increasingly complex world, higher educationinstitutions are more and more promoting entrepreneurial mindset and integratingentrepreneurship elements in their programs. Integration of entrepreneurially minded learning inengineering courses, which promotes entrepreneurial mindset and skills, is an approach that isgaining momentum among individual faculty members. This paper presents such effort involvinga junior level engineering statistics course. Given the abundance of data in today’s world and theimportance of extracting meaning out of them, statistics is an important tool for any disciplineincluding engineering. This importance is summed up in the following quote from WalterShewhart, who is known as the father of statistical quality control: “The

It is then assumed that a faculty member is expected to demonstrate her or his ability in the competencies proposed by the model. Specifically, CDIO Standards 9 and 10 address the issue of faculty training for the development of these competencies.[4]. With this in mind, the current research seeks to answer the question, do the faculties of engineering schools need to improve and update their knowledge, skills and attitudes in order to demonstrate their ability to guarantee the learning process of students under the requirements of engineering education standards such as CDIO or ABET

Sense of belonging is a salient factor that enhances in-group feelingsthat confirm group membership and help develop stronger identity with the group [19]. Whileplanning and designing an intervention for empowering women in engineering classrooms, itshould be kept in mind whether the intervention is able to foster a sense of belonging in away that women feel they are a part of the engineering community.

]. Shortly after World War I, there was an increasing classconsciousness within the American Society of Mechanical Engineers which led Thorstein Veblen[36], however erroneously, to posit in Engineers and the Price System that if there were to be aworkers’ revolution in industrial America, it would come via a “Soviet of Technicians.” Layton[37] unpacks Veblen’s errors in reading the power, position, and organization of the engineeringprofession.This internal contradiction has historically led to tensions within groups of engineers, with moremanagerial-minded engineers veering and lobbying for the growth of professional societies,which largely worked to exclude other technical workers as a means to protect the white-collarclass position of engineers

organizations, low levels ofretention and promotion of racial minorities and women in the workplace indicate a lack ofinclusion within workplace cultures (Cook & Glass, 2013; Giscombe & Mattis, 2002; Hom &Ellis, 2008). With this in mind, ABET’s approach to Criteria 3 specifically identifies the abilityto create inclusive environments in engineering teams. Creating these inclusive environments requires individuals to practice behaviors thatfoster individuals’ feelings of belonging. Shore, Randel, Chung, and Dean (2011) go one stepbeyond belongingness in their definition of inclusion to include “the degree to which anemployee perceives that he or she is an esteemed member of the work group throughexperiencing treatment that satisfies

Throughout the process, I was struck by the fact thatpracticing engineers on the site describe how they love their jobs, but are very vocal about thefact that they face barriers because they are women and that engineering is a difficult anddemanding profession. Furthermore, young women are encouraged to use individual strategiesthat often focus on cultivating a confident subjectivity and engaging in hard work to overcomebarriers in engineering.

today’s global economy, engineering graduates need to be prepared to possess both a strongtechnical skill set and an entrepreneurial mindset (EM) to drive innovations. According toKriewall and Mekemson [1], “an entrepreneurial minded engineer (i.e., an engineer instilled withthe entrepreneurial mindset) places product benefits before design features and leveragestechnology to fill unmet customer needs”. So, an engineer that is entrepreneurially minded canfocus on unmet customer needs and consider the benefits and impact of their designs in additionto their technical details. Many engineering programs and educators have now recognized theimportance of instilling an entrepreneurial mindset and many efforts have been made to improveprograms and
