Forexample, when asked to identify the most important strengths of the minor, a senior explained, “Iwould say it’s how interconnected it is with the real world … there is nothing that you dotowards your final project that's just for the sake of the class. …so that’s one of its biggeststrengths, that sort of real-world feel.” Similarly, one junior asserted that “a lot of us may want towork in a [start-up] atmosphere like that,” so the hands-on work of prototyping “gives you ataste for what it can be like.” These students viewed the minor as laying a foundation fortheir future work

any engineering career path. In anotherexample, focusing on instilling ‘action-oriented’ EM in undergraduate students, Gerhart& Carpenter [27] associated EM with a set of skills such as creativity, innovativeness andcritical thinking. Similarly, other researchers presented EM as a reasonable substitute forentrepreneurial skills [28], [29]. 4In other articles, researchers included specific traits in addition to skills in theirdescriptions of EM. In one example, Pistrui, Layer, & Dietrich [30] argued that EM is notspecifically associated with an entrepreneur but rather with other professionals such asengineering students who can think

It’s what colleges believe they need to teach for graduatesto meet the needs of today’s work force. For students, entrepreneurship offers the creativity andindependence that traditional careers seem to lack” 3,4.Integrating entrepreneurial skills and activities into the Engineering program may be one way torespond to the serious challenge of Engineering student retention, especially in the transitionbetween freshman and sophomore years5,6,7. It has been reported that students may decide toleave engineering if motivation for the required hard work is not provided via

benefit of the Fermi Method, is that it considers units when making an estimation. Fartoo often students arrive at an answer that is off by a factor of the units. They multiply and dividecorrectly, but do not pay attention to their units in the process. Unfortunately, this problem hasfollowed a few students into their careers. Major disasters, such as the NASA Orbiter and GimliGlider are a result of this. In the case of the Gimli Glider, an Air Canada aircraft, the fuel wasweighed and added in kilograms, rather than imperial units (1kg≠ 1lb)11. However, Fermiaccounts for this because your units must cancel in order to achieve your final answer. Fermi canalso be used as an inspection to make sure that your calculated value is in the correct range

further innovation, the people who pursue a career of innovation,or at least become serial/multiple innovators, seem to have been motivated by one or more of themotivational forces depicted in Figure 6. Innovator biographies such as those written about Jobs,Gates, Edison, Ford, Watt and others have highlighted the drive for recognition, safety/necessity,financial reward, escape, self-esteem and responsibility as forces driving one or anotherinnovator. While certainly corporate or university management can evolve systems to create oneor more of these forces, the question of whether they will interact with the psyche of theindividual(s) exposed to such forces is clearly up to the individual and not to the organization.

withthe needs, experience levels, and career intentions of their students.The proposed framework attempts to address and create a bridge between two major debatesconcerning entrepreneurship education for engineers. It seeks to demonstrate and describe four majortypes of entrepreneurial learning based on the degree to which venture creation is an expectedoutcome of the learning, and the level of uncertainty in the value proposition of the opportunity.Given that entrepreneurship takes on vastly different forms depending on these two dimensions, it islittle wonder that researchers and practitioners in the field confront difficulties in defining majorideas, identifying best practices, or measuring and comparing programs’ success.Rationale for the

, this new course is intended to build uponthe foundation established in the freshman year for the development of an entrepreneurialmindset. Specifically, students in the sophomore studio are expected to identify opportunities anddefine problems themselves, interact with real customers, and design, build, and test prototypesthat create value for these customers. In addition, project management, communication,teamwork, and market analysis skills need to be developed in this course to prepare students fortheir senior capstone projects and future careers. Bringing all of these aspects together, thefollowing learning objectives were identified. By the end of the semester, the student will be ableto: 1. Generate, screen, and select promising design

(2014), which was geared toward encouraging individuals’ internaldevelopment of an entrepreneurial mindset. Since entrepreneurial studies may encourage willingstudents to pursue careers as future entrepreneurs, what can stop a young adult student entrepreneurfrom designing curriculum tailored to his or her own need and get academic credit for it?Cumbersome roadblocks often found between getting a sound education and pursuing anentrepreneurial venture can be removed. Therefore, engineering entrepreneurship educationshould focus on teaching young adults, at earlier ages, about innovation and the associatedchallenges. Some of these
