He is a member of ASME, ASEE and the American Society for Composites (ASC). c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Teaching Entrepreneurial Thinking through a Companion Course for all types of Capstone Senior Design ProjectsAbstractEntrepreneurial thinking is recognized as important to the engineering curriculum; however, thetypical entrepreneurship course is not applicable to all senior design projects, especially thosefrom civil engineering. We recognized that product-based entrepreneurship courses need to beexpanded and more flexible. Therefore, we have developed and implemented Senior

theirspecific design project (e.g., doctors’ need for new surgical instruments). Using canvases in thisway also offers opportunities for peer learning, enhanced student-instructor interaction and just-in-time teaching. Lastly, we previously stated that canvases are often created by experts to modela real-world system and that capstone students operate somewhere between novice and expert.The process of creating the canvases as students, while not necessarily resulting in “expert”canvases, can help students as they take the next steps in their transition from novice to expertdesigners. Student-created canvases can be implemented in many ways, and we will providesome example cases illustrating how we’ve used student-created canvases in the

have documented: elective face-to-face courses [3],[4], online courses [5], course concentrations [6], [7], capstone experiences [8], [9], and project-based courses embedded in the engineering curriculum [2], [10]–[12]. Most studies on entrepreneurship education have analyzed psychological outcomes, such asself-efficacy and entrepreneurial intent [13]. Few of them have explored short and long-termeffects on professional competencies and career goals [14]. Some of them have used classroomassessment techniques and academic records to understand students’ conceptions ofentrepreneurial learning [15], [16], but more efforts are needed to explore how students learn aboutentrepreneurship as they develop ownership of their ideas [17].

way for her to create this opportunity. Meanwhile, Claudiawas completing her senior year capstone. The knowledge she gained from her initialentrepreneurship experiences with the EPICS project played a major role in the capstone projectshe selected. Claudia described the process of creating a capstone project when she said: I knew exactly what I wish I had for [previous project name]. I knew exactly the type of device I wanted. What I wish it could have done. All these different things from having spent all this time fighting against these walls because I couldn't get this one to do this. I couldn't get through this and get this policy and so I knew exactly how to do it. And so I pitched that to then I shifted to

this is a feasible approach, wemay also find it necessary and appropriate to design new classes that are innovation-centric. Thedecision on whether or not to do so will be made as we iteratively evaluate and improve theprogram as it evolves.For the Senior Design/Capstone classes and projects, we will look to expand the participationbeyond CoE and WCOB students to those in other colleges as naturally occurs by virtue of theprojects available.In parallel, we will be developing relationships with local businesses and corporations to developmultidisciplinary innovation-based internships, innovation-focused co-op opportunities, andinnovation-based real-life Senior Design/Capstone projects.In the next iteration of the McMillon Innovation Design

The current study expands the previous by exploring criticalincidents that led to new or refined understandings of innovation, but it is necessarily rooted inthe theoretical underpinnings and findings of the previous study. In this section, we summarizethe previous study and discuss how it informs the current investigation.The genesis of this project was a phenomenographic analysis of innovation among

groups to uncover their own thought and biases before discussing difficult orcontroversial topics surrounding engineering innovation with the class as a whole. While thecourse is taught specifically with engineering design in mind, the course has attracted studentsfrom varying majors which has fostered collaboration and creativity in idea generation. Thecombination of critical thinking methodology with innovation concepts has led students to notonly expand their knowledge of potential applications of engineering, but has lead severalstudents to initiate communication with faculty members regarding their ideas for researchopportunities, innovation competitions, and initiated their own projects via applying forUniversity Innovation Fellows
