This paper describes the development of a comprehensive assessment instrument to examine the multiple outcomes of entrepreneurship education for engineering students. It is targeted at senior-level students enrolled in capstone engineering design courses and is part of a larger study intended to clarify the relationship between faculty beliefs and practices, program characteristics, and student outcomes...
There is agreement on the need for change in engineering education, but lacking are the motivation, knowledge, or skills to effect change. With that in mind, we held a workshop in June 2009 that sought to engage faculty members who are change leaders. Over the two-day workshop, we solicited their views on departmental and institutional challenges, the knowledge, skills and abilities (KSAs) necessary...
Using as the initial foundation a new undergraduate course offered through Purdue University's Entrepreneurship Program called ??Women and Leadership??, a much needed graduate course on ??Gender and Leadership?? was developed. Benchmarking of similar courses was incorporated with a literature search related to gender, leadership, and the intersection of the two. These areas are of high importance...
This is an annual workshop where participants will be engaged in proven strategies and techniques for writing engineering education proposals to and managing projects for programs such as, but not limited to, the National Science Foundation (NSF) divisions of Undergraduate Education (DUE) and Engineering Education and Centers (EEC). Through active discussions, collaboration, and sharing of experiences,...

Concept inventory use came to the education literature in 1985 through the first publication of the force concept inventory. Since that time, there have been multiple inventories developed in all areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. For the past three decades, adoption and utilization of the inventories has not progressed to the instrument's full potential. Participants will...
