programs that work to bolster invention and entrepreneurship maypositively impact both students and teachers in their personal and professional growth and alsoinfluence the well-being of rural communities more broadly. Despite the symbiosis between rural areas and entrepreneurship, past attempts to expandthe K12 InVenture Prize program to rural regions have not been successful. A first strategyattempted was to provide travel stipends for students to travel to Georgia Tech for the statefinals. This offering, however, did not address the anxiety that students and teachers have aboutpresenting a project at an elite university. The leap from school competition to state competitionfelt too large for many schools. A second strategy was to

The process oftrial and error involved in competitions helps overcome fear of failure and increase creative risk.The open-criteria of grading in competitions--the variability in possible solutions--is a thirdfeature that professors could use in the classroom to promote an entrepreneurial mindset.

But while our students learned a great deal about product-market fit, design, andbusiness models, the course lacked content that provided direct learning about thestudents’ aspirations, professional growth, career planning.We realized that it might be possible to fill this gap by applying the courses’lessons ofdesign and entrepreneurship to each student’s own professional self.

This isevident when dealing with entrepreneurial thinking where projections and estimations need to bequickly calculated and frequently modified as necessary. Estimation specifically allowsentrepreneurs to make quick inexpensive decisions, which would otherwise cost time andresources. This paper shares research work that involves various, example-based estimationmethods that are useful in engineering. The methods provide rough predictions of expectedoutcome, allowing students to intelligently guess a reasonable range of expected outcomes, givenbasic raw data within its necessary parameters. The methods include: •   Segmentation •   Fermi Estimation

In order to know whether or not innovation-based courses, projects, programs, orinitiatives have a positive effect – or, even any effect – it is necessary to create a baseline, followthe participants through their courses and through their academic studies.Creating a methodology, assessment protocol, and assessment process and
