Paper ID #34669Impact of Entrepreneurial Mindset Module Connecting SocietalConsideration, Medical Interventions and Engineering PhysiologyAllison Lukas, Western New England University Allison Lukas graduated in 2021 from Western New England University where she earned a bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Engineering. She has plans to attend graduate school and eventually become a professor. In the meantime she will be working in the medical device industry to gain experience before pursuing further education. During her time at Western New England University she served as a supple- mental instructor for two physiology

needs of society. [1] This mindset provides students “theknowledge, tools, and attitudes that are required to identify opportunities and bring them to life” [1];however, this definition of entrepreneurial thinking is multifaceted and encompasses a broad range ofconcepts and skills. Broadly speaking, entrepreneurial thinking includes “specific aspects of systemsplanning, operationalizing innovative ideas, establishing organizational culture by example, big picturethinking, problem posing, thinking outside the box, realizing a vision, institutionalizing best practices,taking risks, learning from failure, founding startups, persuading others to follow, catalyzing change,market savvy, and identifying opportunities.” [3,6] From this statement

ofcritical networks of entrepreneurs and investors.The purpose of this pilot study was to gain understanding of the perceived impact of ourinstitution’s Summer Innovation Internship on students’ attitudes towards engineering design andentrepreneurship. Several studies have investigated students’ attitudes towards entrepreneurship,or entrepreneurial mindset, through various curricular and co-curricular activities1-4. To buildupon the growing body of literature that support the advantages of an entrepreneurial mindset,we are seeking to understand how engineering students’ entrepreneurial attitudes affect theirperceptions of the engineering design process and performance in the senior design course. Thiswould provide additional insights regarding

Here, wedescribe our global strategy to create a learning continuum, so students retain fundamentalprinciples and have context to strengthen their knowledge as they progress. We have utilized athree-phase process involving curriculum evaluation, faculty recruitment, and moduledevelopment and implementation, while planning for a fourth phase, assessment. We haveevaluated the undergraduate, Bioengineering curriculum in its entirety, identifying the areas wherethe three concepts from the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN)(www.engineeringunleashed.com) – curiosity, connections, creating value – could

how one might impact the world in the future.Entrepreneurship and sustainability often seem to be at odds with one another. Asimplistic definition would be that entrepreneurship focuses more on short-term value(often localized to particular stakeholders), while sustainability is focused on long-termvalue (often regional or global) (Tranquillo, 2017). Both, however, are oriented towardthe future and there are in fact many marriages between the two. Programs such as socialentrepreneurship in engineering schools and sustainable finance programs inside ofbusiness schools have grown in popularity. Furthermore, the entrepreneurial mindset,although not well defined (Zappe, 2013), is focused on developing the habits, behaviorsand attitudes of an

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

and in experiential learning for undergraduates in science and engineering. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Specifications Grading in an Upper-Level BME Elective CourseRecent trends in BME education emphasize aspects of the engineering profession such as designprocess, entrepreneurial mindset, and active problem-solving. However, the grading strategy inmost traditional BME courses revolves around assigning points to student work based onapparent quality or degree of completion. Awarding “partial credit” is time-consuming and oftenis not closely mapped to learning objectives [1]. As a result, students often focus on how manypoints they earned relative to their perceived level of effort
