American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Single-Class Opportunities to Integrate the Entrepreneurial Mindset into First-Year ExperiencesAbstractOne recent paradigm-shift in general engineering education has been the inclusion of the KernEntrepreneurial Education Network’s philosophy of the Entrepreneurial Mindset (EM) as ameans of developing student curiosity
that transform global health outcomes and lower healthcare costs. To execute thisvision, the Lab sources and project manages research and talent development collaborations thatoffer mutual benefit to the University and its external partners. In addition to pursuing projectsfor developed markets, the Lab also partners with other centers on campus that place a uniqueemphasis on humanitarian engineering to create and deploy technology solutions for frontier-market environments. The students, faculty, and research staff affiliated with the Lab leverage anauthentic design process that sources real-world engineering problems and engagesmultidisciplinary teams of engineers, scientists, and business professionals in an immersive anditerative
flight to solve the day-to-day crises of mankind.This challenge helped the students to experience an impact that they could make in the society withthe tools they learned just from a sophomore level class. The scaffolding of this module and theconcepts/skills that the students used to design and the analyze the prototypes is discussed. The KernEntrepreneurial Engineering Network’s (KEEN) framework used to assess the module along withother Likert scale assessments showed that students acquired the creative confidence to seekopportunities which could lead to technological breakthrough.

Furthermore, their understandings on conflicts andinnovation competency unfold the learning trajectories as the escalating process ofconflicts, which could end up either as constructive or destructive on developinginnovation competency. Based on the findings, this study revisited the literature andproposed a tentative explanatory model to describe the relationship between conflicts andinnovation competency. At the same time, we suggest conducting further research tocritically rethink PBL and its effects on cultivating innovation competency.1.IntroductionTo promote economic growth and national competitions, current policies aim to educateinnovative engineers, who can contribute both on technology function and business

Paper ID #26534Provoked Emotion in Student Stories of Motivation Reveal Gendered Percep-tions of What It Means to be Innovative in EngineeringProf. Barbara A. Karanian, Stanford University Barbara A. Karanian, Ph.D. , Lecturer, formerly visiting Professor, in the School of Engineering, in the Mechanical Engineering Design Group at Stanford University. Barbara’s research focuses on four ar- eas: 1)grounding a blend of theories from social-cognitive psychology, engineering design, and art to show how cognition affects design; 2) changing the way people understand the emotion behind their work with the intent to do
– and their motivation- that comprise those markets. The focus of the current re-search is not on the corresponding impact that those people have on the potential success ofthe technology in question, rather it is on the engineer/founder – their motivation or need toperform (achievement) and their emotions (feelings) that impact innovative action.The reasons for motivation and emotional effects of gender on creative approaches remainunclear. Will a pattern of gendered perceptions of challenge and disagreement spark creativeindividual solutions and innovation? Multiple studies suggest that innovation occurs in organ-izations and the classroom [1, 2] when there is psychological safety and opportunity for indi-vidual and team creativity. Previous
