FIT has had great success using this general engineeringmodel to improve student retention and time to graduation; however, improvement can be madein preparing students to be innovative, entrepreneurial-minded professionals. The purpose of thispaper is to describe the activities focused on exposing students to the entrepreneurial mindset andpreparing them for engineering careers.

education is critical to thisprocess of improvement. Engineering, like other disciplines, has unique ways of thinking andknowing (habits of mind) and particular practices of teaching and learning3. These uniquepractices, called ‘signature pedagogies’, organize how future engineers are educated in theprofession.4 Lucas, Hanson and Claxton5 propose that the predominant pedagogy of engineeringdoes not align with true engineering habits of mind (EHoM). This work in progress aims todefine the surface characteristics of engineering education pedagogy by analyzing topicspresented at recent ASEE international conferences.

With that in mind, my colleaguesand I are planning on designing an intermediate Verilog class focused on many of the conceptshighlighted in the previous paragraph. Unlike the introductory computer engineering coursedescribed in this paper, the course will focus solely on Verilog. The lectures will cover Verilogsyntax, best practices, synthesis, etc. and the students must implement all of the homeworkassignments and projects in Verilog to give them more and more practice.

developed as a technique to use with groups[15]. In practice, “brainstorming” refers to anymethod of idea generation where groups or individuals are instructed to generate as many differentideas as possible[21]. Engineering instructors, in many cases, encourage their students to generateideas using “brainstorming,” but may not provide students with specific instruction on how toexecute it (following Osborn). Instead, the term may be used to suggest a “natural” approach tothinking of ideas, pursuing whatever comes to mind in the moment. The expectation is often thatideas should arise without using any cognitive strategy, and without any instructions on how toideate successfully. This lack of instruction often prevents novice engineers from

Without administrative support and relevant incentivesfor individual professors, reform efforts often fade, although a review of multiple studies alsoshows that change cannot be mandated in a top-down approach 36.

difficultto creatively apply to practical engineering problems. Felder and Brent confirm this intuitionwith several studies that show students need repetitive practice with consistent feedback todevelop new skills (1). Simply showing students how to solve a particular problem doesn’tguarantee they can apply these concepts on their own. With these ideas in mind, the lab morphedfrom a traditional recitation to weekly programming challenges solved in a group setting.
