to prepare students today for the future.On the other hand, Industry representatives shared their experiences and recommendations oneducating engineers for the 21st century during the National Academy of Engineering annualmeeting in [8]. While acknowledging that engineering schools already produce technicallycompetent graduates, they need engineers who are: creative, can work in teams, and cancommunicate and share their thoughts and ideas. They emphasized that engineering schoolsshould involve students in projects from day one and not rely on capstone design to practiceproblem-solving and learn about partnerships, relationships, and exchanging ideas. To help meetthis challenge, Jarrar and Anis suggested that integrating entrepreneurial
Introduction to Engineering and the other one isSenior Capstone Design. Introduction to Engineering usually provides engineering students with a betterunderstanding of engineering disciplines through hands on experience and can engage students. SeniorCapstone Design courses offer rich opportunities for engineering students to work in teams or individuallyon industrial and real-world projects [2][3]. However, Introduction to Engineering is usually offered at thebeginning of freshman year, and Senior Capstone Design is usually offered during a student’s senior year.As a result, there are commonly limited design opportunities for engineering students in between.Second, many universities are emphasizing experiential learning and encourage engineering
identificationof customer requirements [2]. Substantial interaction between mechanical engineering andentrepreneurship students in a senior level capstone course resulted in noteworthy improvementsin final project quality [3].When entrepreneurship is present, as it is in this study, a recent literature review identified a needfor more studies that measure its educational impacts [4]. This is not a new conclusion.Immersion in a process, such as the one conducted in this study, or even a simulation allowschildren to learn extensive amounts of information in short periods of time [5]. However, fewpedagogical impact investigations interrogate more than direct, overall academic achievement,even with one of the most studied constructs, achievement motivation [6
-endedproblem-solving is because of the limited guidance or literature on how to effectively integratewicked, real-world problems into engineering courses at the level of technical core.1.1 Current Approaches: Capstone Design and Co-op/InternshipIt is known that capstone experiences instituted in various formats do provide an effectiveculminating opportunity to engineering students for gaining a real-world experience with theengineering design process. However, since capstone projects come at the very last semester(s)and since each project cannot cover the whole range of technical areas that students are expectedto learn in their degree program, this approach cannot be the only solution for creating learningexperiences that support the growth of
sostudents have more opportunities to develop entrepreneurial knowledge, skills, and attitudes, andbecome better prepared for startup weekends and other projects.We are developing a Stage Gate model (e.g., [11], [12], [13]) for Palm Institute to guide andsupport student projects across the four years of undergraduate education. Project concepts mightoriginate in informal conversations, courses, or co-curricular workshops. Projects might developthrough early stages during a startup weekend or as course assignments or projects. Promisingprojects might develop as independent study courses, or capstone projects, and be supported withequipment, materials, space, or other resources.AcknowledgementsThis work was supported by the Naa Amerley Palm Education
Native American Engineering StudentsABSTRACTEngineering students have limited opportunities for experiential learning, especially at TribalColleges and Universities, where engineering programs tend to be small, and resources areextremely limited. Typically, the first and senior years of a student's engineering educationjourney are infused with hands-on projects and capstone courses. However, the sophomore andjunior years generally need more opportunities for active learning, gaining professional skills,and developing a sense of professional practice. Also, scholars have increasingly realized thatarts subjects help students understand connections between different disciplines from acomprehensive perspective.This study highlights findings from
approach of Experiential Learning (EL), Entrepreneurial Mindset(EM), and real-world application using the entrepreneurially minded curriculum, for engineeringand technology courses.The purpose of this study is to highlight findings and lessons learned because of integrating anentrepreneurially minded interdisciplinary project (including bio-inspired design and STEAM)into the engineering technology classroom. Specifically, curriculum changes were implementedinto a course on programming industrial robots (as part of the minor in robotics). This course isdesigned for teaching technology students how to install, maintain, and work with industrialrobots through real-world applications. This course also assists students in discovering thecapability of

-curricular activities and curricularcoursework. EEPs can vary in intensity, type of delivery, and mentorship and can differ within andbetween disciplines such as business and engineering [13], [15], [16]. For example, engineeringEEPs tend to focus more on innovation, while business EEPs emphasize working toward venturecreation and imparting business knowledge [13]. For instance, North Carolina State University, aprogram founded in 1993, offers weekly seminars and team-based projects with anentrepreneurial focus unique to engineering [17]. On the other hand, capstone projects inbusiness schools may have a more individualistic focus in the form of a written analysis of abusiness case study [17

. KEEN operationalizes EM into the “3C’s”, which represent a set of desiredEntrepreneurially Minded Learning (EML) outcomes that include Curiosity, Connections, andCreating Value [13]. The Ohio State University (OSU) began its partnership with KEEN in 2017and has since integrated the 3C’s into many courses across the College of Engineering. Theseinitiatives began with the restructuring of the design-build course in the First-Year EngineeringProgram (FYEP) standard sequence [15] and have expanded to the FYEP honors sequence,Capstone courses, and intermediate engineering courses. Efforts to assess students’ EM haveparalleled these integrations, including the development of 14 Entrepreneurial Mindset LearningObjectives (EMLOs) [16] and a “toolkit
