Perspectives on a Freshman Treatment of Electronic SystemsAbstract.The conventional approach to curriculum design is that students start with the basics of scienceand math and gradually progress towards a realistic integration of all their engineering skills in asenior capstone project. That approach is now challenged by changes in the assumed boundaryconditions. Students no longer progress through the program in lock-step. Electronicsapplications have evolved far beyond the components level and many cross-disciplinary skillsare needed. Finally, all students require a level of communications, team-working, trouble-shooting and representational skills that take a long time to mature so it is too late to wait till thesenior year to introduce them.

Again, each project’s results are written and presented to the class.The extra requirement for graduate credit for graduate student enrollees is related to thepresentations.

communication and management acumen (e.g., technicalwriting, technical presentations, and project management). Such an approach is essential topreparing future engineers for the workplace [1]. The challenge becomes providing studentswith effective exposure to both kinds of skills within engineering programs.Traditionally, the development of such skills has been a matter of content-specific courseworkintegrated into a school’s engineering program(s).

Most studies on entrepreneurship education have analyzed psychological outcomes, such asself-efficacy and entrepreneurial intent [13]. Few of them have explored short and long-termeffects on professional competencies and career goals [14]. Some of them have used classroomassessment techniques and academic records to understand students’ conceptions ofentrepreneurial learning [15], [16], but more efforts are needed to explore how students learn aboutentrepreneurship as they develop ownership of their ideas [17].
