Inclusionof these concepts and skills support the growth of an entrepreneurial mindset (EM) which is acollection of mental habits that target one’s impact on society and the value they create for it [4].Methods to implement an EM in education emphasize one’s approach to critical thinking,innovation, and value creation as both a learning activity and outcome (i.e., [5], [6]). Theexecution of EM-focused curricula and the subsequent outcomes have resulted in student-centered benefits, namely, the growth of their professional skills [7].

thinking results in the development of a sound technical solution thataddresses customer needs, is feasible from a business perspective, and has societal benefit. It is difficult to develop the many professional skills needed by today’s graduates withinthe framework of engineering programs that are crowded by technical requirements. A creativeapproach is to utilize online learning modules. There are several advantages to the onlinelearning modules over the development of more traditional classroom content: • A large number of students, ideally all engineering students, can be required to complete the modules thereby having broad impact • The modules can be easily shared with other institutions for deployment • The modules can

However, such studies will require lengthylongitudinal studies of start-ups' progression to established companies along with their IPinvestment and financial revenue data. A challenging proposition to be sure, but it would helpenlighten us to the question of whether IP truly advances innovation and prosperity serving thegreatest number of people.References[1] DeVol, Ross, J.

However, there are times when a companydoes involve student teams in projects that are on a critical path and the project’s outcome mayhave an impact on the direction a company chooses to take in the future. For this reason, it isessential that the intellectual property rights of the project be clearly defined during thedevelopment of the statement of work.Research Agreements and Non-Disclosure AgreementsOne of the most challenging aspects of soliciting sponsors for Senior Design projects isdetermining the ownership of the Intellectual Property (IP).

for enabling student and team reflection, particularly at the end of a capstonedesign experience. The purpose of the study was threefold: (1) to determine if a transferreflection activity and map and associated analyses are a useful ways to facilitate reflection aboutlearning/transfer, (2) to identify perceived knowledge and skills transferred from a capstonecourse, and (3) to determine how feedback about transfer can be used to improve capstoneeducation. The study used a qualitative research design to explore the impact of transferactivities on students in the capstone course. Consistent with the qualitative methods, researchparticipants were chosen using purposeful sampling. Johnson and Christianson27 definepurposeful or purpose sampling as
with major themes in each student’s academic discipline. Thus,students may be strongly affected by the overarching contexts in which they have come tounderstand engineering.More acute encounters (i.e., specific project characteristics) have also been shown to affectstudents’ innovation-related capabilities, knowledge, and awareness. One key factor seems to bespecific pedagogical interventions. For example, students who have participated inentrepreneurship courses often report greater knowledge, skills, and attitudes related toinnovation17,18. Further, students who received targeted training in empathic design producedmore innovative concepts on a follow-up design task21. Additional project characteristics,including team composition and
