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

customers. At the junior level, students continue to expand upon their EM through project-based learning in multiple discipline-specific courses. Leadership, teamwork, and ethics are alsoexplored in an interdisciplinary, active and collaborative learning- based course. Finally, thisentrepreneurial thread culminates in the senior capstone experience in which students apply theirengineering skill set while exercising their EM in a year-long, real-world design project.This paper describes the work done to determine the effect of the EM-focused engineeringcurriculum sequence on developing the entrepreneurially-minded engineer. While multiplemethods were used to assess EM in a sample of undergraduate students, the bulk of this workfocuses on the data
Executive Committee and a Program Evaluator for both computer engineering and computer science. Estell is well-known for his significant contributions on streamlining student outcomes assess- ment processes, and has been an invited presenter at the ABET Symposium on multiple occasions. Estell is also a founding member and current Vice President of The Pledge of the Computing Professional, an organization dedicated to the promotion of ethics in the computing professions. Estell is Professor of Computer Engineering and Computer Science at Ohio Northern University, where he currently teaches first-year programming and user interface design courses, and also serves on the col- lege’s Capstone Design Committee. Much of his
activities was useful to increasestudents’ employability [6], professional ethics [7], skills for writing a business plan [8] andthe like. Despite of the promotion of these educational efforts, however, the impact of TIECson engineering students’ entrepreneurship intention and behaviors, remain scarcely answered.Entrepreneurial intention, as the prerequisite and the best prediction of entrepreneurialbehavior, have an important impact on actual entrepreneurial behavior. This research focuseson engineering students’ entrepreneurial intention and sets out to explore the impact ofengagement in TIECs on their entrepreneurial intention. This study aims to examine tworesearch questions: 1) In the context of TIECs, what are the factors that affect
