Nowadays, we can investigatehow other colleagues (anywhere in the world) have approached the problem when theydesigned a similar curriculum. Books play a major role to gain access, as, in many cases, theyconvey a pedagogical approach as well as a well-defined program and schedule.The web and the wide availability of resources open up new approaches, as large amounts ofinformation and course materials can be found.

However, the method of conveying the entrepreneurshipeducation has been writing a traditional business plan. In this paper, the coauthors willdiscuss an innovative approach to educating engineers in entrepreneurship. This wouldinclude implementing in the curriculum new online tools for creating a business planwhich have the mobility and convenience that today’s generation of engineers havegrown to know and expect.

skills need to be part of theinstruction in the foundation courses. This is not without controversy. Vasquez deVelasco and Clayton [1999] see an introductory CAAD course as a necessary prerequisitefor participation in design studios that employ computer methods. On the other hand,some worry that the addition of such a course into already crowded curricula may comeat the expense of displacing traditional subjects and call for integrating computerinstruction within the existing courses. Several ideas on balancing this have beendiscussed at a special session titled Ideal Digital Curriculum, in a recent ECAADEconference, in Helsinki [PENTILLA, 2001: 165-199].

While the traditional use of commercial bridge modelingkits, like the Pasco Bridge set ME-6991, has been standard, this approach often falls short ineffectively engaging students in learning the principles of static equilibrium and truss analysis.This paper introduces an innovative design project that enhances the conventional bridgeexperiment. It involves students optimizing and 3D printing truss member dimensions, replacingthem in the model, and evaluating performance. This hands-on approach in design andmanufacturing significantly enriches the learning experience in truss analysis. Additionally, thepaper discusses the integration of this project

Teachers faced many obstacles thatimpeded successful integration of CS and engineering into the elementary curriculum. Theystruggled to justify the time spent on CS and engineering when it was not part of standard,state-mandated curriculum. Despite the obstacles, support staff of PD researchers was a veryhelpful resource that enabled integration.3 MethodologyTo mitigate these challenges, it is first important to identify promising practices and techniques soteachers can be trained in those practices.
