desire to solve problems can be used to create value for others. Groups likeKEEN have been supporting and encouraging EML in engineering education, with thepublication of the “The KEEN Framework” that includes examples of student outcomesassociated with entrepreneurial mindset [6]. Most often, these EML outcomes are incorporatedinto first year and capstone courses that emphasize the engineering design process. Courses, suchas statics, dynamics, and thermodynamics, make less frequent use of EML, possibly becauseinstructors feel like they do not have enough class time to include these elements. The aim of the“Clippers Worth the Cost” activity is to incorporate EML with course content in such a way thatstudents’ experience with the content is more

The authors share the view that engineering educationhas evolved to become more inclusive and responsive to stakeholders i.e. their constituency.As such engineering programs are becoming less isolated and not restricted to engineeringschools boundaries.A systems perspective brings a sense of inclusiveness into the design process. That is thesystem is composed of functional groups or subsystems that when brought together, all of theparts,(laboratories/classrooms infrastructure, human resources, teaching methods, constituenciesneeds, university mission and a business plan), interact /perform in a way that the outcomessought for the system, are achieved.The systems approach seems consistent with the accreditation criteria

The revisedsecond semester course had a team-based approach to learning about engineering. Mini-lectureswere given on the engineering design experience and students were given hands-on tasks as wellas an overall design project. The course culminated in a team design competition. We found thatstudent attitude had a significant impact on the course outcome. Students were resistant to thenew approach to varying degrees and indicated that they felt overworked.

Of course, not all deterministic models are theoretical. Therehas always been a recognition among engineers that experimentation is needed to verify designbehavior, but often, since it is not practical to test a prototype early in the design process,experiments based on simplified models are used (for example, material property data obtainedfrom a standard tensile test).To allow engineering students and practicing engineers to better predict the behavior of systemsthat are too complicated to be handled with explicit equation solutions, numerical modelingtechniques have been
