The course concludeswith presentation of the proposed startups to a panel of experts in technology, innovation, andentrepreneurship.The study recruited its participants via email; some students had graduated and had emailaccounts that were possibly no longer accessed by them. From the total subject pool, 16 studentsparticipated, for a participation rate of 47%. Fourteen of the interviews were conducted inperson, and three were conducted over the telephone. The interviews were conducted over thespan of about six weeks and lasted between 15 and 25 minutes each. Of the 16 studentsinterviewed, all had completed the junior-level

prompted to compare their guesses with what they actuallyfound.The goal of backward archaeology is to piece together a clear and consistent narrative of howdecisions were made as their product was moving from idea to the market. Along the way theyfind holes in the story and must attempt to fill them with further research or their best guesses.The mid-term assignment is a formal presentation of the backward archaeology on their product.This backward archaeology then becomes a set-up for the forward archaeology phase - a way toknowing the product, the company, the customers and the strategies that align (or do not align)with the company values and mission.The forward archaeology goal is to propose clear and coherent actions (driven by a higher
curriculum. Engineering design courses are frequently used to givestudents opportunities to practice entrepreneurial skills while working on real world engineeringproblems (Shartrand and Weilerstein, 2012). Entrepreneurial-Minded Learning (EML) pedagogyhas been developed as techniques that emphasize students learning to create value, gather andassimilate information to discover opportunities or insights for further action (Melton, 2014). TheEML pedagogy provides engineering faculty with a useful and effective tool for embeddingentrepreneurship modules within individual technical courses. Rather than displacing technicalcontent, EML promotes inductive learning and allows students to explore the “why”, “real-worldrelevance”, and “impact” of the

Furthermore he of- fers workshops on professional teaching and learning for engineering faculty. In his research Dominik May focuses, inter alia, on future requirements for science and engineering graduates, such as interna- tional competence, in order to become successful engineers in a globalized professional world. Therefore he designs and investigates respective educational strategies with a special focus on online solutions and the integration of remote laboratories. For his research and the development of several transnational on- line courses he
as many of the 2015-2016 ECS Faculty Development Seminars as possible • Attend the ECS Faculty Half-day Teaching Workshop on December 8, 2015 • Attend a luncheon on December 8, 2015, with past KEEN Innovators to discuss lessons learned/best practices • Design an implementation plan to design, develop, and deploy the module(s) produced in the award timeframe • Assess the initial results of the module(s) • Make the module and all related teaching materials available for use throughout the KEEN network • Results of implementation and assessment will be published in a discipline-appropriate venue in the 2016-2017academic year. One faculty member has already published his results in the spring 2016
next section of this paper presents some typical characteristics of a UAS in Germany. It is anestablished type of a higher education institution differing from the traditional universities by itsapplication orientation onto practice. The intention of the section is to highlight the specificimportance of UAS graduates in ongoing innovation processes. Section 3 introduces the topic ofempathy in design and technological development as a crucial requirement. Role playing isintroduced as a means to bring about a more empathic thinking in Section 4. Section 5 describesthe case study, the schedule of the full day seminar, and the intended learning outcomes. InSection 6 the learning outcomes for the teacher and students are discussed followed by a
. The authors’ research into existing entrepreneurship case materialsrevealed a large number of cases, but several factors led us to develop our own case studiesrather than try to adopt those existing cases. These factors include: • The focus of the case studies is mainly on the business and entrepreneurship aspects as opposed to on application of engineering principles in an entrepreneurial venture (though many of the products are highly technical in nature). • The desire for the author’s to engage area technical entrepreneurs to begin to build relationships with that community. • Many of the cases are quite long (i.e., would take more class time than the authors envision being available – at least before the idea
