Engineering Education, 2015 Opportunity Thinktank: Laying a foundation for the entrepreneurially minded engineerIntroductionDesign projects have become a principal element of the undergraduate engineering curriculum.Recently, using the KEEN philosophy, there is momentum to push engineering education furtherby fostering an entrepreneurial mindset among students. Providing a basic set of engineeringskills in specific specialty areas of study is no longer sufficient. Engineers design solutions formarketplace problems. As such it is imperative that they approach the marketplace in search ofopportunities for which they can design break-through solutions. This is the mindset of theentrepreneur. The need for entrepreneurial thinking is pervasive among

Nowhere in the world isthis more evident than in the hotbed of ideas that is Silicon Valley2.One group of students at a Silicon Valley university understands particularly well what goes intofostering effective storytelling. Their course, “Tales to Design Cars By” is offered in the Collegeof Engineering’s mechanical engineering design program. Students and faculty both are carenthusiasts and non-car enthusiasts. The class features a generative storytelling experience withstudents defining and examining their personal car experiences, and using their findings toinform new design. These

For engineering alumni who have been entrepreneurs in the past, what activities led them to either become more entrepreneurially-minded or divert to a non- entrepreneurial career path?The participants in this study were 484 alumni who received their undergraduate engineeringdegrees in 2007 from four different universities in the United States. Our research aims to helpengineering educators understand the factors that promote and contribute to entrepreneurialpursuits among engineering alumni. In addition, by identifying what factors or circumstancesinfluence entrepreneurial activities, engineering schools may design programs and identifypotential opportunities for intervention.1
