often perceived by students as heavily lecture-based,with a predominance on theory and mathematics and without translatable activities [1-2]. Thiscan be problematic for students, who often do not fully understand the distinction betweendifferent disciplines or are wary about choosing an engineering major without connections toreal-world applications [3-4]. Vanderbilt University is a partner in the KEEN, KERNEntrepreneurial Engineering network. The goal of the network is to increase student’s“entrepreneurial mindset”. This mindset can be summarized by the 3C’s: curiosity, connectionsand creating value [5]. Papers attempting to understand and improve the first-year engineer’sclassroom experience demonstrate the ability of a course designed around

Because we hypothesize that student attitudeis most closely correlated with student perceptions of course design more than faculty’s, thepresent study reexamines these data from the student perspective and includes an additionalsemester of data.MethodsThe present study builds upon prior work (8, 9) that used a multiple-choice self-report instrumentto assess and compare motivation and curiosity in students who were taking elective courses, andthe work of (7) that used the same instrument to examine whether certain course attributespositively affected students’ entrepreneurial mindsets within the KEEN framework (10).

The curriculum was developedafter a “needs analysis” identified the attributes desirable to companies looking for engineers inthe Republic of Kazakhstan.Most aspects of higher education in the Republic of Kazakhstan are prescribed by the Ministry ofEducation, including courses to be taught and texts to be used. Nazarbayev University is the firstin the Republic of Kazakhstan to be developed in a “western style” without Ministry approval ofthe curriculum. A Rodriguez-Falcon study1 highlights the significant cultural differencesbetween the western mindset and the mindset of students from Asian backgrounds, as found inthe Republic of Kazakhstan.
