), entrepreneurial mindset, and evidence-based entrepreneurshippractices.To address sustainability, a teaching module was created that demonstrates the use of severalsustainability tools (ex. whole system design and life cycle thinking) and reasons to considerthem. These were introduced in the context of the engineering design process. Part of the ABETdefinition [2] of engineering design includes “... examples of possible constraints include …sustainability…”. The goal of this approach is to include sustainability as a constraint right nextto manufacturability, usability, cost, etc. so students see it as just another thing they need toconsider and not an extra requirement of sorts. This module was initially delivered inEngineering Seminar in fall 2018 as a
evolved since 2009 and this paper will discuss anew approach to using UGTAs throughout a large scale, multi-disciplinary, multiple campusengineering program. This approach was created from the foundation of the KernEntrepreneurship Education Network (KEEN) entrepreneurial mindset focusing on the 3 C’s;curiosity, connections, and creating value [1]. While many programs utilize UGTAs inengineering or other curriculums, few have done so at an entire college scale spanning both on-campus and online courses or focused on the growth and mentorship of the UGTAs themselves.The goal of the Fulton UGTA program is to provide UGTAs with the motivation to create newvalue in the classroom that wouldn’t otherwise be available and promote the
educational learning communities.Literature ReviewService learning involves combining academic learning with community service in such a waythat the service performed is integral to achieving the academic goals of a course. Servicelearning projects are well documented within higher education, including within engineering viaestablished programs as EPICS [2, 3] and Engineers Without Borders [4, 5], and areimplemented with the goal of developing a positive mindset toward service learning. Similarly,the concept of incorporating the entrepreneurial mindset [6, 7] into engineering education hasresulted in project-based service learning experiences. For example, students enrolled in a courseat Villanova are first given the cultural context of a developing

Theimportance of this shift is underlined by the fact that the next 10 years will bring more than abillion new young people to the global work force and their working lives are estimated to beeven more entrepreneurial than previous generations [5]. Personal characterizations (emotions and motivation) of the modern engineeringstudent have received limited research attention. Regardless of whether a student makesinnovation or entrepreneurial career their primary goal, this paper introduces discussion topreserve a path of sustainable well-being and fairness for men and women entering

workforce is needed to understand why these thingsare occurring and what pedagogies can be altered, added, removed, or enhanced to alter the rapiddecline of these underrepresented students in engineering.Studies show that extensive efforts have been made in the first year of engineering programsacross the nation to increase retention. However, these changes have not necessarily resulted inreducing the number of students who change majors or leave the university during their secondyear in engineering. The knowledge gaps regarding practices to create a more inclusiveenvironment for engineering students are still being studied in regard to shaping an engineeringidentity, fostering an entrepreneurial mindset, and implementing pedagogical approaches

Assessment using KEEN framework In order to assess the impact the module had on the students, the students were given the KEENframework on skillset and mindsets and were asked to circle the skillset they thought they acquired throughthe innovation challenge. In most design courses, majority of the focus is on the objectives listed under the“Design” in Figure 8 and rarely any thought goes into the objectives shown under “Opportunity” and“Impact” category.

In thispresentation we report on how we introduce these ideas into a typical first-year course, taken byall physics, computer science, and engineering majors, without sacrificing a large proportion ofcourse time.We have used the Hyperloop, a high-speed transport system proposed by a joint team from Teslaand SpaceX, to have students investigate technical feasibility and human desirability questionsthat can be addressed throughout their first semester course. With each new physics topic, weare able to present a design question related to the Hyperloop that requires students to apply theirjust

who bring these skills to thetable. Engineers who have developed both traits have the advantage of being able to determinewhy something is done in a certain way and then be able to create an improvement to the productor process. This can lead to the desired entrepreneurial mindset where engineers approach theirwork with an eye towards creating value, either in products for others or society, or forthemselves.10The primary driving force behind the redesign of the design project in the Internal CombustionEngines course was to encourage curiosity in the students so that the student teams would be ableto be creative in modifying existing engines to add value to the engines. Along the way, it washoped to address shortcomings that had become

]. Leaders of UnitedStates multinational organizations remain challenged to understand cultural differences withoutpossibly jeopardizing efficiency and performance when doing business across borders[2][15][31][37][57][64]. MENA and Western cultures differ in organizational culture [21][34]. The MENA regionis diverse and consists of a myriad of unique cultures. Different regions within MENA adhere todifferent ways of life, characteristics, behaviors, dialects, and mindsets creating communicationgaps that may cause problems for Western organizations. Business people from Westerncountries need to realize that making a deal with Arab executives is different from makingbusiness deals at home. Oueini [53] conducted research on a Western versus

As an exception, all four MSc programs in the Electronics and Electrical EngineeringDepartment at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) have the module ‘Professional andLeadership Skills’ as the core. This module has dedicated sessions addressing creativity, inaddition to having creativity embedded throughout the teaching, learning, and assessmentprocesses; it is the focus of our study here.What is still missing from this picture? Why do so many engineers still consider creativity to be aminor topic, both in general and in terms of management/leadership? Could their perceptions ofcreativity be part of the
