Entrepreneurship & Engineering Innovation, First-Year Programs
kappa of 0.627indicates a moderate level of agreement between the researchers. The results from this paperprovide insight into how students interpret Curiosity and can be used to develop materials aboutEM that might better resonate with first-year students. Future work will explore the remainingtwo “Cs”: Connections and Creating Value.IntroductionThis study involves integrating fortnightly reflective practice into a first-year engineering coursewhile simultaneously beginning to instill an entrepreneurial mindset (EM) (as defined by theKern Engineering Entrepreneurship Network (KEEN)) in the engineering students at a mid-size,Mid-Atlantic, public university. Of particular interest is understanding students’ conception ofCuriosity, one of the

The next section of this paper provides examples of the kinds ofcontent that might be included in engineering curricula to make appropriate adaptations. 34.

University, a mid-size Mid-Atlantic public university, we set out to foster anEntrepreneurial Mindset in our first-year engineering students by modifying the ProductArchaeology framework that was first developed by K. Lewis, et al. [1]. In our implementation,we allowed student teams to choose from a bank of products and guided them through the fourphases of product archaeology (preparation, excavation, evaluation, and explanation). For theevaluation phase, each team developed and executed three or more qualitative experiments fortheir product. At the conclusion of the project, students wrote a report that addressed the fourphases of product archaeology, including the results of their quantitative experiments. Eachreport was graded using an

At the conclusion of the program evaluation at VillanovaUniversity, it was determined that the practicum course was the aspect of the minor in need ofthe most reconsideration and revision.AcknowledgementsThe authors are grateful to Kathy Nazar of the university’s Office of Planning and InstitutionalResearch for conducting and analyzing the surveys and to the Kern Family Foundation forfunding entrepreneurial education activities at Villanova University.References[1] P.Singh, A.

research-intensive university located in the mid-Atlantic states. The Academy aimed atrecruiting primarily associate or full professors (tenure or non-tenure track) who had not previouslyworked substantially with the teaching and learning center. Individuals were sent e-mailinvitations asking them to send in a short application and a letter of support from their departmenthead. As an incentive to participate in the program, faculty received one week of summer salary.The inaugural EMIT Academy was held in the summer of 2020, with 9 participating faculty. Thesefaculty included 2 women and 7 men, who came from various engineering departments includingelectrical engineering, civil engineering, engineering science and mechanics, chemicalengineering

provide value to the engineering innovation andentrepreneurship education fields.ConclusionThe development of the entrepreneurial mindset in both engineering and business undergraduatesis beneficial for their future career prospects. Entrepreneurial mindset can provide students withthe necessary knowledge and skills that will help them in their professional careers including theability to recognize opportunity, manage ambiguity, and persist through failure. To measureundergraduate students’ knowledge and perception of entrepreneurial mindset, a concept mapstudy was performed at a mid-size Atlantic University. The maps were graded independently byresearchers using both the holistic and traditional scoring methods.When the grading methods were

Information Technology and Engineering at a mid-Atlantic university28. The aim was to assess students’ engineering entrepreneurship perceptions within the context of a virtual information technology enterprise. In executing the project design in the virtual environment, students were exposed to many different fundamental engineering concepts from such disciplines as computer engineering, computer science, and systems. Evaluation and assessment were done by means of a pre/post-survey. Stony Brook University’s inter-university Sensor Consortium for Medical and Sensor Systems central purpose was to provide entrepreneurship education to engineering and other technical students through a senior design entrepreneurship course within the
