Rachel described how the constraints helped her come up with a suitable design, whilethe absence of constraints would likely be overwhelming: “I actually found the constraints helpful, it helped me narrow in on a useful design, rather than the infinite possibilities if we were allowed to design it any way we wanted” Proceedings of the 2022 ASEE North Central Section Conference Copyright © 2022, American Society for Engineering Education 8 The first ideas that came to mind would

purposes for writing and address the expectations of audiences in disciplinary contexts.This second outcome addresses two important components of the rhetorical situation–audienceand purpose. Writing in mechanical engineering is driven by a focus on clear and concise problemdefinition. It revolves around reporting problem-solving outcomes. Students practice defining problemsand writing reports on solutions concisely. This helps them attain the outcome of meeting audienceexpectations. Resources for students will include a guest speaker from the UWC and/or from industrywho present on how to write technical reports, memos, and emails with a clear purpose and their audiencein mind. Samples will be available on Canvas as reference materials

those dispositions, skill levels,and practical tasks that are reasonably expected of graduates.6Within the United States, a similar call has been made for incorporating an entrepreneurialmindset into undergraduate engineering curricula. EM is a multi-faceted concept comprising awide range of characteristics, skills, and attitudes; its curricular presence is often implemented inways that enable an institution to best leverage its resources, including faculty background,available partnerships, and funding opportunities. 7 As defined by KEEN, entrepreneurial mindsetis a habit of mind geared toward action; a way of thinking about the world that empowers peopleto identify opportunities and create value in any context.8 Network members from more than
