describe the challenges, lessons learned, and results of the program for its firstyear and a half of existence. The primary challenge was known before the project began: onlyone school is within an hour’s drive of the four-year institution. The other four schools are threeto four hours distant. In spite of this, strong collaborations and interactions are occurringbetween the schools. The paper will describe participation in high school recruitment,presentations in classrooms, student feedback from class room visits, and the advantages ofbeing available at a table in the student union so that students can come by and ask questions.The paper will also discuss the changes that have taken place in the community colleges to bettersupport their programs

What motivates students and the way they begintheir projects or start-ups are considered during the opening phases of each class, duringclassroom dynamics and during the introduction of an entrepreneuring story. Stories areexamined and informed by previous work. Storytelling is defined and measured by fourconcepts: self-motivated, ambiguity readiness level, passionate social connections, and empathy.A series of planned prompts alongside classroom work geared towards student

This rubric was specifically developed to create a framework for educators to assessstudents’ level of ethical achievement and understanding. Using this rubric, the project teamnoted lower-than-expected performance for recognition of the dilemma in the evaluation ofapproximately 114 student submissions. The average scores for these submissions were in therange of 2-3 (on a scale from 1 to 5). These scores correspond to evaluations of students as beingable to identify problems (but only inferring it is an ethical dilemma) or recognizing obviousdilemmas (but failing to

Studies of qualitative natureindicate that this structure can be associated with positive learning experiences, because it allowspeople to develop their technical and design knowledge, explore solutions to problems, anddevelop a working proficiency with tools and equipment used for creating and prototyping [14],[15].

This is especially relevant in theEngineering+ setting, where students are in the process of choosing their majors and planningtheir futures. Students take three courses on varying topics to explore their interests and practicefundamental engineering skills during their first year.
