students’flexibility to take courses outside their majors. Engineering faculty have expertise and teach inthe narrow areas within the discipline in which they were trained. Yet, the desire for engineeringgraduates to possess skills and mindset that transcend the topics typically included in traditionalengineering programs is ever-present. One example of such a challenge is the initiative to equipengineering graduates with an entrepreneurial mindset. In this context, an entrepreneurialmindset is defined by the KEEN 3C’s Framework: developing students to be curious to theopportunities presented by unsolved problems in an ever-changing world; with the skills to makeconnections within and between topics that require a multidisciplinary perspective; while

with community service in such a waythat the service performed is integral to achieving the academic goals of a course. Servicelearning projects are well documented within higher education, including within engineering viaestablished programs as EPICS [2, 3] and Engineers Without Borders [4, 5], and areimplemented with the goal of developing a positive mindset toward service learning. Similarly,the concept of incorporating the entrepreneurial mindset [6, 7] into engineering education hasresulted in project-based service learning experiences. For example, students enrolled in a courseat Villanova are first given the cultural context of a developing country and then live in one ofthat country’s rural communities during spring break [8].

of the future will have dif-ferent attributes than the stereotypical 20th century engineer. These attributes include the technicalknowledge that all engineers should have and are included in traditional engineering curricula, andother characteristics related to what have often been called soft skills or professional attributes,including communication, leadership, and entrepreneurial skills.” To help instill an entrepreneurialmindset, Kern Family Foundation established a network of colleges called the Kern Entrepreneur-ship Education Network (KEEN) in 2005. Gonzaga University is one of the 19 colleges in KEEN,and it views the entrepreneurial mindset as a critical need in undergraduate engineering education.Considering students in our CS 1 is
