Additional components of the programinclude why students should learn about nanoscale science and engineering (workforcedevelopment) and how it is an interdisciplinary field which helps students understand theinterconnections between the sciences and engineering.IntroductionNanoscale science and engineering (NSE) is viewed by many as the next great technicalrevolution. Evidence for this belief in the U.S. is the establishment of the NationalNanotechnology Initiative (NNI) and the nearly quadrupling of its budget since its inception in2001 from $464 million to nearly $1.8 billion in 20102

To ensure thatstudent projects are along the same trajectory that the industry is moving, educators mustcontinually introduce emerging techniques, practices, and applications into the curriculum. Thefield of wireless sensor networks is growing quickly, and there is an increasing interest inproviding students with a foundation in the area.

 Integrating Entrepreneurial Minded Learning in Circuit Analysis and Design CourseThe challenge of integrating EML in engineering curriculum is adding the EML activitieswithout additional workload to the currently packed curriculum. Instead of developing separatecourses in entrepreneurship, CoE plans to integrate EML into numerous engineering courses.Each course will have EML elements to help students grow with KEEN’s “the three Cs”(Curiosity, Connections, Creating Value) [13]. Incorporating EML in different course sequencessuch as analog and digital circuits, electronic design, and communication sequences will providestudents an opportunity to develop an entrepreneurial mindset.

These efforts are important and necessary in brining attention to EM and exposingstudents to diverse EM experiences. It is equally important to foster EML in individual courses,as EM is not an add-on but rather a way of practicing engineering that addresses the needs ofpeople and society. Hence it should be built into the curriculum. This paper presents a case studythat aims to integrate EM into a junior level engineering statistics course. Statistics is typically

Common to national reports on engineering education in the 1930s, 40s, 50s, 80s and 90sare, among other things, calls for emphasizing communications and social skills, integrating theliberal arts, particularly social sciences, into the curriculum, incorporating good teaching andcontinued curricular development, and instilling in students an appreciation for life-long learning.9ABET’s Criteria 200010 emphasizes these elements, providing the strongest impetus to date forreform.
