This technological/pedagogical model has the potential oftransforming the way institutions with varying local resources can fulfill their educationalmission by tapping into resources made available from elsewhere.In engineering, ABET is the primary accreditation organization for post-secondary engineeringand technology programs in the United States. ABET requires that all engineering curriculainclude courses that teach students about the relationship between engineering practice andsociety. As argued in an earlier paper2, while economics and ethics courses are most often usedto fulfill this requirement, history offers the ideal stage on which to illustrate the engineering-society relationships.

In the context ofsolving ill-structured problems, Kitchener stated that, while Metacognition allowed one tochoose different cognitive strategies for the purpose of tackling a specific task, EpistemicCognition allows one to “interpret the nature of a problem and to define the limits of any strategyto solving it” (p. 226).

, journals and funded projects. Engineering curricula are crowded, however, and leave little room for new courses. Beginning with the “writing across the curriculum” movement in the 1980’s, the literature reveals that many disciplines have mounted “across the curriculum” movements. These include writing, mathematics, critical thinking, citizenship, ethics and other fields. Given crowded engineering curricula, an “across the curriculum” approach is a logical means to address the need to add entrepreneurial thinking without adding additional courses. Measurement tools are a critical requirement to assess the efficacy or any curriculum intervention. This is especially true when dealing with a new and
