The disparitybetween Q&P, SDP and the remaining labs was quite large in the first major category, withboth of them scoring high in opportunity, design, and impact.Additionally, with the exception of the Artificial Muscle lab, all got a majority of points inthe communication category and, with the exception of the SDP, most labs scored low pointsin the final major category, ‘Collaboration, ethics, and professionalism.’Curiosity, Connections, and Creating ValueAs seen in Table 1, most labs fell short in the Curiosity, Connections, and Creating Valuecategory, the foundation of the KEEN program, while the Software Design Project (SDP),Quality and Productivity (Q&P), and Wind Turbine performed slightly better

manner 11. Discern and pursue ethical practices 12. Contribute to society as an active citizenWe administered this questionnaire to 227 first-year engineering students at the University of NewHaven in 2014. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was first applied to analyze the collected data.The EFA results suggested that 27 out of the 37 items loaded on 10 factors should be retained inthis instrument and the item numbers in each of the factors should be adjusted according to thelevels of internal consistency and reliability [9]. Based on these EFA results a revised instrumentwas developed in the second design stage. The second questionnaire (Appendix 3) contained 50items with 49 loaded on 14 factors and 1 as the comparison indicator [12
included making sure that students hadexperience with team diversity and conflict. Five of the participants reported that their team hadnot been “in sync.” Two other participants reported that their teams were split on whether tolaunch their project as a startup. As one participant reported, their team’s dynamics started on theright path but did not go as well toward the end of the project. The goal, he said, was to get thegrade and not to pursue the project. As another participant put it, his assigned team had noguarantee of a common work ethic or a common vision.A third factor involves lack of passion for the project. These results were aggregated into the“not among students’ main goals” factor in Fig. 1 but are striking enough to merit

Throughout the process of developing a product for commercializationand pitching this venture to potential investors, it is not difficult to imagine a wide range ofABET outcomes being addressed, in ways that traditional engineering curriculum is lacking.These exercises could align with ABET outcomes (2) an ability to apply engineering design toproduce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, andwelfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors, (3) an ability tocommunicate effectively with a range of audiences, and (4) an ability to recognize ethical andprofessional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which mustconsider

have strong work ethics and that in general want to do things such as working with a professor or start an entrepreneurship. (Faculty member, UAI)PUC students feature similar characteristics of those at UAI. Some students enroll in engineeringwith the idea of continuing the family business. However, the school strongly encourages theteaching of entrepreneurship skills to their students so they can develop it in their professionallife, either by launching their own project or in a public or private organization. When theyengage in entrepreneurship they see it as a way of generating social impact.What are the main strategies the selected engineering schools use for the promotion ofentrepreneurship education?As a synthesis of these

Since the program has two system engineering courses, the capstonecourse was used
