AB  - Intellectual property strategies are crucial for the success of many industries, including medical device companies. Senior year undergraduate students in Biomedical Engineering, who may become entrepreneurs in this field, may very likely encompass this subject in future.  Traditional engineering curriculum and coursework overly emphasize the knowledge and technical skills by considering these are most important preparations of graduates for the workforce. However, in recent years, it has been increasingly recognized that graduates with entrepreneurial mindsets are even more highly demanded and valued because such mindsets require years of practice while technical engineering skills, in comparison, can be more readily learned during the job positions.

This work is motivated by the concepts of Entrepreneurial-Minded Learning (EML), which aims at developing entrepreneurial mindsets in students through formalized training and practices on specific subjects. This work-in-progress paper introduces an initiative to develop a module for students to practice the entrepreneurial mindset skills in the senior year medical devices design course. The module focuses on fundamental knowledge and practices on the basics of intellectual property protection strategies, specifically tailored for medical device industry. Students learn the knowledge and skills on intellectual properties from three lectures, and then apply them in team projects to draft provisional patent applications to protect medical device inventions inspired by students themselves. The effectiveness of this module will be mainly assessed by after-class surveys and the student team projects.
