In addition, these emergingprocesses are usually taught to graduate students who have already mastered the fundamentals ofengineering. In this research, the instructor of the course designed an accelerated approach to getthe undergraduate student up to speed in this field in a short amount of time. The idea behind thisresearch was to find the most efficient way of microfabrication learning within an academicsemester rather than developing a device.

Programs at Caltech [18] andMichigan [19] have shown that developing a culture of innovation in getting students from STEMbackgrounds to “think like an entrepreneur” is possible by combining extensive mentorship,educational resources, and experiential project work. While these efforts were undertaken for post-graduate STEM students looking to commercialize research innovations, the same ideas andstructures apply to undergraduate engineers in a co-curricular setting.This paper describes and assesses the impact of an entrepreneurial fellows program organized bythe Dyer

Chu, Cleveland State University c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Integrating Computer Engineering Labs with a “Sound Theme”1. Motivation Recent engineering education studies call for change to enhance student learning and to betterprepare graduates to meet the new challenge1,2,3. A good engineer should have a deepunderstanding of a domain and can apply the knowledge to solve problems4. This requires twotypes of practices – the “component skill,” which is the knowledge of a specific domain, and the“integration skill
