This paper describes a work-in-progress intervention where theKEEN 3Cs of entrepreneurially minded learning (curiosity, connections, and creating value) were introduced into a‘Principles of MechE for ECE majors’ course. In this course electrical engineering students learn about the basicprinciples of mechanical engineering. In an effort to understand how students view the 3Cs, the students are asked toselect a specific project which could be a new or a previous project from a different course. Through their project thestudents will highlight the following• Curiosity- Engineering Curiosity: The technological need for the product or solution

AbstractThis paper reports the results of an empirical study of why student teams at commuter schools,particularly with underrepresented populations, do not pursue their course projects as startups.The study was conducted at a large public university at which 98% of undergraduate studentscommute to school, 84% are employed, and 80% are Hispanic-American. Interviews wereconducted with 16 students in an engineering major, a participation rate of 47% of the subjectpool.

University, a mid-size Mid-Atlantic public university, we set out to foster anEntrepreneurial Mindset in our first-year engineering students by modifying the ProductArchaeology framework that was first developed by K. Lewis, et al. [1]. In our implementation,we allowed student teams to choose from a bank of products and guided them through the fourphases of product archaeology (preparation, excavation, evaluation, and explanation). For theevaluation phase, each team developed and executed three or more qualitative experiments fortheir product. At the conclusion of the project, students wrote a report that addressed the fourphases of product archaeology, including the results of their quantitative experiments. Eachreport was graded using an

Although EM has increasingly becoming a commonlyused term to describe the developmental goals of entrepreneurship education forundergraduate engineering programs, the conceptualization of the EM is still broad andvaried. This is primarily because entrepreneurship education in engineering has utilized awide variety of approaches such as standalone seminars introducing practicingentrepreneurs; project-based courses exposing students to the opportunity identificationand customer discovery aspects of entrepreneurship; or student accelerators/incubatorsand other co-curricular programming for fostering student ventures [14], [15]. 2In other words
