States JuniorEnterprise was founded at UIUC to provide experiential and entrepreneurial education forengineering students through consulting projects with local start-up companies, non-profitorganizations and UIUC. This paper summarizes the history of Junior Enterprise abroad anddetails a single case study of the implementation and integration of JE at UIUC, including thecurrent state and the future plans of the Junior Enterprise movement in the United States, andoffers best practices and recommendations for other institutions.The Junior Enterprise movement originated in 1967 in France. It has fostered experientialeducation in over 20 countries for almost 50 years. Currently, JE is active in 14 Europeancountries with over 280 Junior Enterprises

In addition to supporting the material science curriculum, the inclusion ofsolid modeling exercises in the materials science class also supports the equally importantgoal of improving students’ long-term retention of solid modeling skills. In the paper thatfollows, a description of the current material science program at VMI is given, along witha summary of characteristic problem areas for student comprehension in material science.Goals for the incorporation of solid modeling tools with the materials science course arereviewed, and descriptions of solid modeling exercises are detailed. Lastly, studentreactions to the new teaching approach are discussed, as well as future plans for usingsolid modeling

RIT also offers an MS or MEng degree, depending on whether or not the student wants topursue thesis research. There are two options for pursuing a master’s-level degree: the studentmay enter as a full- or part-time student who has already completed the bachelor’s degree, or thestudent may apply for a dual BS
