, Services, and Systems: Infusing the Entrepreneurial Mindset in Undergraduate and Graduate Industrial Engineering Training AbstractA typical IE course in sustainability engineering introduces students to engineering design,manufacturing, supply, and systems aspects while highlighting global sustainability, energymanagement, and life cycle analysis. Although such courses provide students with theknowledge required to assess the environmental impacts of existing products, services, andsystems, they suffer from a few common weaknesses: (1) they focus more on analysis and muchless on front-end design of environmentally sound products; (2) in many IE curricula, these areonly elective

Though programming istaught in many STEM disciplines, these introductory courses are often taught within computerscience and thus are typically referred to as CS1 [3]. Topics covered in a typical CS 1 courseinclude types, control flow, basic data structures (e.g., arrays), foundational problems andalgorithms (e.g., sorting), and simple recursion [4].CS1 courses are often seen as the entry point to computing

Education.1. Introduction The competency-based education model, widely supported in the literature [1]-[3], hasbeen one of the paths taken by higher education institutions concerned with offeringundergraduate programs aligned to the market and societal needs. The concept of competencyaims to link the market and academia, stimulating debates about what future engineers areexpected to know, do, and behave professionally. This concept is also essential in studies onthe profile of the modern engineer, and higher education institutions have been underpressure to develop competencies in their students to align with society and the labor marketneeds [4]-[7]. Yet, to achieve that, a curricular transformation is necessary to adapt teaching to

This project-based investment exercise can be easilypedagogically justified by essential body of knowledge in favor of experiential learning [1] - [3],implementations of Kolb’s experiential learning cycle (KLC) [4] - [6], and project-based learning(PBL), the pedagogy implemented frequently in early engineering education [7] - [9].

The need for improved integration of professional standards inengineering education has been long recognized [1].The inclusion of standards in the senior capstone course is part of the ABET accreditationprocess for engineering programs [2], and many students begin to develop a deeperunderstanding of the importance of codes and standards through the capstone experience.
