technological solutions that focus heavily onstudents’ technical skills. However, for innovations that create an impact, it is essential tolink this technical knowledge to societal considerations. This paper describes a problem-centered approach towards introducing mechanical engineering students to sustainable,ethical and collaborative innovation, through an analysis of student work and feedbackgathered from a ten-week long pilot conducted as part of a compulsory, Master’s level,academic year-long Mechanical Engineering course.During the pilot, student groups worked on broadly phrased challenges derived from anongoing EU project on developing societal applications for technology, choosing one ofseven challenges ranging from changing rain patterns in

motivated efforts to expand the definition of student outcomes across countries. By the mid-1990s, ABET anticipated this need by shifting the accreditation basis toward outcomes ratherthan inputs, affecting engineering programs’ practices in the U.S. and in other countries, includedAustralia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom2. These criteria, widelyknown as EC2000, specified 11 learning outcomes (see Appendix 3)16: a) Five technical skills: Related to the development of students’ mathematical, scientific, and technical knowledge. b) Six professional skills: Those that emphasize communicating and working effectively on teams, besides the awareness of ethical and contextual

The goal of these cards was tocover a wide variety of entrepreneurial mindset outcomes without relying on a single project.The four topics selected were engineering economics, customer awareness and stakeholders,engineering ethics, and value propositions and supporting data. Two of the four lessons weretaught as a supplement to the existing class project, but could be used either with any classproject or as stand-alone modules in classes without a project. A summary of each card isprovided below. These cards were implemented into the curriculum in the Fall 2018 semesterwith a class size

Among them, the ethical culture of Confucianism constitutes the core oftraditional culture and is an important pillar of life and spiritual order. For example,Confucianism advocates “exercising benevolence”. The cultural intension of this kind ofbenevolence is manifested in the spirit of practicing, caring about society, and activelyjoining the society (ru shi). The Taoist thought advocates “inaction” or “do-nothingness” (wuwei) to express the heart of salvation. Among them, the dialectic thought that “being andnot-being grow out of one another” (you wu xiang sheng) in Lao Tzu’s Tao Te Ching hasimportant implications for entrepreneurial activities, such as starting a business from nothing
