entrepreneurship to hard core engineering. Some resourcesavailable to the faculty are heavy on the business side of the problem and somewhat lighter onthe technological and engineering side. To more effectively balance these topics, tweaking ofavailable resources must be done. In general, these types of courses involve a project thatproduces a 3D solid computer model of the product, or a physical prototype. An inevitableconsequence of this is that either existing products must be designed (actually copied) for theproject, or intellectual property must be considered. This paper discusses three areas ofrefinement to commonly available resources, two of which are technical in nature and one ofwhich is entrepreneurial. They are: (1) enhancement of engineering

more difficult to define. The concept of quality is a highly contested within HE3resulting in a variety of views as to what features a high quality placement might have. Fromthe educational viewpoint, the key quality indicator might be evidence that studentsundertaking placement perform better than their peers who did not, and most engineeringeducators would probably accept this as being the case. In the UK, the government fundedPROFILE project has sought evidence for better academic performance from students whohave undertaken an internship, and conclude4, ‘It has long been realized that students returning from work experience out perform students who haven’t been in the workplace in terms of performance in their final

UniversityAbstractThis paper describes activities and preliminary findings from a five-year, NSF-sponsored project(Award #1565066) at Purdue University Fort Wayne to increase the number of students whocomplete engineering, engineering technology, and computer science degrees. Purdue UniversityFort Wayne is a metropolitan, non-selective, public institution with a high percentage of under-prepared, first-generation, low-income, commuter students, many of whom work. The objectivesof this project are to (a) increase graduation rates of the STEM cohorts; (b) build the foundationfor a sustainable institutional structure and support STEM scholars and other students; (c) carryout research designed to advance understanding of the factors, practices, and curricular and

work in which engineers engage and the NASA Mars landing in 2021 was thetheme underlying each of the program’s hands-on projects. Problem-solving was a keyconnector of the subject of science to engineering. Students were given the opportunity to solveproblems just as engineers would while learning how engineers use science in their everydaywork. The NASA Mars landing in 2021, due to the excitement it generated across the generalpopulation, was used as a theme to increase students’ motivation to learn about and interest inengineering by engaging student teams in hands-on and fun real-life applications of theengineering underlying the Mars landing. This also provided a meaningful context for the middleschool students to learn about science

The library is organized in a functional staffing model,making initiatives that require large numbers of liaison or reference-focused librarians difficult toimplement. Therefore, the authors are concentrating this literature review on larger models andissues rather than debates on desk location or staff organization.At the outset of the project, the authors were interested in exploring libraries using the term“concierge” to describe their services.

In fact, the instructor’s campusreputation in this regard was one significant reason the project PI contacted the instructor aboutjoining the project.
