This experiences overall had a major influence on all three students’ career aspirations.None of these students had entrepreneurial-related intentions prior to college, which makes thefindings all the more interesting.Literature Review The reason for the strong interest to integrate entrepreneurship into engineering educationis it is widely believed entrepreneurship education can lead to the development of knowledge,skills, and attitudes that are in alignment with the ABET E2000 standards (Shuman, Besterfield

Experts believe that this method of educating students nurtures problem-solving skillsand develops complex perspectives, preparing students to succeed in the modern world [10]. Webelieve that the interdisciplinary nature of the project team made it more effective in achieving itsgoals and significantly benefitted the students’ educational experience.The survey consisted of four open-ended questions to allow students to provide feedback fromtheir experiences.

Additionally, a third view – the constructivist perspectiveargues that career success is socially constructed. In this view, career success is not static butrather socially constructed by personal values, individual decisions, and expectations withbroader structural and contextual influences (Dries et al., 2008; Santos, 2016). The constructivistview to some extent combines and integrates the objective and subjective perspectives on careersuccess.Within the context of tenure and tenure-track faculty in engineering, it is important to identifyobjective and subjective measures of career success.

These projects proceed from requirements gathering, to analysis, design,implementation, and delivery of products to real-world clients. In recent years, several of theseprojects have involved the development of serious games for real-world clients. Serious gamesare games whose purpose is education in its various forms, rather than entertainment.

This removes them from familiarity with the overall curriculum, standards,and strategies.Aligning the lesson components to the standard is an important skill for all teachers to have, andit is evident that some of our preservice teachers struggled with this skill.

A secondary goal of the lab was to strengthen a student’sunderstanding of Computer Aided Control System Design (CACSD).
