: Implications of pedagogical approach for students’ mindsetAbstractStudent curiosity compels learners to go beyond what is presented in the classroom, to connectwhat they have discovered with other concepts, and to finally create new items and knowledge tohelp address the world’s problems. Encouraging this entrepreneurial mindset is a goal within anumber of courses at our institution. While not every learner arrives in our classrooms innatelycurious about the course topic, by using alternative instructional approaches, perhaps curiositymight be fostered more broadly.The goal of this study is to explore the hypothesis that courses that include open-ended, real-world problems will foster growth of the entrepreneurial mindset

Blake Hylton and Brock Hays, Ohio Northern UniversityIntroduction In an educational setting it is vital that we as educators are able to assess our learningoutcomes and effectively measure student progress towards those objectives. With that beingsaid, what can educators do when they trying to instill a characteristic that they don’t know howto asses? The engineering entrepreneurship community is tackling this issue head on, as theincreasing popularity of injecting an entrepreneurial mindset into the engineering curriculum hasbrought some of these “hard-to-assess” traits into the spotlight.

Providing a basic set of engineeringskills in specific specialty areas of study is no longer sufficient. Engineers design solutions formarketplace problems. As such it is imperative that they approach the marketplace in search ofopportunities for which they can design break-through solutions. This is the mindset of theentrepreneur.

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

The first tool, which is the focusof this paper, is the Entrepreneurship Knowledge Inventory (EKI). This inventory was initiallydesigned to measure self-assessed entrepreneurial knowledge of students enrolled inentrepreneurship-based engineering courses and programs at six engineering schools located inthe Midwest. The items were initially based on a taxonomy being developed under funding bythe NCIIA entitled, Institutionalizing Entrepreneurship at Primarily Undergraduate Institutions(PUIs)4. The survey

At the University of Virginia (UVA), theEntrepreneurship wave came and we now offer most of the programs that peerinstitutions offer; however, there was no real evidence that any more studententrepreneurial projects were moving forward than before. It begged the question, wasthere a huge blind spot in actually cultivating a Founder’s mindset?Here, we have done an extensive literature

We decided to use the design thinking approach, which is elaboratedby Buchanan[6] as addressing intractable human concerns through design, and started byunderstanding requirements of prospective student entrepreneurs to establish a more useful EDC.The paper explains the approach that consisted of learning from people, finding patterns, andarriving at design principles for design of the proposed

Affective socialization is seen as an important element for an education program33. Curran and Stanworth33 argue that socialization process of entrepreneurs should reflect the highly isolated and semi-structured entrepreneurial role with few partners in an inherently high level of uncertainty. More extensive research is necessary to explore the role that family and background experiences have on the entrepreneur experience. And, since entrepreneurs often reflect that they feel ‘isolated’ or ‘alone’ further research investigations concerning the role of emotion on entrepreneurship practice
