technological entrepreneurship programs. The innovationprocess is significantly improved and made more robust by adopting a SE mindset early in thetimeline. If SE concepts that work so well in engineering are applied to the innovation process,the quality of the innovation and likelihood of success are improved by significant orders ofmagnitude. For example potential investors will look more favorably on a product concept thathas a lifecycle design effort put into the initial model. This leads to a more mature productdevelopment process that is less likely to run into development troubles. Therefore the investorswill see a more desirable opportunity and the entrepreneur significantly improves the probabilityof entrepreneurial success.Goals of the

Twenty-six participants were surveyedbefore and after the program in order to determine the impact of the program in terms ofseveral entrepreneurial skills and mindsets including idea generation, pitching an idea,idea selection, primary and secondary consumer research, engaging customers,prototype fabrication and engaging potential business partners. Students from theUniversity’s Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Business, Pharmacy and Engineeringparticipated in the event with approximately one-half of the participating students beingengineers. Students ranged from first year engineering students up to Pharm. D.candidates. The 3DS program was run in coordination with

We propose that a more clearand concrete demonstration of the alignment of entrepreneurship education outcomes and ABETCriterion 3a-k, which involve both technical and non-technical skills, would catalyze theintegration of the entrepreneurial skills and knowledge into engineering courses. Furthermore,direct assessment of entrepreneurial outcomes could aid in improving the mechanisms ofachieving both ABET accreditation and the development of an entrepreneurial mindset amongengineering students.IntroductionIn recent years, the value of entrepreneurial skills and an entrepreneurial mindset tocontemporary college graduates has been well documented.

ambiguity in the definition of entrepreneurship isappropriate, as different markets, contexts, businesses, and ventures spawn unique problems thatrequire creative thinking and the innovative use of skills. One entrepreneur’s specific skills andinsights may be highly valuable and relevant in one scenario and inappropriate in another. Teaching students to develop the entrepreneurial mindset can also be challenging sincethe associated skills are not completely agreed upon in the academic literature. The goal of thisstudy is not to provide a definitive definition of entrepreneurship or a complete list of theentrepreneurial skills that are needed to be successful, but to examine instructors and students’definitions of entrepreneurship in order to

Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Developing a Direct Assessment for Measuring Students’ Ability to Make ConnectionsAbstractThe integration of entrepreneurial minded learning (EML) into engineering courses to developstudents’ entrepreneurial mindset (EM) is growing in popularity through efforts such as the KernEntrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN). As the integration of EML occurs, it is importantto assess students’ development of an EM to inform the efficacy of course changes. FollowingKEEN’s definition, we operationalize EM as the ability to create value, make connections, andbe curious. While we acknowledge the importance of all aspects of EML, in this full paper, wefocus on assessing students

’ entrepreneurial mindset. Purzer, Fila and Nataraja provide a review of assessment methods in engineeringentrepreneurship education [2]. Most studies on the general assessment of an entrepreneurialmindset (EM) have been based on personality instruments that were not specifically designed toassess EM. An extensive literature review and a new measure of EM—the EntrepreneurialMindset Profile—is presented by Davis, Hall and Mayer [3]. A survey instrument to assess EMspecifically tailored around the KEEN Framework was developed by Li, et al. [4] andBrunhaver, et al. [5]. These types assessments of EM are indirect measures based on surveyinstruments. If these are to be used to assess EM growth resulting from curricular or co-curricular intervention, then

These were introduced in the context of the engineering design process. Part of the ABETdefinition [2] of engineering design includes “... examples of possible constraints include …sustainability…”. The goal of this approach is to include sustainability as a constraint right nextto manufacturability, usability, cost, etc. so students see it as just another thing they need toconsider and not an extra requirement of sorts.
