These new institutions of higher education were meant to directlycontribute to the economic development of the local industry by offering technology transfer andby supplying academic graduates with strong practical aptitude and skills. Especially the closeaffiliation between the UAS and the local economic environment increased the innovativeness ofcompanies in the mechanical and electrical engineering sector. Furthermore, it highlighted theimportance of innovations for the students. To build a close relation between the UAS and theeconomy the diploma degree programs included a mandatory 18 weeks internship (reduced to 12weeks in nowadays bachelor programs) which often generate the topic of the final thesis.

Design skills are best learned through a combination of observation, emulation,analysis, and experimentation. This demands a high degree of interaction between the studentand experienced designers. Interpersonal skills are best developed through team work. Industryhas discovered that the give-and-take process that

Although there has beena significant push for entrepreneurship and innovation, there is still a lack of representation ofracially minoritized populations (i.e., African Americans or Black people, Hispanics/Latinx, andNative Americans/Alaskan Natives) in entrepreneurship, innovation, and science technology,engineering, and math (STEM) fields. In 2012, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA)Office of Advocacy found that racially minoritized business owners accounted for only 22.9% ofall U.S. business owners.

Engineering is a profession thatserves many functions of design and problem solving. These engineering functions support thegoals of business and entrepreneurship, and in turn engineering is supported by entrepreneurship.The ideas and designs created by engineers are only useful if they fill a need and have a market,such as creating machines for improving industry or solving troublesome problems.

. Often it is helpful to start with a customer’snon-linear problem. Then identify ideas that could solve step 1 for teaching in the conceptualframework. Baldrige criteria in systems engineering techniques are deployed in the Ideation stepin the overall teaching of the entrepreneurship process. Following the framework in Figure 1 wegenerate in dialogue with a customer to go from a non-linear idea to a funded project plan [18].We refer to this as technical support to the marketing of technology innovation. The inputs andoutputs shown in Figure 1 provide the dynamics for the overall entrepreneurship process. Stepone consists of Idea Generation.

Course: An Entrepreneurial Mindset SimulationIntroductionTeamwork is essential to engineering work, and the assumption is that greater team dynamicswill lead to greater innovation outcomes. When entrepreneurs pitch their ideas to angel investorsor venture capitalists, one of the top considerations is the quality of team dynamics [1, p.244],[2]. In addition, technological innovation and entrepreneurship have been promoted as“fundamental drivers of American prosperity and global economic leadership” [3, p.1]. Capstoneprojects, for example, can be essential opportunities to prepare engineering students to beinnovative and entrepreneurial in order to succeed in a globally competitive workforce [3, p.3].Research is extensive
