American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Entrepreneuring oneself: Integrating professional growth in an engineering design and entrepreneurship course sequenceAbstractIn the Department of Engineering Education and Leadership at the University of Texas atEl Paso, we have a required two-course sequence at the junior level covering engineeringdesign and engineering entrepreneurship. In its original embodiment, we knew that ourstudents learned a great deal about product-market fit, design, and business models, butthe course lacked content that provided direct learning about the students’ aspirations,professional growth, and career planning. To address this gap, we integrated designthinking about the students’ own lives

Its goal is to make middle school studentsand their parents aware of STEM career paths in addition to engage and attract the students toSTEM fields and careers. To this end, the project focuses on getting the students involved ingroup activities to develop solutions for real-world problems that involve Engineering, ComputerScience and Business concepts. Toward this goal, business entrepreneurship practices, including the traditional new-venturecreation approach and the emerging Lean startup approach, have been applied to stimulate andengage students in STEM learning. Both approaches offered students ways to

Students who arecurious go beyond what they need to know for the test, ask “Why?” and are better poised totransfer knowledge between courses and in their ongoing careers. This first of EM’s three C’s isalso recognized more broadly as a key attribute; for example, in “Curious” by Leslie, oncedemographic factors are accounted for, it is curiosity and conscientiousness that are correlatedwith student success [2].Closely linked to curiosity, motivation helps describe students’ intention to realize this curiosity.There are a number of lenses through which to view both curiosity and motivation.

The formativeuse of the assessment instruments employed is limited, so more efforts are needed to evaluateentrepreneurial training towards its continuous improvement. This article proposes a methodologyto involve students in curriculum evaluation so they become partners in curriculum delivery andteaching practices. To explore its benefits, we applied it on a Major focused on engineering design,entrepreneurship and innovation.

while the world has experienced a growth in the number of institutions andprograms teaching engineering, graduate numbers are not increasing accordingly because of alack of qualified faculty, necessitating an emphasis on faculty development, especially at the entrylevel [2]. Reviewing the literature shows the prevailing philosophy regarding facultydevelopment is rather obvious. Faculty development is an ongoing process that should not stop atany level of an academic career, from new hire to a seasoned professor. Khedkar attempts todefine faculty development in the university as: “the process which is undertaken to bring about qualitative changes in the competence of individual faculty members in fulfilling their obligations to

Self-efficacy has been extensively examined inresearch investigating career goals [9], [10] and has been noted as a critical factor for studyingindividual behavior [8], [10]. In entrepreneurship domain, self-efficacy has been contextualizedas entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) or an individuals’ self-perceptions of their skills andabilities related to successfully performing entrepreneurial tasks [11]–[13].Due to its specificity to entrepreneurship practice, ESE has been widely studied inentrepreneurship research when compared to general self-efficacy due to its impact of severalentrepreneurship-related attributes. Specifically, while several researchers have examined ESE asa

R.Dickson from the Department of Chemical and Process Engineering at the University ofStrathclyde in Scotland reports that “the MBA approach to career development is not the mostrelevant form of education and training for engineers” and argues instead for “business trainingfor the engineer” [emphasis added] (p. 1). The author offers an alternative called “IntegratedGraduate Development Schemes,” which is described as “a Technical MBA, since it mixesadvanced technical subjects with business management” (p. 7).

-efficacy model [10] and the social cognitive career theory [22] have been widelyutilized in engineering education research. These models define self-efficacy as an individual’sbelief in their ability to successfully complete tasks and reach desired outcomes. Further, it isclaimed that an individual’s perceived self-efficacy towards a specific activity influences theirinterest towards it, both of which indirectly influence the individual’s choice to further practicethe activity and gain proficiency at it. This finding was repeated in engineering education by across-sectional study on educators and students, where it was found that engineering design self-efficacy was influenced by experience and correlated with task-specific motivation (i.e

However, students many not encounter these subjects through their requiredengineering courses until their junior or senior year, typically during a capstone design course.While opportunities exist for students to learn about innovation and entrepreneurship throughelective courses, these options are not typically available to first-year students or do not fulfill arequirement for their academic plan.First-year courses are the cornerstone experiences that expose students to foundational conceptsand foster the development of skills necessary for students to succeed in their field of study andultimately their career.

Forexample, when asked to identify the most important strengths of the minor, a senior explained, “Iwould say it’s how interconnected it is with the real world … there is nothing that you dotowards your final project that's just for the sake of the class. …so that’s one of its biggeststrengths, that sort of real-world feel.” Similarly, one junior asserted that “a lot of us may want towork in a [start-up] atmosphere like that,” so the hands-on work of prototyping “gives you ataste for what it can be like.” These students viewed the minor as laying a foundation fortheir future work
