Here we report on our work-in-progress and initial formative assessment ofperformance and motivation of students in the entrepreneurial modules.2. Introduction and JustificationOur nation needs engineers that will drive innovation and leadership. Colleges and universitieshave outstanding undergraduate programs to train these rising engineers.

Furthermore, Circuits isoften a required course for non-ECE majors. Circuits tends to be focused almost solely oncircuit analysis with little emphasis on design or applications.
