Also, while theengineering curricula would require changes to incorporate entrepreneurshipeducation, the curricula must still meet ABET requirements. With these conditionsin mind, the following are tools and techniques which Lafayette College’sEngineering Division might be able to use in incorporating entrepreneurshipeducation which will be beneficial to Lafayette College’s engineering students. • Establishment of Entrepreneurship discipline within the Engineering Division: The establishment of an Entrepreneurship discipline within the Engineering Division would bring in faculty dedicated solely to entrepreneurial studies

And so, for example, if I’m like participating in an organization or if I’m looking at a product or researching something, you know, I just don’t think about necessarily what I’m reading. In my mind I critically analyze it and almost create solutions in my mind if that makes sense.”That same participant also felt that entrepreneurial skills were helpful for engineers to have: “I would definitely say, like, engineers who have the entrepreneurial skills are probably going to be more of a benefit for companies than engineers without it.

An entrepreneurial mindset will allow engineers entering the workforce tocreate personal, economic, and societal value through a lifetime of meaningful work [1].This goal to teach engineers about EM is focused on transformation of the minds and hearts ofindividuals, an invitation to become co-investigators in a nationwide experiment. Facultydevelopment has become one of the four core strategies in this mission. The others includebuilding thriving communities, working with affiliate organizations, and considering emergentideas that surround higher education. Faculty development aligns with all three of the other corestrategies.One important aspect of the EU faculty development

entrepreneurial activities? 3. For engineering alumni who have been entrepreneurs in the past, what activities led them to either become more entrepreneurially-minded or divert to a non- entrepreneurial career path?The participants in this study were 484 alumni who received their undergraduate engineeringdegrees in 2007 from four different universities in the United States. Our research aims to helpengineering educators understand the factors that promote and contribute to entrepreneurialpursuits among engineering alumni. In addition, by identifying what factors or circumstancesinfluence entrepreneurial activities, engineering schools may design programs and identifypotential opportunities for intervention.1

This activity combines with an added emphasis among engineering programs to developan entrepreneurial mindset among their engineering students with the belief that this will lead tothem being more productive and innovative whether their career path leads them into establishedindustry (becoming “intrapreneurs”) or later as entrepreneurs.While this trend toward developing more entrepreneurially minded engineering students issupported by global economic trends and a rapidly changing work environment, one factor hasbeen largely overlooked in this process. Statistically, most entrepreneurial ventures fail, withdisproportionately large value being created from a minority of entrepreneurial endeavors (Coats,2019). Given this fact

This paper presents the efforts to improve a core undergraduate industrialengineering course, Designing Value in Supply Chain, to infuse entrepreneurial thinking amongstudents using an internally funded grant by Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN).For this purpose, three new course modules are designed and their effectiveness on studentlearning is evaluated. This course is ideal for establishing entrepreneurially minded learning(EML) as a systematic approach is required for managing the chain of supply, especially sincethe impacts of the decisions are not isolated and will be spread out through the entire chain.

One areathat has gained considerable momentum in recent years is the effort to promote development ofan entrepreneurial mindset (EM) in undergraduate engineering students. A driving force behindthis momentum is the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN). KEEN is a group ofover 40 institutions united in the mission to promote entrepreneurial-minded learning inengineering students. In KEEN, EM is construed to have three primary components, the 3C’s ofCuriosity: Connection; and Creating Value. Recent efforts

.” Students cited two ways inwhich courses in the Engineering Entrepreneurship Minor were distinctive from other courses:they foster a “new way of thinking” and they emphasize application over theory.Students disclosed that courses in the minor encouraged them to think in ways that they did notencounter in their other engineering courses. For example, one junior said that the minor,“emphasizes creativity which, for engineers, we don’t really have that opportunity in our otherclasses.” Other elements of this “different way of thinking” included constantly searching foropportunities to create solutions and considering the next step to fix problems. One studentexplained that “learning how to get your mind to think a certain way – to look for

This gender difference was present among students in bothdisciplines, keeping in mind that the gender difference in business was larger than the genderdifference in engineering. Generally, these findings are in line with Johnson’s finding on genderdifferences in career values 14.Our analyses of personal characteristic measures suggest that although engineering and businessstudents are similar on many developmental traits that may have traction in helping to explainentrepreneurial behaviors, small differences favoring business students are observed on some ofthese traits, such as innovation orientation, the way they optimize their goals

Theexperience made by using the learning scenario “Shark Tank” confirms what was written before:To some extend, students can learn to become creative or an entrepreneur. But there are aspectsof both entities that cannot be learned by applying a straightforward learning path under the timeregime engineering education offers, such as courage, non-conformity, openness etc. It isimportant to have these insights in mind, if all the prominent statements about the need ofengineers who change (or even maybe save

To encourage these thinking patterns in young engineers, Mark has developed a Scenario Based Learning curriculum that attempts to blend core engineering concepts with selected business ideas. Mark is also researches empathy and mindfulness and its impact on gender participation in
