For example, Kate explained her normal procedure for hiring anundergraduate: “Usually [undergrads] approach me, say, ‘I’m looking for some research to do,’and I show them around the lab, and if they seem excited about it then I’m more willing to takethem on.” Excitement is not sufficient for selection, because Kate also expects curiosity andacceptable grades, but it is a significant factor. This practice implies a belief that performedinterest correlates with motivation, work ethic, and even ability. Likewise, undergraduatesexplained to me that

However, working across departmental lines was cited by one faculty member as oneof the biggest challenges at the college. Whatever specific approach is ultimately adopted, thereis an interest in exploring how service-learning can more fully integrated into the curriculum. Assuch, it may be time for S-L to begin to bring faculty together to explore those options.In a similar vein, there is concern among some of the faculty regarding the extent of theinstitutionalization of S-L.

engineering students communicate better,become more ethical, and see the task of engineering in a larger cultural context. This is as itshould be, but is it possible that the field of design engineering might lend insight and wisdomback to the humanities? If engineering design principles are so helpful in unraveling themysteries of biology, might they also be useful in the social sciences? These are just some of thequestions being posed in an engineering elective course at Oral Roberts University (ORU),where undergraduate students wrestle with advanced concepts in reverse engineering.

With this integrated approach to presenting the material, it became a naturalfit for the ABET 2000 requirements on social impact, ethics and economics. In responseto industry concerns that engineering students were becoming applied physicists insteadof engineers, MIT revamped its undergraduate curriculum. The result of a two-yearoverhaul was the Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate (CDIO) educational initiative.Emphasis is towards hands-on learning. Unified Engineering is still a key part of thecurriculum, but most core classes have added hands-on labs. Through the years, MIT

operations.The latter is particularly lacking. For example, absent entirely from the entrepreneurial mindsetapproach is the entrepreneur’s desire to create an organizational engine that runs, generatingrevenue and throwing off profit, without need for the entrepreneur’s constant attention.14The Case Study ApproachThe case study approach to teaching entrepreneurship is perhaps the least common type. It is anextension of the Harvard Business School case study method. Most entrepreneurship faculty areunfamiliar with this approach. Those who do adopt it will not find the rich set of case materialsthat are available in other disciplines. Case studies in management, organizational behavior,corporate finance, business ethics, and a wide range of other
