as an elective, reaching arelatively small audience. Recently, authors increasingly argue that teaching an entrepreneurialmindset requires an integrated approach.2,3,4Kettering University has adopted this approach by trying to incorporate entrepreneurial ideasdirectly into existing classes. This can be difficult to accomplish for several reasons. First,engineering professors find it difficult to make room in the course syllabus for an entrepreneurial Page 22.845.2education. Further, many faculty have not been exposed to the “entrepreneurial mindset” andthus do not feel prepared to broach the subject in class. Kettering University has

universityeducation tends towards an integral formation, where teachers take a role as process facilitators,adapting strategies to students' needs. In this approach, all actors are relevant since theycontribute with ideas, reflections, and feedback en-route to a shared learning experience;therefore, everybody learns continuously, which allows us to develop continuous improvementsand apply what we teach. Here lies the value of feedback provided by each student.As can be seen in figure 5, the Questionnaire proposes seven areas to evaluate by students.

Most of these projects are now externally sponsoredby companies that are trying to increase their design bandwidth, jumpstart a new productidea, or in some cases become more involved with students to develop a better pipelinefor new hires.

For instance, some courses attempt to introduce experiential leaning throughinter-disciplinary projects.4 Others teach loosely related topics using a unifying theme in fieldssuch psychology5 and biology.6 However, most inter-disciplinary courses usually focus on thedepth of specific content in a couple of disciplines rather than the breadth, i.e. integration ofcontent across a variety of disciplines. More specifically, all students taking such an inter-disciplinary course are required to master the skills and the content equally well regardless oftheir core discipline. An immediate shortcoming of this approach is that it severely restricts thediversity of student participants with respect
