By social context, wemean, for this study, the gendered and racialized contexts in environmental work. In fact, wewould expect these contexts to come into play even in the selection of their major—climateeffects, public environmental discourse, and environmental policy all have gendered and racialsocial components that frame students’ matriculation into the major as much as their journeysthrough and beyond it.

Examples are provided below. words for engineers: “Your work is more than plans and specifications. Your work is more than creating a design for a client. Your work impacts people, communities, and the landscape. You have a responsibility to be aware of the negative impacts of the work you engage in.” A reminder to keep community in mind in every step of the process…. One element from Chief Albert’s presentation that I personally found most impactful was the list of his Tribe’s values. When I read the RAE report about sustainability, I only thought about the impact that civil engineers
offer a new technical elective, the providedhigh-level overview of a course is likely not helpful. As an example, one faculty membercommented on a card, “This project is well thought out and comprehensive. If I were designing acourse from scratch I would strongly consider using this as the thread through the course as theauthors did,” [17], and plenty of other supportive but not-ready-as-is comments exist on the cardpages. Ultimately, engineering faculty already feel the pressure of having to teach too manytopics within each course, and many faculty members have trouble finding the time toincorporate entrepreneurially-minded learning into their courses [16]. Shared resources that arefull courses or even month-long projects are unlikely to be

Theworst-case for a start-up is to run out of resources and close-up shop while preparing the bestpatent portfolio to go to market. The lean start-up movement has realigned priorities somewhatwith keeping the customer discovery and value proposition at the ‘top of mind’ along with speedto revenues.In academia, the push for science and engineering faculty to generate IP has significantlyincreased over the last decade.

analyzing the 26 concept maps and creating one master concept map, it wasfound that EM is composed of character traits, attitudes, and behaviors, such as thinking outsideof the box, being open minded, being a risk taker, and critical thinking [27].The final stakeholder that is important to consider are students. There have been limited studieson students' definitions of EM in the engineering context, though a few studies have addressedbusiness student perspectives on entrepreneurial qualities. Some common attributes ofentrepreneurs given by undergraduate business students in the School of Economics at theUniversity of Turku in Finland are courage, social skills, supporting others, serving society, andmaking an effort to attain common goals [28].

Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Developing a Direct Assessment for Measuring Students’ Ability to Make ConnectionsAbstractThe integration of entrepreneurial minded learning (EML) into engineering courses to developstudents’ entrepreneurial mindset (EM) is growing in popularity through efforts such as the KernEntrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN). As the integration of EML occurs, it is importantto assess students’ development of an EM to inform the efficacy of course changes. FollowingKEEN’s definition, we operationalize EM as the ability to create value, make connections, andbe curious. While we acknowledge the importance of all aspects of EML, in this full paper, wefocus on assessing students

Please note most conclusions areabout the future since most of the prototyping had to do with the present which acted as abaseline and the average person prototypes for present times were nearly identically to another.SummaryStudents often use existing commonly available technologies and/or methods to prototypepresent items. For near future things they may use existing less cost-efficient technologies, suchas an iPad carrying drone, seen in the Results section, to do novel activities. For the far futurestudents

universities [1][2], butalso helps students embody design thinking and an entrepreneurial mindset [3].Regardless of the discipline applied, a common thread to engineering for healthcare (and othercomplex problems) is the application of design thinking. A core value of design thinking is thehuman-centered approach to solutions that can be effectively implemented [4]. In the trainingprocess, students are asked to determine the customer’s needs and to evaluate whether theproposed design is truly a solution to the problem. Importantly, coming up with an effectivedesign relies on a few habits of mind that are found in many innovators. The KEEN organizationcomprises these habits as the three C’s – curiosity, connections, creating value [5]. In

We therefore call upon researchers to explore morecritically learning contexts with an eye toward exposing the implicit White, male dominant normsand their effects on the discipline. As many have shown [12], [41] engineers have been ratheruncritical of their working contexts—looking for alternate explanations and anemic solutions likerecruitment to resolve inequity.
