curriculum,requiring an efficient and integrated process. By incorporating EML in different coursesequences such as circuits, electronic design, and communication sequences, students will havethe opportunity to develop and build up their entrepreneurial mindset.The paper reviews the CoE’s experience and preliminary evaluation results of integrating EMLin our junior level course EE375 Electronic Design I. EE375 is the first electronics course of athree-course electronics design sequence. The course covers circuits design using diodes andtransistors with several laboratory experiments.This lab modification is part of a curriculum-wide effort to integrate EML to different coursesequences. Students will be repeatedly exposed to entrepreneurship skills
these problems. They must also be able todevelop their own brand and sell themselves as teachers and researchers. According to the deansinterviewed, the most common ways EM could help faculty is through enhancing the impact oftheir research and having them place more value in educational innovation. This is exemplifiedperfectly by the following quote from a dean J at an R1/R2 private institution: I am really speaking about using research funding to develop technologies that have, generally, commercial application, but that could be put to broader use beyond an individual laboratory. One of the descriptors I've used is, "science that doesn't stop at the laboratory door." Meaning, publishing the paper is wonderful, but
Engineering from the USAF Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado and his M. S. in Engineering from Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey. After serving as USAF pilot in KC-135 and KC-10 aircraft, he completed his DPhil in Engineering Sciences at the University of Oxford, United Kingdom and returned to the USAF Academy to teach heat transfer and propulsion systems. At Baylor University, he teaches courses in laboratory techniques, fluid mechanics, energy systems, and propulsion systems, as well as freshman engineering. Research interests include renewable energy to include small wind turbine aerodynamics and experimental convective heat transfer as applied to HVAC and gas turbine systems

Education, 2018 Effect of Entrepreneurial Mindset on Funding Opportunities for Fundamental ResearchAbstractProliferation of Lean Launchpad, a curriculum designed by Steve Blank and adopted by NationalScience Foundation as Innovation-Corps program, has created myriad opportunities forcommercialization of existing technology and funding innovative ideas which otherwise mayhave never seen the light of the day. Identifying the merits of funding research based on valueproposition and customer demand, key components of the Business Model Canvas, has created aparadox for Endowment Funds, Family Offices and even Federal Funding agencies on whetherto continue support for fundamental research in hi-tech laboratories or to think like a VentureCapital investor

He has also worked on several photovoltaic system projects Dr. Singh has also worked on electric vehicle research, working on battery monitoring and management systems funded primarily by federal agencies (over $3.5 million of funding). Dr. Singh has consulted for several companies including Ford Motor Company and Epuron, LLC. He has also served as a reviewer for the US Department of Energy and National Science Foundation. Dr Singh has over 100 conference and journal publications and holds six issued US patents. Dr. Singh’s recent work is focused on
College was 48% (an increase of 2% abs. year-over-year) and for the WCOB was 45%(a decrease of more than 3% abs. year-over-year) [7]. One of the most effective means ofimproving retention is to provide authentic STEM experiences involving “…hypothesis-driven, hands-on experimentation in which the outcome is unknown, peer-to-peer support, faculty-student interactions, and academic support…. Classroom-based strategies that engage students in authentic STEM experiences are in line with evidence-based instructional strategies that require moving away from lectures and recipe-based laboratory exercises toward more open-ended and student-driven STEM experiences…. Undergraduate research programs and internships

The entrepreneurial mindset plusengineering skillset has been used to develop educational outcomes for several engineeringcourses.The text highlighted in yellow are focused on the entrepreneurial skills and the ones with shadesof blue are focused on the technical skills (also in white background under the heading ‘design’).CoE has already incorporated elements of Active Collaborative Learning (ACL) and Problem –Based Learning (PBL) into its program curriculum with emphasis on the system engineeringprocess and system thinking for either the laboratory-centered or capstone courses [2] [21] [22].However, adding new Entrepreneurial-Minded Learning (EML) courses in an already packedundergraduate curriculum is a
