tothe identification of a client or customer base that self-conceived project-teams without atargeted consumer are either asked to rethink the concept or are not approved.By guiding learners toward the entrepreneurial-mindset with real world application andaccountability, the program endeavors to make the complexities of authentic engineering designmore tractable, bringing tasks within the learner’s zone of proximal development [19,20]. Theinstructor’s role is that of a mentor and facilitator, never the client, to scaffold this transition andmake the process attainable. Below is a list of targeted learning outcomes, where the successfulstudent exhibits the ability to:  Translate in-classroom theory into real world design using professional

how one might impact the world in the future.Entrepreneurship and sustainability often seem to be at odds with one another. Asimplistic definition would be that entrepreneurship focuses more on short-term value(often localized to particular stakeholders), while sustainability is focused on long-termvalue (often regional or global) (Tranquillo, 2017). Both, however, are oriented towardthe future and there are in fact many marriages between the two. Programs such as socialentrepreneurship in engineering schools and sustainable finance programs inside ofbusiness schools have grown in popularity. Furthermore, the entrepreneurial mindset,although not well defined (Zappe, 2013), is focused on developing the habits, behaviorsand attitudes of an

It is not enough to simply have activities where participants follow step-by-step directions.Participants must be able to experience problems they could encounter as engineers and theymust be able to problem-solve and create their own meaningful experiences. One thing that couldbe incorporated in activities is the entrepreneurial mindset, a term often used by KernEngineering Entrepreneurial Network (KEEN). This mindset is meant to inspire progress andlearning in engineering with the three cornerstones being curiosity, connection, and value. KEENoften emphasizes the importance of being curious about innovative solutions in the changingworld

As we discuss in the following section, educators haveattempted different approaches to identifying realistic software projects, but doing so is often atodds with adopting Agile methods. Meanwhile, students in Entrepreneurship programs also require experiential learning totransition from a “novice entrepreneurship mindset” to practice entrepreneurial processes anddevelop practical skills [6].

Other studies have identified the staff-user ratio and thefloor space-user ratio as factors for success [6] as well as sustainable faculty leadership,management, and mentorship as critical elements for nurturing student values and co-ownership[7].There remains, however, a need to understand how participation in makerspaces impacts studentdevelopment as engineers.

found in France, the U.S. educational system clearly drawssignificantly on entrepreneurial energies, going back well before the present neoliberal era. Onthe other hand, Cold War science policy has also contributed to the diversity of U.S. academicinstitutions (Geiger 1993, 2015). While this diversity has allowed the U.S. educational system tobe highly productive in generating a highly versatile and skilled workforce as well as newknowledge, this can also frustrate efforts to craft uniform visions and standards withinengineering education.
