SBL is focusing on student’s knowledge, skills and self-awareness capabilitiesthrough its methodology. It is not a substitute for engineer´s disciplinary knowledge. It ispart of “software” that runs the engineering skills through making the student morecapable in creating and sharing her passion, vision and thoughts in a group of people.Though not listed directly in the ABET criteria1, 16 document we believe that thesequalities are part of the key skill set in creating sustainable engineering, coming up withnew ventures, commitment to life long learning, and simply fostering ethical andcommitted individuals to the

Thenew QS devices also raise many interesting professional and ethical questions, such as; “Whatconstitutes a medical device?” and “What safeguards are in place for privacy and security ofpersonal and/or health related data?”In addition, the QS theme can be used to motivate a variety of academic topics (Figure 2

Storytelling Based Learning offers a way to approach andcreatively manage the long list of skill-sets required for effective engineering education. We suggest Storytelling Based Learning as a type of disciplinary knowledge creation.There are several levels, categories, and taxonomies of knowledge that vary from learningsyntactical knowledge to semantic understanding and to pragmatic approach where disciplinaryknowledge can be applied to new situations where knowledge boundaries are spanned acrossdifferent disciplines assuring a holistic view

study on freshman engineering students showed that students believed that to be successful onthe entrepreneurial side of design projects they had to be more creative and use problem solving[8]. In another study done at a Canadian university, engineering students were given theopportunity to take an engineering entrepreneurship course [29]. The students were given anopen-ended survey that asked questions such as why they chose to take the course and what theythink the qualities of an entrepreneur are. After taking the course, engineering students identifiedthat the attributes that are most defining of engineering entrepreneurship are creative/innovative,good work ethic, self-motivated, organized, strong people skills, desire to succeed

For example, absent entirely from the entrepreneurial mindsetapproach is the entrepreneur’s desire to create an organizational engine that runs, generatingrevenue and throwing off profit, without need for the entrepreneur’s constant attention.14The Case Study ApproachThe case study approach to teaching entrepreneurship is perhaps the least common type. It is anextension of the Harvard Business School case study method. Most entrepreneurship faculty areunfamiliar with this approach. Those who do adopt it will not find the rich set of case materialsthat are available in other disciplines.

Communication allows one to convey engineeringsolutions in economic terms, and to substantiate claims with data and facts. Finally, character isdisplayed through such behaviors as fulfilling commitments in a timely manner, discerning andpursuing ethical practices, and contributing to society as an active citizen. It was noted thatservice learning, as applied through engineering, embraces many of these example behaviors.Accordingly, a new hypothesis was posed for the 2014-2015 offering of the first-yearprogramming sequence: that by embracing the entrepreneurial mindset as stated by KEEN –curiosity, connection, and creating value – as well as developing various
