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

Some readily accessible QS topics related to biosensors include;the inertial motion measurement based Wii Remote and various smartphone apps,electromyography based Myo Gesture, and pressure based Nike Hyperdunk in-shoe sensors. 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

In addition, engineers should possess the ability forlifelong learning, understand engineering ethics, and generally apply sustainable approach forpast and present action7, 8,18, 19, 32, 33. 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

The startups that have hired NEWPATHstudents as interns have been enthusiastic in their praise of the students’ abilities, work ethic,and enthusiasm. Students have learned first-hand lessons
in participating schools to new combinations of curricular, co-curricular andextra-curricular activities and experiences that will foster entrepreneurial thinking in allengineers. This thinking is grounded in complementing technical competence with business Page 25.913.4 acumen, customer awareness, ethics and an entrepreneurial spirit.

and courses are an excellent way to satisfy graduation requirements as many ofthese classes totaling 16 credits may count towards general education requirements and thestudent's major.The valuable academic experiences are complemented with the central offices of program staff.In this way, students can easily visit staff offices to discuss their latest new venture idea or totackle a tough legal, financial or ethical question. The program directors are seasoned in theentrepreneurial community, pairing practical experience with a top-tier education to coach teamsand individually mentor students.3.5 Seed Fund and InternshipsA $50,000 seed fund is available each year for students of the Hinman CEOs Program, theHillman Entrepreneurs Program, and

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

They are sharing projects with colleagues around the Page 13.750.18world, and must exhibit managerial and entrepreneurial skills with a clearer understanding of othercultures and ethics (Chau, 2005). We believe that a good way to proceed is to: • Explore the most relevant skills to become more innovative • Develop multiple hands-on activity-based Innovation Modules, each of which aims at specific skills, and with focused objectives and outcomes • Aggregate the modules into Innovation Units that are actual classes required to be

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.

feedback are presented.Introduction and Course DescriptionThe College of Engineering (CoE) seeks opportunities to enhance its program curriculumhelping students become more successful after graduation. As of October 2017, the CoE’smission is as follows:“The mission of the College of Engineering is to develop team-oriented engineeringprofessionals from diverse backgrounds who are prepared to ethically apply industry-currentreal-world skills to achieve value-added solutions in a dynamic world.”During 2017, CoE successfully received an ABET re-accreditation with no interim reports for sixyears for the BSEE and BSCE undergraduate programs. During the accreditation process, oneissue ABET visitors posed a question to CoE paraphrased as: where does the
work in teams, as well as to understand themotivations and perspectives of others. 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

Unfortunately, in practice 49,50 the BMC is notwell equipped for entrepreneurship in fields where there are high barriers to entry. Experimentationand “failing forward” works well in markets that are fluid, have low regulatory and manufacturingbarriers, and few ethical questions. But most mature markets, which compose the vast majority ofpositions available to entry level engineers, are not of this type. The airline, automobile, medicaldevice, chemical processing, food, agriculture and biotechnology industries cannot adopt a “failforward” attitude. In fact, in
