years of undergraduatebiological and agricultural engineering (BAE) curricula, which are usually dominated by moretheoretically focused engineering science courses. This paper describes one effort to introducean entrepreneurial minded engineering project into a 3rd year BAE Thermodynamics course.Thermodynamics is a required course in 94% of BAE undergraduate programs (Kaleita andRaman, 2012). The goal for this project was to have the students apply their newly developedthermodynamics skills in a real-world setting, while developing an entrepreneurial engineeringmindset and making a difference in peoples’ lives.2. MethodsA compelling context. The context for the project is food insecurity (Dubick et al., 2016). Oneproblem at the local foodbank’s
