Theobjective was to provide common standards to help schools evaluate their programs. Since thiswork began, four schools and six programs have been ASEM certified. EM graduate mastersprograms that are ASEM certified are: University of Missouri at Rolla, Old DominionUniversity, Stevens Institute of Technology and George Washington University.ABET is the acknowledged standard for engineering schools.

From the studies, theywere able to determine that cultural background seems to play a role in how much risk anentrepreneur is likely to take. This led to help determine the type of financing they were likely touse.It seems logical to study this group of entrepreneurs due to the fast pace of the industry and thenumber of firms that have started in the last 25 or so years. This gives the researchers access tothe original start up entrepreneurs in many instances and includes techniques that have beencurrently used. Some questions that remain are: can the results be inferred to all softwarecompanies? Can the results be inferred to other

Much of the work reported here wasperformed by him under the aegis of the Hauber Summer Research grants program at ourcollege.

theadded benefits for the students in that it allows them to salvage 2 credit hours by takingthe Math 110 course and earning a grade in that course, rather than simply withdrawingfrom the calculus course or continuing in the calculus course and possibly earning a poorgrade that will negatively affect their first term GPA.For the future, we will continue implementing this intervention strategy and continue tocollect data to assess its effectiveness and make improvements. For example, based onthe data and other considerations we will also consider: a. mandating the Math 110 option for students who receive a D or less on the first calculus midterm; b. identifying and implementing a better math placement process to minimize the

Science demands that the results of an experimentbe repeatable and reproducible and that is the way it should be. Engineers, on the otherhand, recognize that the outcomes of processes and transactions exhibit a certain amountof inherent variation no matter how well they are designed and operated owing to certaincauses that are unknown or uncontrollable.
