An entrepreneurial mindset will allow them touse their technical skills effectively in turning opportunity to an achievement that has societaland economic value. Engineering students with entrepreneurial training are therefore expected tobegin their career with a competitive advantage. To develop entrepreneurial engineers, theTagliatela College of Engineering at the University of New Haven is enriching its curriculum byintegrating e-learning modules into regular engineering courses. When complete, there will be 18e-learning modules targeting various entrepreneurial concepts and skills based on the KEENFramework. In this paper, the approach of integrating the e-learning

However, in order to achieve the desiredoutcomes of the new course, innovative teaching strategies needed to be implemented within thecontext of a more “real world” experience. In addition, a pedagogy that enhances theentrepreneurial mindset and is designed for maximum student engagement and retention wasdesired. Upon consideration, the format of a studio course was chosen for the second yearengineering design class.

Not only engineering accreditation agencies are requiringteamwork assessment, but the professional workplace is expecting graduates that are prepared tobe productive in cross-functional teams1,2. From an innovation point of view, team negotiationstrategies are crucial for engineering design. Negotiation techniques entail the ways thatindividuals deliberate, discuss or communicate in order to achieve a particular temporary or longterm agreement or consensus.

importance of EML skills.IntroductionRecently, there has been significant interest in the inclusion of activities based onentrepreneurially minded learning (EML) in engineering courses.1-3 The interest is due to avariety of factors, including feedback from employers that students with EML skills are morehighly sought than those with strictly technical backgrounds.1 Skills that have been identified asbeing important for an entrepreneurial mindset include effective communication, teamwork,customer awareness, learning through failure, and tolerance for ambiguity.1 Since these skillsare not typically cultivated in the traditional engineering curriculum, new EML-based activitiesthat can be implemented in existing engineering courses are highly sought.At

Such an examination calls fortranslational activities that help unearth the mechanisms that embody the entrepreneurial method.These translational activities should synthesize and integrate entrepreneurship concepts intolarger frameworks, and illustrate how entrepreneurial principles apply across contexts.In this light, this paper provides a framework of entrepreneurship as a design philosophy, shownin Figure 1.
