publication; a student, on the other hand, might think ofwriting a summary of existing information. Spending time defining some of these outcomes at thebeginning of the semester will help students plan accordingly and rise to the challenge at hand.Another way to better support struggling students is to encourage more entrepreneurial thinking.Who is their customer/audience, and what are their wants/needs? By focusing on these ideas,students can better understand the idea of external value and find more ways to add external valueto their work. Finally, reviews should occur early and often. By communicating what students aredoing well and what they can improve upon, they begin to feel more comfortable with the controlthey have.Takeaways for

Empathy Assignment DevelopmentThe Empathy module was created with support from content designers from the University ofNew Haven to develop e-learning modules for use by engineering students throughout the UnitedStates. The empathy module is lengthy to incorporate in this paper so the authors have attached asnippet from it below. The goal for the modules were to instill an entrepreneurial mindset inengineering students. The module presented in this paper was focused on valuable outcomes thatwould promote student curiosity, building connections, and creating value 24–26. The module issegmented into four
Biomedical Engineering CurriculumAbstractHands-on design projects are widely used in engineering curricula to improve hardware/softwareskills, develop design mindsets, and tie real-world problems to engineering curricula with an eyetoward increased student engagement and retention. In Fall 2018, Kansas State University (KSU)accepted its first cadre of incoming freshmen into a new Biomedical Engineering (BME) degreeprogram. In an effort to increase the effectiveness of the program’s design courses, which will beoffered annually to students of various ages beginning in Fall 2020, the authors performed asearch of recent engineering education literature related to the inclusion of design projects inundergraduate BME curricula, focusing on (a) projects
Godwin, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor of Engineering Education at Purdue University. Her research focuses what factors influence diverse students to choose engineering and stay in engineering through their careers and how different experiences within the practice and culture of engineering fos- ter or hinder belongingness and identity development. Dr. Godwin graduated from Clemson University with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and Ph.D. in Engineering and Science Education. Her research earned her a National Science Foundation CAREER Award focused on characterizing latent diversity, which includes diverse attitudes, mindsets, and approaches to learning, to understand engineering stu- dents’ identity development.
