experience.Results Each student was encouraged to thoroughly describe their most memorable, importantexperiences and the impacts of those experiences. A thematic analysis was completed on theseexperiences and impacts. The research design naturally produced two main themes: (1)entrepreneurship experiences and (2) impacts. The main experiences students decided to discusswere related to participating in funding competitions, developing their project, experiencingchallenges and failures, taking entrepreneurship classes, and networking. The main impacts thatwere discussed were related to the development of an entrepreneurial mindset, new knowledgeand skills, and modified personal and project goals. These experiences and impacts are discussedin detail in

authors,but its presentation and analysis is left for subsequent papers.ConclusionsEmpathy as well as innovation-related self-efficacy and interests are believed to help engineerscreate solutions that better match the needs of their end-users, whether they were designing in thecontext of a larger firm or a startup. However, research on the effect of engineering education onthe development of empathy is virtually nonexistent, and even studies linking empathy toinnovation outcomes are rare. This study takes a first step towards evidence-based practice bydemonstrating that graduate students’ self-reported empathy (as measured by perspective takingtendencies) as well as their innovation self-efficacy (as measured by confidence in design

graduate, having an entrepreneurial mindset will help thembecome creative and valuable engineers. “EML is not about start-ups, it is about thinkingcreatively and creating value for society” [2]. However, it is not easy for students to build upentrepreneurial skills within one course or a couple of courses in an already crowded engineeringprogram. The College of Engineering (CoE) at Colorado Technical University (CTU) decided toembed entrepreneurial skills in engineering learning activities for a number of coursesthroughout the program curriculum, requiring an efficient and integrated process. Byincorporating EML in different course sequences such as circuits, electronic design, andcommunication sequences, students will have the opportunity to

Hence, graduates of the ESIP-Project will have new career optionsincluding choices for becoming patent engineers and patent agents, in addition to traditionaltechnical career choices.This paper includes an overview of the three-course sequence, as well as evaluation results of theimplementation of the first course. A survey was designed by the investigators and implementedpre and post course. The survey included three constructs: Knowledge of IP Concepts, InnovativeProduct Design, and Careers in Patent Law. Following reliability testing procedures, studentresponses to these constructs were compared

you keep in mind that some of the respondents graduated 16 years ago.In order to increase response-rate we took multiple actions that were developed based on pastexperiences and best practices [40]: • The invitations and survey featured clear but appealing design with photos of the course • We ensured concise content without unnecessary details. The content of the three e- mails varied slightly, highlighting various values for the respondent each time: the opportunity to give something back to their alma mater and prospective students by further improving the curriculum; the chance to reflect on their own educational and career goals; and an opportunity to win a prize. • The initial drafts took 20

Integrating the Entrepreneurial Mindset as an Engineering Educator o Pedagogical and Professional Development Resources o Resistance and ChangeAt Baylor University, these seminars and workshops have become a part of the culture of theSchool of ECS. At the start of each semester faculty ask when the workshops will begin and lookforward to seeing their colleagues and discussion how to become better educators. One indicationof the impact of these workshops is that after the CATME workshop, the decision was made touse CATME in both the junior and senior design classes (Engineering Design I and II)Best Practices in Faculty Development: What Works? What Doesn’t Work?Many institutions have workshops for faculty development and much has
