.Manufacturers have embraced lean manufacturing during the slow down in the economyas one method of remaining profitable5. Having students experience lean manufacturing concepts in the laboratory canhave a positive effect on the experiences offered to the students prior to them entering theindustrial setting. It is important that faculty provide students with the experiences thatdevelop a strong conceptual framework of how this management practice will benefit theindustry in which they work. Many of our students learn best when they are actively engaged in activities thatemphasize the concepts that we are trying to teach.

Jersey. Having started with a clean curriculum slate during a periodof national change in engineering curricula in response to ABET 2000, we had the opportunity toinfuse an entrepreneurial culture into our engineering program from its inception. Specifically,we have developed a variety of policies/programs including creating an 8-semester engineeringclinic sequence, creating an undergraduate venture capital fund and developing the TechnologyEntrepreneurship Concentration. This paper will describe the impact of these and other relatedinitiatives that have helped create an entrepreneurial culture in our undergraduate students. Itshould be noted that many of these initiatives do not require a new program or major curriculumreform. Rather, our
