]. At the same time, a large proportion of oursample was first year engineering students in a general engineering program where a portion ofthe content focuses on choosing academic majors so this may have been on student’s minds. Ofparticular note is the perceived importance (or lack thereof) of sexual orientation on the qualityof engineering solutions. Such a result is challenging to interpret; for example, the low score forthe importance of sexual orientation does not necessarily imply that respondents do not “value”diversity in sexual orientation, though it could. Instead, a low score might imply that respondentsdo not understand how or why someone’s sexual orientation might influence the quality of anengineering solution. In this way

Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN). The KEEN framework [5]is based on the premise that an entrepreneurial mindset is characterized by a persistent curiosityof all things, the skills to make connections between seemingly unrelated things, and an ever-present goal to create value. The dimensions of curiosity, connections, and creating value areoften referred to as the 3C’s. In addition to these three dimensions, the KEEN framework addsopportunity and impact as complementary skills within the realm of the entrepreneurial mindset.The framework provides specific learning outcomes for the five dimensions; see Table 1.

universities well to remember that industries are the sine qua non of real engineering activities (33) .Be broad minded and think long range.In this vein, the major engineering problems of local industries along with theirpotential solutions should be focused on, properly framed, and clearly identified inopen forums (e.g. through technical seminars, capstone courses and projects, theseswork, etc.). This would help to set the stage by: disseminating relevant information,generating technical debate, and examining potential solutions from differentperspectives. To come to grip with the needs of the industry and develop the potentialto tackle industries’ main problems and concerns, universities have to reach out,market their services, and do a better

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

public I should always keep an open mind and consider different groups. A sentence from the lecture that resonated with me and I wrote down was ‘If we don’t design for everyone - not everyone benefits from engineering.’” “These lectures and quiz sections have been my favorite so far in this class. Learning about how extreme the lack of diversity in the STEM field is was stunning to me… I had never considered that social biases could be reflected in science, a topic which I took for cold hard facts.” Comments on weaknesses and areas for improvement: Feeling that [university] generally is very biased in one direction can be intimidating.

The student-mentors receiveda two-day training prior to the beginning of the camp in order to familiarize them with thecurriculum. The curriculum consisted of engineering habits of mind, design thinking, 3-D designand printing, and foundations in computing.
