The paper could form the basisfor in-class discussion or a written reflection if an instructor generated appropriate prompts.There are also more detailed case studies related to privacy that would be good vehicles forinstruction, including Google Street View [40, 41] and “optimizing schools” [42]. These cases donot explicitly discuss a human rights perspective, so this framing would need to be added by theinstructor.Right to Property – Article 17Article 17 relates to the right to own and not “be arbitrarily deprived of [ ] property” [1].

Hegarty’s theoretical framework [22], students integrate both verbal and visuospatialinformation into a mental model of the concepts encoded within the representation. Thesefindings of the context-dependent nature of comprehension align well with the knowledge inpieces perspective of conceptual change, which posits that students’ conceptual knowledge is acollection of pieces that are cued depending on the context of the problem. While there is stillconsiderable debate about whether conceptual knowledge is in pieces or more monolithic [2],[7], [26], [27], we based our project on the knowledge-in-pieces perspective based on itsalignment with prior findings in the micro-level view of representations.The context-dependent nature of cognition has been

reasons for the shortfall in assessment practices: 1)Introducing engineering students to entrepreneurship is a relatively new trend and it will taketime for the successes to be quantified and assessed; 2) There are inconsistencies across differentengineering entrepreneurship programs; 3) The program can involve a single course, multiplecourses, projects or experiential learning; 4) The concepts can be taught by engineering faculty,business faculty, practicing engineers, or a mix of these. These program differences lead tovariations in assessment methods and instruments. Most importantly, there is lack of a clear,consistent and comprehensive definition of engineering entrepreneurship characteristics withinthe community.Based on the framework

The material taught in a course quickly fadesunless the student has applied the knowledge in some way. There are two things that stay withstudents after a class ends: the interactive and stimulating hands-on experience they gainedpracticing the use of some instrument or software package, and any material that was ofparticular interest to them. This is why it is as important to spark interest, building motivation forstudents to learn the desired material, as well as to provide relevant hands-on activities. Excitement is contagious. One of
