begins to be more relatable for a larger percentage ofstudents experiencing university entrepreneurship curriculum and programming and is morebroadly applicable in engineering education when thinking about levels of failure in a project orproduct development. When speaking about entrepreneurial failure in the university context,however, an even larger body of work speaks about failure without providing a concretedefinition (Korach & Gargach, 2019; Li et al., 2019; Hirschfield, Huang-Saad & Libarkin, 2017;Jamison IV, D, 2017) or implicitly define it as the inability to properly accomplish a given taskon the first try (Davis & Beyette Jr., 2017; Shooter & Orsborn, 2013).Given the large range of contexts and definitions of failure

One could find microprocessors anywhere – from acountertop water filter to an unmanned underwater vehicle designed to inspect thepipelines at the sea bottom. At that point industry found itself in a huge demand forengineers with controls background in their backpacks.

The present sequence of in-class semesters andmandatory co-op semesters is such that students have solid mechanics competency after the firstco-op experience while machine design course which is last in the sequence is taughtconcurrently with the first part of senior design projects. The present sequence is therefore lessbeneficial to the students in terms of co-op experience and the senior project.This paper presents initiatives taken to address these issues and discusses the details of theproposed scheme.
