Nelson and Byers cite evidence that some degree of formal training inentrepreneurship helps not only graduates who go on to start their own companies or otherventures, but also fosters skills such as product design and development, prototyping, technologytrends, and market analysis in

discussions on the effectiveness of the university teaming education and its similaritiesto teaming in the business world indicated the following conclusions4,5. Since most teams in the university environment are composed of similar expertise and most business teams are composed of difference expertise there are not strong similarities except in the interdisciplinary classes. The use of teams in course layouts is deliberately chosen to mimic the use of teams in the business world. The students leave the program with some basic teaming skills due to the large number of teaming opportunities within their curriculums. In the ARCE Department only one of the four faculty members works directly with the

With our work, we hopeto motivate scholars to carefully evaluate and select keywords for indexing publications so as toimprove the research topic relevancy and publication visibility for broader impact.1 IntroductionIn the rapidly growing Computer Science Education Research (CSER) field, the collection of pub-lication keywords represents a concise knowledge landscape of the research domain. Understand-ing this landscape helps stakeholders contextualize existing research topics, identify the strategicdirection for future works, and shape the culture of this growing community [1]. For research stud-ies, using proper keywords will improve publication visibility in research networks

Could we understand buoyancy without the experience of being held by the water? Experience is probably the best Foundation for learning. Once we have tasted the salty seasoning of the water and felt its power, we can expand what we know through novels, encyclopedias, films, and lectures. If we have never experienced the ocean, we could still read about it

Heargues that the old industrial society was based on raw material and the use of practicalknowledge as the mode of production.8 The post-industrial society on the other hand is based ontheoretical knowledge. Theoretical knowledge gives managers, professionals and technicalworkers the tool to make better decisions in a complex environment. In both theories the key is ahighly educated society and the role specific types of knowledge play. Herein lies
