Competition The SJSU Silicon Valley Business Plan Competition (SVBPC) spans the academic year andculminates with the final round of judging each year in June on the SJSU campus. The primarypurpose of the SVBPC is to create start ups. This creates a real world emphasis that encouragesstudents to think about entrepreneurship as their career of choice as opposed to seeking thesecurity of a salaried position. The SVBPC also encourages innovation on the SJSU campus, rewards student participationin new venture creation, and increases recognition of SJSU’s contribution to entrepreneurship inthe greater San Jose metropolitan area. As such, the SVBPC is a regional competition, and each team submitting a business planmust have at least one SJSU currently

Recent cover stories in ASEE’s PRISM explore the effect of these trends on modernengineering practice12,18,19; the overall conclusion is unanimous: all recent engineeringgraduates can expect to work, at some point their careers, on teams with members from variedcultural and linguistic backgrounds; these teams may be geographically distributed acrossseveral international locations.

In order to enhance the students’chances for success in all their classes, university personnel from the Center for Student Progresslecture very early in the semester on on the proper way to manage time and proper studymethods for success. A large part of the Center’s services is dedicated to the first year student,providing peer assistants that are actually in the student’s college and mid-term grade reporting.They also present information on the multitude of services they offer the student free of charge;for example a support group for the non-traditional, older student.

Wherever education is inadequate, it has been noted that:1 Students know little about work. Students have no clear idea about what they must do to enter a particular career or occupation. Students do not know what might be expected of them at work since the teaching environment bears little to no resemblance to the engineering environment found in industrial companies. Schools do not teach the attitudes and maturity needed on the job. Schools isolate
their high school careers. The intent of thisprogram is to provide credit for the students; however it is currently an extra-curricular, after-school activity.The first project was to design and develop a device to help people with neurological disordersthat do not have the automatic swallow reflex to remember to swallow. OLJMG Joint Services,the special education branch of North Lawrence Community Schools, is the community partnerfor the project. It is estimated that there are at least 20 people in the service area that wouldbenefit from this project. In particular, an elementary school student with cerebral palsy willhave the opportunity to be more fully integrated into a normal classroom because of this project.Even though this engineering

Similarly, Advocates and A3B members have also showngreater comfort and engagement with discussions about biases impacting junior faculty rolesthan with those impacting mid-career or leadership roles.

[…] Encompassed in this theme is the imperative for engineers to be lifelong learners. They will need this not only because technology will change quickly but also because the career trajectories of engineers will take on many more directions – directions that include different parts of the world and different types of challenges and that engage different types of people and objectives. Hence, to be individually/personally successful, the engineer of 2020 will learn continuously throughout his or her career, not just about engineering but also about history, politics, business, and so forth
