While pursuing his graduate degrees at FAU, Dr. Zbeeb taught various mechanical engineering classes including Dynamics, Thermodynamics, Fluid Me
teaching engineering design process, with students completing a half-semester longmulti-disciplinary design project. In addition, technical concepts such as engineering drawing,MATLAB and basic disciplinary knowledge are taught along with the introduction of “softskills” such as communication, teamwork and project management. The course is required forstudents majoring in mechanical, aerospace, electrical and chemical engineering.This paper will discuss the experience and evaluation of incorporating entrepreneurial mindsetlearning in the Introduction to Engineering course. Specifically, it will discuss how KEEN’s 3Csframework [2], i.e., curiosity, connections and creating values, was incorporated into the existingcourse content centered on an open

McManus (2001) specifically discusses how most new facultymembers were taught by instructors who used the Teacher-Centered paradigm asopposed to the Learning-Centered paradigm and therefore they likewise use it oncethey enter academia. This professor, who transitioned from a working professional inthe engineering and aerospace industry to teaching in higher education, self-imposedthe challenge of going digital at the beginning of the transition. His game plan consistedof creating and adopting a paperless curriculum framework (see Figure 1). Figure 1. Going Digital FrameworkAs a first year

Students had also to take into consideration thedimensions and weight of their bridge.Electrical EngineeringThe last engineering discipline that students had a ‘challenge’ on was electrical engineering.What electrical engineers do and the respective sub-disciplines were the first information givento students. Then, concepts such as electrical energy, circuits, and resistors were explained. Thechallenge in this part was to create a circuit to light the bridge.Other Types of EngineeringSince the class was broadly covering engineering, other disciplines (in addition to the above)including chemical, aerospace, biomedical, computer, and software engineering were discussedas well.

Large portion of the manufacturing industry has realized thebenefits of the AM technology and started utilizing AM as an integral part of their processes. Forexample, General Electric (GE) Corporation has invested approximately $1.5 billion in advancedmanufacturing and additive technologies, in addition to building a global network of Additivecenters focused on advancing the science5. The company uses the additive manufacturingprocesses for manufacturing its jet engine nozzles because it uses less material than conventionaltechniques. That reduces production costs and, because it makes the parts lighter
