through Engineering DesignGraduates that can frame problems and use a design-oriented approach with inquiry-based learning are needed in order to adapt to a rapidly changing society. Workforcedemands that students are able to diagnose and identify problems and design working Page 12.505.6solutions for ill-defined problems. The demand is magnified as disciplines merge andproblems become interdisciplinary, such as within the field of biotechnology, thuscreating a need for more inquiry-based learning at the undergraduate level. In order toprepare graduates for the global workforce, it is critical to develop a method to teachstudents creativity and

At this point we all felt that we could help the world and so we were willing to take therisks involved in this project.Sharing royalties In many universities, graduate students that are sponsored by research projects do notshare royalties obtained from intellectual property. The research work is considered to be “partof what they are paid for”. In this project, I took a different approach: I decided to share a portionof my potential royalties with the students, since I felt that this teaming and appreciationapproach was a better one. Indeed, it has made the students very thankful and more ambitious tomake things happen.About the design While learning

base and insightfulquestions.”6Liberal ArtsThe Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology’s [ABET] 2000 Criteria have a veryclear set of expectations for engineering degree programs related to the integration of technicaland non-technical disciplines. For employers, a drawback of the engineering graduate is a lack ofbreadth in terms of their ability to communicate, both verbally and in writing. In addition,graduates are lacking in background knowledge relating to public policy and political sciencesissues. Goldberg’s research states that current engineering curricula are not designed to providethe kind of breadth that is necessary to apply engineering concepts of design and analysis in non-traditional settings, and that breadth is

’ self-confidence. Infact, without self-confidence, it is difficult for a person to do any of these things.While there are all of these positive impacts of a high level of self-confidence, it is also possible tobecome over-confident, or to have a false confidence or bravado that is not based on truecompetence or mastery of one’s profession. If self-confidence becomes over-confidence, theengineer may lose the ability to accept criticism that improves the design or product. Thisbehavior may occur in design team meetings when engineers, in their zeal to promote and selltheir innovation, blind themselves to valid concerns or valuable modifications regarding theconcept or product that could make it even better.

practical and valid outcome measure that we can repeatedlyassess over time. Outcome measures useful for our program evaluation must possess severalfeatures such as the properties of reliability, validity, and sensitivity to change.However, measuring the ultimate impact sought from the entrepreneurial education programs(i.e., the creation of entrepreneurial mindset among the students) is neither clear nor straight-forward. In order to measure whether the program create entrepreneurial mindset among thestudents properly, researchers perhaps need to measure multiple outcomes. Entrepreneurshipeducation programs include a large range of topics including knowledge, skills, and attitudes aswell as impacts of such programs go beyond classrooms. Because of

The results of this research showed that professional investors are very leery aboutentering into discussions with companies that have licensed IP from a University with whichthey are unfamiliar. The concern is that the work and expense of understanding and, in manycases restructuring, contracts issued by Universities outweighs the commercial opportunitiesavailable.To overcome this perception, the program has spent considerable time and effort creating asingle contract with the newly formed company that conforms to investment best practices in theareas of
