modules into a single course, it is hypothesizedthat not only are the benefits of each exercise combined, but the student learning from onemodule can be used to inform the activities of the other modules. Ideally, the complementaryroles that these learning modules play will encourage a deeper and more thorough interest in andunderstanding of engineering entrepreneurship than can be achieved with a single module alone.The present paper will discuss the implementation of these modules along with studentperception and self-assessment data from the 2018-19 academic year.Course SequenceSenior design projects in the Mechanical Engineering Department at The Citadel are created aspart of a two-semester senior capstone course sequence in which design

Interdisciplinary BmE Capstone Design Course to Enable the Continued Supported Employment of Persons With DisabilityAbstract (Mission and Outcomes)A humanitarian need exists to help individuals with disability remain employed in a supportedwork setting. In partnership with a local not-for-profit service agency, our students carried out anentrepreneurial multi-year interdisciplinary biomedical engineering capstone project that innova-tively involved using commercial industrial electronics to make beverage container recyclingmore worker-friendly, flow-efficient and accountable. The project’s mission was to improve theefficiency of, and maximize the dollar return from, a beverage container recycling business,while taking into account

In addition, entrepreneurial-minded learning (EML)activities were implemented in several courses in electrical engineering and computerengineering based on the recent results in the undergraduate program. For this project,background and explanation of the frameworks are described in a capstone course for the

because they cannot take time away from the paying jobs that are supporting their education.Other possible factors affecting the choices of students could include (2) Students completing their junior year do not want to take time away from their senior- year studies, including their capstone project, and (3) Students completing their senior year do not want to take the risk of pursuing a startup when they could instead obtain a “real” job.And other factors, certainly, may play a role, too. For example, it is possible that that thestudents’ projects, while worthwhile, were not at a level of significance that students felt justifiedfurther effort. The university may not have provided all the elements of the incubate stage of

DEEP POOL’s effectiveness prove equal to or better than itsconventional analog, this novel laboratory pedagogy can emerge as a powerful way to conductentrepreneurial new product development activities in engineering laboratories in partnershipwith industry.IntroductionCapstone projects usually produce working prototypes for external customers addressing needsin industry, faculty research labs, and/or entrepreneurial ventures. In fact, we so highly valuelearning environments where student labor produces tangible outcomes that many ABETaccredited schools intentionally build multi-semester immersive Capstone Design projects intotheir curricula. If these experiences are so valuable, why must they come at the end of a degreeprogram? Is it possible

the problem given to them. Students oftengain confidence from these projects and provide statements such as “made me more excitedabout the major”, “made me want to take more classes to learn all that I still don’t know”, “whatI had been waiting for”, “what we are here for”, and “one of the few times where you actuallyapply, hands on, the theory that you learn all through school.” 10 These ‘capstone’ projectsusually take place during the student’s senior year.In the conventional senior-level ‘capstone’ project-centered learning project, the student has norole in the problem’s conceptual development. The problem along with all of its parameters isgiven to the student, and the student’s sole responsibility is generating the solution.Conversely

does not need to be the only source of innovation from research universities.Innovation can also come through students by way of purposely developed or enhanced courses,pedagogy, and experiences designed to create a spark or foster an existing spark, fan the flames,and fuel them to help them grow. It is unfortunate to create the spark in first-year students andthen ignore it until it is time for the senior design / capstone project; the innovators need tocontinue to learn, experience, and grow throughout their academic career. To be a meaningfulreal-world experience, an innovation concentration needs to incorporate learning and experienceswithin disciplines students will encounter once they have begun their professional careerincluding

Education, 2019 The Impact of Integrating Making Activities to Cornerstone Design courses on Students’ Implicit Theories of Making AbilityAbstractA person’s implicit theories in a certain domain are known to have a direct influence on thatperson’s performance, behaviour, self-esteem, enjoyment and sense of belonging to the domain.This paper explores the role of implicit theory in engineering students’ beliefs about the nature oftheir making abilities and their self-identification as makers. This is done by assessing if acollaborative project-based engineering design course built on making activities can contribute toinfluencing students to have a growth mindset about their making abilities.

Engineering Education, 2019 EML Indices to Assess Student Learning through Integrated e-Learning ModulesIntroduction The University of New Haven has facilitated the development and integration of 18 e-learning modules on entrepreneurial topics into regular engineering and computer sciencecourses. In addition to faculty at the University of New Haven, over three years 77 faculty at 53other universities in the US have also integrated these modules into their courses. These modulesare designed so that students learn entrepreneurial content outside of class and then apply themto a class project or assignment (i.e., contextual activities). Instructors are also stronglyencouraged to engage students through
