The learning approach follows the progressive schoolof thought and focuses on methods that are a mix of experiential learning and problem basedlearning [2,3,4,5]. This leads to a transform also at the mindset level, for example thetolerance towards ambiguity increases [1,6]. From the perspective of logical reasoning orepistemological worldview there is a clear emphasis on abductive and reflexive approachinstead of deductive or even inductive reasoning [7].

Modules in Developing an Entrepreneurial Mindset based on Deployment at 25 Institutions AbstractIn this paper, we describe an innovative curricular model employed at the University of NewHaven to develop an entrepreneurial mindset in engineering students. The entrepreneurialmindset in this model is characterized by the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network(KEEN)’s 3C’s, which are curiosity, connections and creating value. The core of the model isthe integration of short, self-paced, e-learning modules into courses spanning all four years of allengineering and computer science programs. A flipped classroom instructional model is used tointegrate the modules into courses. We are in the

They began byinterviewing 25 exemplar entrepreneurs such as Pierre Omidyar (eBay), Jeff Bezos(Amazon.com), Herb Kelleher (Southwest), and Scott Cook (Intuit) as well as 25 seniorexecutives at large companies, then using the case study technique (Eisenhardt 1989) identifiedfive constructs of innovative entrepreneurial behavior – questioning, observing, experimenting,idea networking and

Because many faculty members arenot well versed in the “entrepreneurial mindset,” Kettering University offers a series ofentrepreneurship/innovation classes over the course of a term to faculty from all disciplines anddepartments. Armed with their newfound confidence and knowledge, these faculty members arethen expected to incorporate these concepts and projects into existing courses.This paper provides information on the training and entrepreneurial techniques taught to thefaculty and then on the incorporation of entrepreneurial ideas and assignments into twoautomotive courses offered in the Mechanical Engineering Department.

wasneeded for approaching the project. As the development of deliverables to a client constitutes anentrepreneurial activity, the investigators opted to use the entrepreneurial mindset as aframework for improving the learning environment. As posited by the Kern EntrepreneurialEngineering Network (KEEN), an entrepreneurial mindset consists of curiosity, connections, andcreating value.7 Curiosity is important in a world of “accelerating change,” as solutions quicklybecome obsolete. Accordingly, students need to be empowered with an “insatiable curiosity” forinvestigating opportunities for new discoveries. However, making new discoveries is not enough,according to KEEN: students must be taught to “habitually pursue knowledge” and then combineit with
