, I modified the syllabus to reflect how I had learned patent law in law school. Iincorporated the Socratic Method and taught from a law school casebook6. The class includedlively debates over the intricacies and nuances of the law, such as the Festo rule7 (the exceptionto the exception to the exception to the rule of infringement). One of my main goals for thecourse was to teach engineers how to determine whether their invention is patentable andwhether making and selling their invention infringes upon a competitor's patent. Despite thesolid attendance by the students and my detailed explanation, some of my students still confusedthe patentability and infringement tests on the exam. Some of the students applied the

The teams displayed a lot of creativity in the production of each oftheir commercials. It was clear that all the student teams had done a lot of work. The finalcomponent of the grade was peer assessment on the project teams. The students wererequired to distribute (confidentially) a fictitious bonus to each of their team membersbased on their contribution to the team project, reflecting peer evaluation of how eachmember had performed on the team. In most cases the bonuses were divided evenlybetween the team members, although in a few cases, particular students were recognizedfor

open-ended whichenabled the interviewer to ask for specific incidents rather than general events. This approachsupports asking follow up questions that enabled probing of certain mentioned incidents. Thequestions were categorized as: introduction and recent professional experience, involvement andinnovative activities, Entrepreneurial Intentions, Entrepreneurial Actions, and reflection. Further-more, the interviewees in our study (as detailed in Section 4) were also asked about factors thatattract them to found their own company at some point in the future; this future-looking stanceprovides additional insights as compared to a retrospective approach [10, 11].The analysis of the interview data is based on the inductive coding strategy

The project courses, tightly integrated with the theorycourses, accommodate the variety of directions the students may take. The dedicated space andassociated 3D printing technologies were designed and continue to evolve to support thecurriculum. And the dedicated faculty are aware of the many moving parts of the program,allowing for “real time” adjustments to reflect what is happening in technical and businessarenas.What

innovators and asking them to reflect on their education andcareers and their perceptions on what would work and what would not. We believe that thisapproach yields significantly richer information that would be used for this research.3 MethodsThe data analyzed here is based on interviews conducted with 60 innovators over the course ofseven months between April 2013 and October 2013. These data emerge from the broader studyof innovation and education mentioned above. The research methods for the broader studyincluded a workshop held on October 22-23, 2013, at the NAE Washington, D.C. The workshopbrought together over 75 innovators and leaders from several fields to share insights oninnovation and its education in focus-group style sessions

proceed with the study during the spring semester of 2009.When we combined the strongly agree and somewhat-agree responses in the survey, we realizedthat the student’s entrepreneurial spirit across campus is alive. Students understand that there aremany opportunities to create new businesses in their majors. Also, it reflects that they areconstantly thinking about the creation of new products and business opportunities.Implications for Future ResearchSince very little research has been done that explores interdisciplinary GTEC, we encourageprofessors, and students from different colleges to start analyzing what has been done at theirdepartments and what is taking place concerning entrepreneurship.

Model.Previous studies have demonstrated that engineering students have differing learning styles.According to Kolb each student’s learning style is divided into four distinct learning modes;accommodator, diverger, converger, and assimilator. 4 These learning styles are summarizedas:4,5,6Converger: person who is best at determining how to apply ideas to resolve a problem; oftenchoosing the engineering professionDiverger: someone with a strong imagination who can generate ideas, with a focus on people andrelationships; frequently found in managementAssimilator: describes those who observe, reflect, and effectively develop theory to logicallyexplain conditions and situations; common trait for scientists and mathematiciansAccommodator: person who thrives

Thus far, this theme has been quite appealing to thestudents.Course AssessmentIn order to assess the efficacy of the course in the development of an entrepreneurial mindset,several methods of assessment are planned. First, students will take a pre- and post- coursesurvey to measure changes in mindset brought on by participation in the course. Also, after eachmilestone review, time to reflect on the learning process is built into the course calendar. Thistime will involve the students writing a reflective essay and participating in a group

However, this would be atodds with the feedback received from student surveys conducted by us over the past two years,which indicate an interest in learning about entrepreneurship, as discussed in this paper.Alternatively, and more likely, it reflected the difficulties of attempting to persuade students toparticipate in extracurricular events, given that most engineering students have extremely highwork loads (131-138 units required for graduation for various majors in the college ofengineering). Besides, most SJSU students pay their way through university, and hence, juggleschool with part-time employment.These results imply that if we want to foster entrepreneurial skills amongst SJSU engineeringstudents
