Paper ID #32443To File or Not to File Intellectual Property is Not the Only QuestionDr. Chad E. Kennedy, Arizona State University Professor Kennedy’s experience spans biomedical engineering research, project management, and ad- vanced technology application in industry. Mr. Kennedy’s expertise stems from spending the last 25+ years working in the field of engineering. His early career began working in various engineering de- sign, testing, and astronaut training capacities at NASA Johnson Space Center. After, Dr. Kennedy helped establish the Silicon Valley office and operations of VI Technology, Inc., an independent

.This experience allowed us to go to the next level: to participate in the curricular innovation offour careers, introducing innovation and entrepreneurship subjects within the educational system.However, the Chilean social unrest in October 2019 and the world COVID-19 pandemic forcedus quickly to rethink how to approach, in this new reality, the subjects we were alreadyfacilitating in person.The critical question was, is it possible to bring the richness of face-to-face experience focusedon active methods from the constructivist educational paradigm to the virtual world while alsorespecting expected learning? We understood the importance of knowing the people we had towork with, students and teachers, so the first thing was to understand how

education system systematically drove creativity andinnovativeness out of children at an early age. As this occurred within education systems,educators were also shaping lives by gradually increasing the structure and discipline maturingadolescents needed. Beyond these inherent needs for structure and discipline lie the curriculumof language, mathematics, science, history, culture, etc. all of which are critical to thedevelopment of successful careers and the development of entrepreneurs. This constant transitiontoward the development of our minds gradually moves a large percentage of the populationtoward left-brain analytical thinking.

Theexperience of participating in MIH helps students develop their professional identity andconfidence, which can be especially valuable for students who struggle in the traditionalengineering classroom.The combination of the mentoring relationship with the open-ended, real-world problems shiftsthe focus of students from earning a specific grade to solving a problem.

Each administering agency provided the content of the email. Once studentsreceived the access codes, the process flowed smoothly (i.e., no technical problems). However,there were a couple of instances in which students did not complete both surveys. After the datacollection, students were queried to gain insight into their experience when completing thesurveys, such as time allotted, clarity of questions, and understanding of results.

However, traditional engineeringcurriculum and coursework lacks important student learning opportunities, such as; the reason whythese concepts or mathematics are important, what is their real-world relevance and how this willimpact the students’ future career in engineering.

They need to “understand andcontribute in the context of market and business pressures.”4 Furthermore, entrepreneurshipskills are relevant for career success; students with these skills are expected to be better preparedto support their employers as innovators, act as managers and competent team workers4. Thisraises three essential questions: 1. What is and what means creativity and entrepreneurship in engineering contexts? 2. What are the implications for engineering education? 3. Are creativity and entrepreneurial thinking competences which can be learned by students, or are they a result of a life-long socializing process that cannot be influenced, at least not in the small period of an engineering

Within the last 20 years, thenumber of colleges and universities offering training in entrepreneurship grew from a few to over1500. Entrepreneurship education comes in a myriad of forms ranging from simply oneentrepreneurship course to many including interdisciplinary courses. Some interdisciplinaryvariations include entrepreneurial finance, entrepreneurial engineering, and entrepreneurship andtechnology-based new ventures. One of the reasons for the increasing rise in entrepreneurshipeducation is student demand. This education provides students with an entrepreneurial mindsetthat enables them to manage a career and/or a business. It provides students with the toolsneeded to pursue
