These studies have shown that novices tend to not determine the quality and/orvalidity of information gathered when applying it to problems and they tend to simply applyinformation directly to problem solving instead of attempting to synthesize various informationsources together16–19. Studies within engineering courses found similar results when evaluatinguse of internet sources used by students when developing reports20.While the importance of effective execution of front-end design phases has been established inthe literature, research is lacking with regards to how

Also, the currentenrollments in engineering are not diverse, especially among women, blacks, and Hispanics [2].On another issue, a recent survey of engineers in industry indicates a compelling need forengineers to have strong communication skills [3].

Practices Engineering and entrepreneurship educators are paying more attention to the generationof intellectual property (IP) by students as involvement in the invention and innovation increases.Universities are investing in educational and experiential programs designed to equip studentswith entrepreneurial skills projects to prepare them for the contemporary job market. Also,entrepreneurial opportunities are more accessible given the lower startups costs associated withsoftware and apps, which allow more undergraduate to participate in entrepreneurship early intheir college experiences (Pilz, 2012). These result from entrepreneurship courses orcompetitions where students create projects on their own or in partnership with industry
