distinct and particular to entrepreneurship in its own right.7Those whodo not favor an entrepreneurship discipline are becoming less vocal in their opposition than inthe past. Entrepreneurship courses and programs are sprouting up in business and engineeringcolleges of esteemed universities. What does remain is the lingering argument that much of whatis applied in the process of entrepreneurship includes material that overlaps in other courses. Inthe early days, a number of large universities claimed that the functions of management –planning, organizing, controlling- are very much evident in entrepreneurship and need not betreated as a uniquely different discipline. The debate did not recognize two critically importantfeatures of an entrepreneur

IntroductionThe inclusion of real-world industry provided problems in undergraduate education reinforcesconcepts and improves learning in ways not available through traditional methods of lecture orpredefined case problems. Students develop problem solving skills, project management skills,communication and teaming skills, and a sense of professionalism through such experiences.

A major recommendation was the adoption of a new two-course sequence for first-year students. This sequence will replace the current one-unit introductory seminar course forfirst-year engineering and computer science students.A backward design process — that began with student learning outcomes and produced contentand assignments that would support these outcomes — was used by a subsequent summerworking group to develop plans for the two-course sequence.

This paper starts by documenting computer software packages that can enhance the teamside of a capstone. Next discussions progress into how teams can best plan their use oftechnology.

As a result, duringthe following lecture, I was able to clear up these misconceptions before they blossomed intomajor problems. I have since altered my lecture notes to avoid the misconceptions entirely in thefuture. Another benefit is actually watching the learning take place. There is nothing better in aclassroom than to see that look of understanding and accomplishment flood across a student’sface when she or he finally “gets it.” I truly appreciate EESP for providing this innovativeinstructional tool as well as many others that I plan to use in the future
