and helpedthem interpret its results. Overall ILS profiles of the students were found to be comparablewith the Felder and Spurlin7 study indicating that the sample under study was representative.Table 1 shows category-wise percentage division of Learning Style Preferences and Table 2shows average score on all four dimensions. The average was computed by mapping thepreferences to -11 to 11. For example, in case of S/N dimensions the S preference was taken Page 24.395.7as positive and N was taken as negative. So 11(S) became +11 and 11(N) became -11. Wefound that the cohort was reasonably balanced on active-reflective and sequential
design, this would be analogous to a team generatinghypotheses for a solution to a challenge (in any given form), stating: what the solution/artifactconsists of; who is the end user(s); what problem is solved for them; how will a solution bedelivered; what other competing solutions exist for a given problem; how will end users learn(and why they will want a solution); and, for a solution that is part of an existing category, if itmodifies such a category, or if it creates a new category. In contrast, the guide to growthapproach [54] suggests that opportunities should come from pattern recognition activities, aswell as awareness of the characteristics of a desired end goal. Emphasis is placed on problemsthat potential end-users cannot adequately

Entrepreneurial mindset inour study is operationally defined as a more growth orientated mindset versus a fixed orientatedmindset. This operational definition and the accompanying mindset measurement instrument wasdeveloped and validated by Carol Dweck of Stanford University. Based on Dweck‟s researchresults we assume a growth mindset is a reasonable surrogate for a student engineer‟s creativeand innovative or
our thinking. Instead of permitting engineering educationto lag technology and society, “Should the engineering profession anticipate needed advancesand prepare for a future where it will provide more benefit to humankind?”[3]So the question becomes, how do we train engineers to be more entrepreneurially minded?What is an Entrepreneurially Minded Engineer?
