Our aim was to develop a course that simulates a real-world engineering challenge, replete with strong societal variables, in order to enablestudents to learn and practice not only the technical knowledge they need to be effectiveengineers, but also the habits of mind (curiosity, flexibility, integrative thinking, andcreativity) that are necessary for developing what KEEN calls the “entrepreneurialmindset.”This paper describes a negotiations module within a role-playing engineering course setin nineteenth-century Worcester, Massachusetts.

for end-users [5]. Understanding end-users in engineering maycontribute to market success, as a majority of innovative breakthrough products involve noveluser interfaces [6]. Further, the established design process guides published by Stanford d.school[7] and IDEO [8] place empathy among the first steps to take when aiming for innovation. As forself-efficacy, it is currently hypothesized that it influences an engineer’s interest and ability tocarry out tasks associated with innovativeness [9], such as open-minded design exploration [10].However, despite educators attempting to teach empathy [11], [12] and innovation self-efficacyto engineering students, there is little understanding as to whether students develop either ofthese mindsets.

Thispaper focuses on the curricular component of this framework.As part of these curricular activities, 18 short, self-paced, e-learning modules will be developedand integrated into courses spanning all four years across all engineering and computer sciencedisciplines. Each module contains readings, short videos and self-assessment exercises. Five ofthese e-learning modules were developed in fall 2014, four of these five were piloted in theSpring 2015 semester, and all five
clearly shows that students and teachers havedifferent perceptions; such discrepancy shall be kept in mind when designing STEM-learning projects; and communication towards mutual understanding among students andteachers are often needed for ensuring effective teaching and learning. In general, STEM-Inc students had higher interest and confidence towards engineering thanentrepreneurship, which is understandable since STEM-Inc essentially is a project for STEMlearning; and entrepreneurship has been used as a tool to engage students in STEM learning.However, it is worthwhile noting that activities incorporating both engineering andentrepreneurship (such as the field trip to a fast pitch competition where students presentbusiness ideas with
