Some recent examples includedeployment at individual universities seeking to reform their curriculum, as a technique forstudents to better organize teams in classes like capstone design, the transformation of academicdepartments, and the formation of cross-disciplinary research teams to address “grandchallenges.”This paper describes the process and its application to engineering education, specifically in aneffort to increase the range and quality of innovation and entrepreneurship offerings forundergraduate engineering students.Program descriptionThe Pathways to Innovation (Pathways) program is an initiative of the National Center forEngineering Pathways to Innovation

theirmethodology. The difference between the two approaches is that the PjBL covers a broaderscope and may include several problems. In addition, PjBL focuses on the final product byapplying or integrating previous knowledge while the emphasis of PBL is on the acquisition ofnew knowledge [3].Currently universities are utilizing entrepreneurial-minded learning (EML) as well. ThroughEML students get to solve a problem in a fashion that creates value, which helps to createengineers to make an impact in the workplace [4, 5].

Its key components include teacherprofessional development, a semi-structured curriculum, an online platform for students toreceive periodic feedback on their inventions, and a culminating state competition event at theGeorgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech). The program is actively trying to reach more rural areas by engaging urban and small-town hubs located within rural counties. A total of 35 schools, 55 teachers, and over 200 studentsfrom a new hub were

The entrepreneurs were well-versed with Lean Launch, but not necessarily the engineering design curriculum, and thus, whenprompted, they were able to objectively identify similarities and differences between the twocontexts. These interviews enlightened many parallels between Lean Launch and engineeringdesign, suggesting that an integration of the two would be seamless. Furthermore, analysis of theinterviews revealed that the utilization of Lean Launch principles in engineering design coursescould strengthen engineering design curricula, allowing for the teaching and assessment of manyimportant engineering

Integrating Entrepreneurial Minded Learning in Circuit Analysis and Design CourseThe challenge of integrating EML in engineering curriculum is adding the EML activitieswithout additional workload to the currently packed curriculum. Instead of developing separatecourses in entrepreneurship, CoE plans to integrate EML into numerous engineering courses.Each course will have EML elements to help students grow with KEEN’s “the three Cs”(Curiosity, Connections, Creating Value) [13]. Incorporating EML in different course sequencessuch as analog and digital circuits, electronic design, and communication sequences will providestudents an opportunity to develop an entrepreneurial mindset. EML has already been integratedinto Electronics Design I (EE375

identifyingopportunities and creating value -the key elements of an entrepreneurial mindset- are now otherhighly valued qualities that employers want to see. Therefore, EM is gaining attraction inengineering education. Literature provides many examples of institution wide efforts aim topromote EM. These efforts are important and necessary in brining attention to EM and exposingstudents to diverse EM experiences. It is equally important to foster EML in individual courses,as EM is not an add-on but rather a way of practicing engineering that addresses the needs ofpeople and society. Hence it should be built into the curriculum. This paper presents a case studythat aims to integrate EM into a junior level engineering statistics course. Statistics is typically

of students studying both engineering and business, and to direct those skillsto product development. The intent was not merely to allow students to receive twograduate degrees in a compressed time frame, but to tightly integrate the two degrees sothat multidisciplinary student teams would be able to develop an industrial product all theway from concept to market. The students obtained a Master of Business Administration[MBA] degree and a Master of Science [MS] degree in an engineering discipline in 23months. The students worked in teams and were expected to have developed a concept, abusiness plan, a marketing plan and a prototype for a marketable product by completionof the program.Development of two new graduate courses: ≠ Product

Furthermore, of the few existing studies, most haveexamined students’ perceptions of learning gains and affective responses such as entrepreneurialself-efficacy, mindset and attitude. In this study, we present an examination of students’ actuallearning in an entrepreneurship practicum course at large research university.

indicating increased agreement that risk taking hinders achievement (p =0.023). This combination of responses may reflect a better understanding of the challenge andrisk to be innovative and entrepreneurial following their work on the biomimicry project. Thishighlights the importance to underscore with students that creativity involves risk taking [16] andto encourage them to frame risk taking as an opportunity not a threat [17]. This is one of theirfirst courses in bioengineering and these concepts can be revisited throughout the curriculum toconnect risk taking with growing an entrepreneurial mindset.Interestingly, some survey results indicate that even at the start of the project there was alreadyagreement by both cohorts on the value of

the considerableeffort of actually preparing and refining one. Furthermore, since such competitions are extra-curricular in nature, only a small percentage of undergraduate engineering students elect toparticipate: engineering coursework does not lend by itself to the practice of elevator pitching,and a crowded curriculum may not allow for engineering students to take business classes at all,or opt into elevator pitch competitions [9].Thus far, we have found that the University of Rhode Island has introduced an elective courseavailable for engineering students that is similar in nature to the one we offer at Stevens Instituteof Technology (Stevens) in that it requires an elevator pitch competition as an outcome of thecourse.
