There is an iterative revisiting ofengineering topics, innovation and entrepreneurship subjects, business acumen, and leadershipengineering themes throughout the courses. The first year introduces core concepts in design,innovation, and entrepreneurship, the second year brings engineering modeling and simulations,and measurements to incorporate technical engineering practices, the third year focuses onentrepreneurship, people, and products, and the capstone year drives innovation in practice,through culminating team-driven projects.

Unfortunately, not every card is a useful resource for adaptation. Some cardslack details or additional uploads of lesson plans, leaving readers looking for more information.Other cards lack clear indications of what the activity entails, or how much time it will take.Additionally cards can be thoroughly well documented, but may be less adaptable because theycontain too much information. As an example, many cards provide details on an entire coursethat has been modified to meet some of the entrepreneurial mindset competencies.

This was an opportunity for participants to test ideas from the workshops with a supportsystem in place and guidance as needed, all in a safe way. Coaching cut across disciplines inengineering and course levels and was successful in helping many faculty implement workshopideas [2].In 2020 nine in-person workshops were planned. The plans shifted swiftly to a remote formatdue to COVID-19 and raised several research questions aligned with this transition: 1.

Project for Civil Engineering Freshmen to Enhance Their Entrepreneurial MindsetIntroduction In a 1972 article entitled, “Mickey Mouse for Mayor!” [1] Peter Blake said, “…it is WaltDisney Productions, and not our innumerable U.S city planning agencies and experts, that hasreally created the first, great, vibrant New Towns in America.” Walt Disney Imagineering,which is responsible for the design and construction of Disney projects, seems to understand thedesign process better than most. One might say they are particularly entrepreneurial in theirmindset and approach. They exhibit curiosity and creativity; they connect various disciplines toaccomplish major tasks; and they undoubtedly create value with nearly every project

The program overall is designed to augment the wayin which students learn across multiple semesters and plans-of-study rather than just serving asadditional courses to add to their course load. Therefore, the program is designed to provide allstudents, regardless of their major, a multi-semester learning experience focused on the actualpursuit of innovation. By doing so
