skills are essential for career development. However, in typicaluniversity settings, undergraduate students take different courses and work on different projects indifferent teams each semester. As a result, students lack opportunities to work on multi-yearprojects and develop the skills essential for long-term planning. To remedy this situation, ourdepartment has created elective courses that allow students from all years (first-year students tograduate students) to work on research projects under the supervision of faculty members and thementorship of senior graduate students. These projects provide the opportunities for students tolearn many skills essential in workplace, such as (1) understanding how projects are designed andmanaged; (2

First, students will have hands-on experience ofhow energy conversion occurs from wind to electricity and from solar to electricity. Secondlyand most importantly, the lab should be designed to emphasize on how electrical engineeringcontributes to the renewable energy harvesting and how to integrate different types of renewableenergy into electrical power systems.

Alumni were asked to rate twenty-five skills, abilities andattributes generally expected of an engineering graduate in two ways. First, they were askedhow important each has been relative to their needs and employment experience sincegraduation. Second, they were asked to rate each item relative to their abilities. Response forImportance was divided into a five segment Lickert scale. For scoring they were weighted

Professor Shull exhibits the need for a resource to guide the development of a course inwhich the faculty member may not have formal training, which is a large motivating factor forthis research.This need for a resource to guide teachers has been highlighted in a number of papers and studieshighlighting how doctoral graduates are unprepared for teaching. As Wankat and Oreovicz13glumly note, "new faculty are … almost totally at sea when it comes to the day-to-dayrequirements of teaching." This may be because it can be difficult for new faculty members toget the information they need on a range of issues, including teaching10.ASEE recently surveyed engineering assistant professors in the

Another innovative aspect of CPIC is that it involves students fromparticipating universities to work with faculty experts assigned to each module. Students,especially those majored in entrepreneurial fields will gain valuable practical experience in thisprocess. In this article, we present the development of this unique virtual center in details.IntroductionIt is estimated that nearly 90% of all new businesses fail within the first five years. Althoughthere are a great number of reasons for these failures, if examined more closely they can becontributed to a relatively short list of mistakes.

These outcomes will be similar to the ABET a-koutcomes that are used for engineering degrees but will be focused on
