survey representatives from bothindustry and education on the strengths and weaknesses of mechanical engineering graduates,lists entrepreneurship and business processes among the most commonly cited missingcomponents in ME curricula [2]. The ability of mechanical engineering graduates to meet thechanging needs of employers depends heavily on the ability of these engineers to understandtheir customer in terms of economics, customer needs, and value proposition. Incorporatingengineering entrepreneurship into the ME curriculum provides students with these skills and withthe mindset necessary to better prepare them to enter the workforce [3].One important reason to incorporate engineering entrepreneurship into the engineeringcurriculum is to spur

derived from one culture but then decontextualized from this culture and traveled to othercultures. For instance, dominant images of American engineering education such as student-centered, active learning, outcome-based assessment, and the entrepreneurial mindset originatedin the United States but have become global forms and traveled to other places in the worldincluding China. The global nature of these dominant images also provides a methodologicaljustification that explains why we should learn the dominant images of American engineeringeducation before we discuss Chinese engineering education. A major goal of Chineseengineering educators is to respond to those globalized images of engineering educationtraveling from the United States. In

productionand grassroots innovation [9]. Van Holm suggests the maker movement will influenceentrepreneurship by attracting more people to product design, building new “diverse” networks,and lowering the costs for prototyping [28]. While it is true that access to the design equipmentwithin makerspaces can lower the costs for prototyping, there is currently no research tosubstantiate the maker movement influence on entrepreneurship. Across media, variousindividuals have claimed that makerspaces are associated with community and economicdevelopment, yet there are currently no published or readily accessible to the researcher studiesto verify this claim. There exist public entrepreneurial-oriented makerspaces which are financedby commercial industries that
betweenentrepreneurial self-efficacy and counterfactual thinking, the findings show that the morepositive affect of the counterfactual, the more entrepreneurial self-efficacy increases whileengaging in counterfactual thinking, but an entrepreneur’s disposition may be a mediating effect[35]. In the case of negotiators, it was found that additive counterfactual thoughts regarding pastnegotiations increased the performance of negotiators in future negotiations, demonstrating howthey learned from past experiences [36].In an editorial in the Journal of Vocational Behavior, Tinsley [37] remarked that there is a lackof, and therefore a need for, studying early career professionals and their transition from schoolto the workplace.

interesting to a larger population, that maybe enough to encourage the potentially diverse, non-engineering population to get involved at themakerspace. Encouraging interdisciplinary activities not only increases usage of the makerspace[4], especially with Entrepreneurial majors, but also increases the diversity of those who use thelab space [3] [4] and their overall interaction [2].One of the most commonly noted best practices involves the creation of a sense of communityand a collaborative culture. This has been noted in multiple articles, including those based oninternational makerspaces [4] as well. In general, the sense of community often originates fromsimply allowing the students to participate in the governing and daily operation of
engineering curriculum, as has been done at times with Formula SAE [8].Some of the skills the competitions promote are an entrepreneurial mindset, project management,leadership skills [9], and systems engineering knowledge [10]. AutoDrive is not only one of thelatest collegiate competitions, but perhaps it is the most challenging competition involvingautonomous vehicles at a high level of complexity, defined as SAE Level 4 autonomy, per SAEStandard J3016 [11]. One of the related issues to address is the education and training of studentsdirectly participating in the competition and more generally, of students interested in a futurecareer in the area of autonomous vehicles.Many approaches exist to design and deliver education and training programs

The problem is that the programwas predominantly set up to train engineering students going to traditional jobs in the engineeringindustrial sector. Therefore, a revamped curriculum and approach, “RCEL 2.0”, has been proposedto more broadly cover the diversity of career paths that

However, the grading strategy inmost traditional BME courses revolves around assigning points to student work based onapparent quality or degree of completion. Awarding “partial credit” is time-consuming and oftenis not closely mapped to learning objectives [1]. As a result, students often focus on how manypoints they earned relative to their perceived level of effort
