Meanwhile, the technology sector is growing, led largely by software companies likeApple, Microsoft, Alphabet (parent of Google), and Facebook. Accordingly, many of the leadingsoftware companies emerged from a “tech startup” culture and

”Intellectual Property Law for Engineers and Scientists,” IEEE and John Wiley & Sons, Publishers (2004) c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 An Online Course on Intellectual Property for Undergraduates and Graduate Engineers and ScientistsIntroduction It can be said with a very high degree of confidence that all of the engineers and scientistsin our technology University classrooms at some point in their professional careers, will comeinto direct contact with the Intellectual Property Laws of this or other countries, and these lawswill have an impact on their extant projects. Whether using these Intellectual Property Laws toobtain exclusive rights covering their
technological solutions that focus heavily onstudents’ technical skills. However, for innovations that create an impact, it is essential tolink this technical knowledge to societal considerations. This paper describes a problem-centered approach towards introducing mechanical engineering students to sustainable,ethical and collaborative innovation, through an analysis of student work and feedbackgathered from a ten-week long pilot conducted as part of a compulsory, Master’s level,academic year-long Mechanical Engineering course.During the pilot, student groups worked on broadly phrased challenges derived from anongoing EU project on developing societal applications for technology, choosing one ofseven challenges ranging from changing rain patterns in
collaborative instructors with like-minded teaching goals. Well organized EML online-modules such as elevator pitch makes deployment easy to implement in the engineering classroom [15]. Inthis semester-long project, students were introduced to new engineering topics in lecture, they practicedtechniques in mini labs, and then applied the knowledge to their project while considering theentrepreneurial mindset at every step. In this paper, we hypothesized that an EML module that utilized aproject-based approach would improve student engagement, improve technical laboratory and writing skillsand foster student’s curiosity to learn about human body motion. This project led to a mastery in kinematics,kinetics and human body motion technology with a stronger
learning, and in the ways hands-on activities such as making, technology, and games can be used to improve student engagement.Dr. Alan Cheville, Bucknell University Alan Cheville studied optoelectronics and ultrafast optics at Rice University, followed by 14 years as a faculty member at Oklahoma State University working on terahertz frequencies and engineering educa- tion.

Course: An Entrepreneurial Mindset SimulationIntroductionTeamwork is essential to engineering work, and the assumption is that greater team dynamicswill lead to greater innovation outcomes. When entrepreneurs pitch their ideas to angel investorsor venture capitalists, one of the top considerations is the quality of team dynamics [1, p.244],[2]. In addition, technological innovation and entrepreneurship have been promoted as“fundamental drivers of American prosperity and global economic leadership” [3, p.1]. Capstoneprojects, for example, can be essential opportunities to prepare engineering students to beinnovative and entrepreneurial in order to succeed in a globally competitive workforce [3, p.3].Research is extensive
activities to motivate future research careersIntroductionThe potential that materials-based solutions hold for global challenges such as in biomaterials,energy, environment and aerospace is undisputed. Therefore, it is imperative to groomundergraduate engineering and science students with a broad-based materials science andengineering back-ground, in order to maintain technological leadership position of developedand developing countries in the 21st century. At Oklahoma State university (OSU), we haveestablished a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program that is based on thepremise that interdisciplinary research training including entrepreneurship is essential for acomplete research experience in Materials Science with most of the

– and their motivation- that comprise those markets. The focus of the current re-search is not on the corresponding impact that those people have on the potential success ofthe technology in question, rather it is on the engineer/founder – their motivation or need toperform (achievement) and their emotions (feelings) that impact innovative action.The reasons for motivation and emotional effects of gender on creative approaches remainunclear. Will a pattern of gendered perceptions of challenge and disagreement spark creativeindividual solutions and innovation? Multiple studies suggest that innovation occurs in organ-izations and the classroom [1, 2] when there is psychological safety and opportunity for indi-vidual and team creativity. Previous
