The first was to talk about the different kinds of engineers who work on thesame research projects and to identify the role of each major. The second was to address howthey use the design process in their research. Faculty interactions occurred both through labtours and through classroom presentations.

It generally involves merely correcting the misplacedperiods and commas, making subjects agree with their verbs, and performing a myriad of seemingly non-related items. When the text fails to earn a high grade, it is always the fault of the misused colon or thedangling participle. Technical knowledge, in the minds of engineers, has no connection to these grammarexercises and the presentation of knowledge. In fact, many engineers see it as a hindrance to the technicalworld. The need, then, is to provide a mechanism in which there is no discernible delineation betweentechnical knowledge and the means to communicate it. Technical knowledge and

Realizing that aproblem existed and after some study into the use of mind-maps, an attempt to tiethermodynamics together on a single sheet of paper using this method seemed to be a worthychallenge. The first attempt at mapping the course revealed a need to carefully choose the startingpoint; both in the course and on the paper. The purpose of mapping is to prepare a visual thatgrows logically to assist in understanding the material. Topics should

Koen terms this conclusion “The Universale Organum”, or universal method,underscoring the letter h to indicate that it is based on heuristics. Since there is no way toprove , absolutely, that anything exists, even ourselves, the engineer (or, Techie) simplyuses his best estimate of the conditions (the state of the art, or “SOTA”) in order to comeup with the best solution of the problem.

What these definitions have in common is that EM relatesto a person’s ability to react to changes and capitalize on opportunity. The Kern EntrepreneurialEngineering Network (KEEN) attempts to tie together these varying definitions of EM using the3C’s—curiosity, connections, and creating value—which encourages individuals to look forsolutions outside of the boundaries of technical engineering [8].
