ethics.University of Texas limits the humanities and social science courses that count for engineeringdistribution, but the remaining list is highly idiosyncratic and not limited to STS-type courses.Perhaps the “hero” of this group of 20 is Stanford, which has a “Technology in Society”requirement that demands that engineering students take one from among about a dozenspecified courses (although one of the options is entrepreneurship). Anecdotally, there are otherinstitutions that have more successfully

This series of key engineering activities constitutes the major elementsof system architecture, which is an essential predecessor to any successful engineering effort,especially as the complexity of systems/systems of systems and socio-technical systems continueto grow.Unfortunately, these architecture-centric activities and system thinking techniques are nottypically part of an engineering curriculum. Undergraduate academics are so filled with corecourses and humanities that domain learning is primarily limited to the upper class years, leavinglittle room for system architecture. Noticing the gap in system architecture education, severaluniversities have recently started offering architecture related graduate degrees/certificates.However

The target audience for this course is undergraduate engineering students whohave some practice in dissecting the successes and failures of finished projects but often little orno practice in reflecting on themselves. The course also includes content, activities, andassessments that address two GCSP competencies (multicultural and social consciousness)present in Olin’s larger curriculum but less prominent (and less developed) in the typicalundergraduate experience than the talent, multidisciplinary, and entrepreneurship competencies.The primary learning objectives of Change the World are critical thinking and

This study defined innovation self-efficacy asone’s confidence in their ability to innovate. There was another study that demonstratedmindfulness correlated with business skills self-efficacy (i.e. students’ confidence in performingbusiness skills) and the intent to pursue a career in a start-up or entrepreneurship (Rieken, Schar,and Sheppard, 2016).

The concerns about discrepancy between the industry expectations and graduate practice readiness has been alluded to for general engineering [6], studied within software engineering [11], civil engineering [10], and chemical engineering graduates [12]. Literature has shown that there are a number of approaches higher education institutions have taken to improve their graduates’ practice readiness, some of which have enhanced students’ employability through developing generic skills or holistic competencies [4].
