EGE 1001 is a multidisciplinary course that serves to introduce first year students tothe role of the engineer in society and the engineering design process by engaging in multipleshort-term projects within one semester. The projects introduce basic engineering conceptswhile instilling EM attributes and behaviors such as: effective communication, teamwork, ethicsand ethical decision-making, customer awareness, innovation, time management, criticalthinking, global awareness, self-directed research, life-long learning, learning through failure,tolerance for ambiguity, and estimation [4].Sophomore Year - Most EM-focused programs employ the first year and seniorcapstone

three areas in whichengineering education must justifiably direct considerable attention.4 The Enterprise model, bydesign and in practice, requires a high degree of interaction among team members and betweenstudent team members and faculty advisors and industry mentors. Research establishes that theseinteractions are the most predictive measures of positive change in college students’ academicand personal development and satisfaction.1 The Enterprise program, as a core imperative foreducating engineers for the future, teaches and trains students for professional practice – withpractice understood as the “complex, creative, responsible, contextually grounded activities thatdefine the work of engineers at its best”.7The program, with its emphasis

The studentsare exposed to equipment and topics most have never analyzed or contemplated in the agriculturesector. After announcing the five problems, the students are immediately curious about the issuesand enthusiastic about how they are going to develop solutions. The student teams select theproblem they want to solve for their project. The teams research the subject matter and makeconnections with a farmer to gain more insight about the problem. With this connection, thestudents determine the requirements for the project design and realistic constraints about theequipment. The students
theworkforce [6]. There are many explanations of individual excellence and entrepreneurialmindset [7,8, 9] and multiple studies about engineering students [10,11,12] with an emphasison a high need for achievement and potential for break-through innovation [13]. Since the late1990’s engineers and designers have been exploring moods and feelings and their connectionto better solutions [14]. And while research links entrepreneurial status to personality theory[15] and personality to leadership [16], few studies focus on the impact of emotion oninnovative success. This paper aims to begin filling that gap with a preliminary experiment toshow how students experience a story of innovation. The experiment is inspired by Radcliffe President Mattina
Spraycool. In this course, leadership is firstdefined and then applied to the problem of identifying and innovating new products and servicesthat fill an emerging market need. Leverage is then applied in the form of creating intellectualproperty protection, and other barriers to entry to protect the enterprise from competition.Finally, the best formula for operating must be applied to achieve excellence across the board, inall areas critical to the function of the business. A significant part of the course consists ofstudent team projects. Approximately 15 – 20 students enroll in this course each year.The Graduate Faculty WorkshopThis annual event is directed at graduate students and faculty whose research may result inintellectual property that

Many a faculty resort to recruiting their graduate students and postdocs to be co-founders, but that often fails to address issues 3 and 4. Also, most universities have still notaligned their faculty-driven IP licensing and start-up generation aspirations with their tenure andpromotion policies, often creating a conflict between faculties success in their job and their IPdevelopment[10].Strategies for filing intellectual propertyWhen embarking on a new idea and business model, entrepreneurs need to leverageresourcefulness, time, and research as

As such,this course modification process involves more than 50 faculty members from multipledepartments and colleges. The process entails intensive week-long workshops, report-backaccountability sessions, closing-the-loop sessions, support teams of faculty from related contentareas, coordinators, peer-reviewers, and a leadership team of university administrators, facultyand staff.This paper will explain the reason and objectives for the course modifications and will detail theprocess to modify many diverse courses including faculty evaluation of the program.

This course includes a Short Course Module (for a system level understanding), Projects Module for hands-on appreciation and understanding of engineering, and a portion of a Challenges Module. This same cohort is currently enrolled in the Technical Writing course. This course is specifically designed to familiarize our engineering students with the content, organization, format, and style of specific types of engineering documents. The students are learning to compose within various genres such as instructions

While completing his doctoral dissertation, Dr. Rust served as an NSF GK-12 Graduate Fellow, which allowed him to develop hands-on engineering activities for high school students. In 2009, he joined the faculty of Western New England University, where he currently holds the position of Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering. He currently teaches undergraduate courses in bioinstrumentation, physiology, lab on a chip, and global health. Dr. Rust is a member of the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) and the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE). His research interests involve the development of point-of-care medical technologies, including
viewpoints of the device that include product dissection, competitive analysis, intellectual property, financial forecasting, marketing, sales, distribution, industry standards, project planning and sociocultural impacts.

Integrating the Entrepreneurial Mindset as an Engineering Educator o Pedagogical and Professional Development Resources o Resistance and ChangeAt Baylor University, these seminars and workshops have become a part of the culture of theSchool of ECS. At the start of each semester faculty ask when the workshops will begin and lookforward to seeing their colleagues and discussion how to become better educators. One indicationof the impact of these workshops is that after the CATME workshop, the decision was made touse CATME in both the junior and senior design classes (Engineering Design I and II)Best Practices in Faculty Development: What Works? What Doesn’t Work?Many institutions have workshops for faculty development and much has

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

In both studies, post intervention research reported high levels ofstudent engagement and satisfaction with the case study technique, as well as enthusiasm forentrepreneurship. However, there was no indication of either the extent or quality of theentrepreneurial learning or the impact on the core engineering learning.In an attempt to prepare engineers for a business career many educational institutions haveadopted a pedagogical approach that can generally be described as “design thinking.” While theconcept of design thinking can mean many things, the

thinking results in the development of a sound technical solution thataddresses customer needs, is feasible from a business perspective, and has societal benefit. It is difficult to develop the many professional skills needed by today’s graduates withinthe framework of engineering programs that are crowded by technical requirements. A creativeapproach is to utilize online learning modules. There are several advantages to the onlinelearning modules over the development of more traditional classroom content: • A large number of students, ideally all engineering students, can be required to complete the modules thereby having broad impact • The modules can be easily shared with other institutions for deployment • The modules can
