academicculture to best align its curricular programs to make students aware about thepossibilities of using their engineering training to solve real-world problems.To address this challenge, NYIT applied and was selected as one of 25 universities thathave joined the Epicenter’s Pathways to Innovation program.8 This alliance enables us toengage with other schools on fully incorporating innovation and entrepreneurship inundergraduate engineering education.With the support of the Epicenter network, the SoECS is now capitalizing on the ETICto implement significant curricular changes, such as incorporating the Center’s advancedfabrication facilities across the curriculum to teach students about design and rapidprototyping. The SoECS is also organizing

internship or appliedlearning experiences xv. Internships are a well-established practice for the student/employeepipeline and can be effective in landing students future jobs. According to Forbes magazine,60% of paid interns receive at least one job offer xvi. According to CNN, internships create awin/win situation xvii. Benefits for the student include:  Students get a foot in the door of the company they work for.  Students get an opportunity to build their resume`.  Students get to “Test drive” a career and be sure it is something they are interested in.  Many networking opportunities are typically presented.  Establishing relationships with mentors is a key benefit.  Students can get college credit for real world

The design projects, with theirinevitable need to revisit design choices, teach students to build grit and learn from mistakesthrough the iterative process of design, build, and test. It also builds their engineering identity, asthey see themselves more as real-world problem solvers. The service learning aspect enablesstudents to see the impact of their engineering abilities on their local community and motivatesthem to persevere through the challenges and rigor of engineering degree programs.

programs aredifficult to create without college wide support and structure to foster this growth.7The Ohio State University (OSU) offers students, through its Multidisciplinary CapstoneProgram (MDC), a broad range of opportunities for both engineering and non-engineeringstudents to work directly with industry personnel on company-sponsored product and processdesign projects. OSU provides students an opportunity to apply their academics and professionaland practical skills to real-world problems as a member of a multidisciplinary team. Theprogram is a two-semester project design sequence. Based on the project scope, the coordinatorsform teams and assign a faculty advisor to ensure project success. The sponsor is vested in theprogram by assigning an

Sarah was attracted by the opportunity to applyher course work in discipline S to a practical application: "I really wanted to see something [fromdiscipline S] work, I wanted to know that everything I was learning in all these classes was goingto do something." Sarah envisioned herself taking on a specific technical role on CTA. Herinterest in subsystem S was driven by the specific mission of CTA that year, which wasunusually highly weighted toward discipline S.Sarah and Jeff attended weekly CTA meetings for about two months.
