definitely a new approach resulting in a different method of recruiting faculty for mentoringthe teams.In order to “quick start” the integration of innovation into the engineering curriculum, we createdan overall strategy of starting with piloting a Freshman class, then piloting a SeniorDesign/Capstone class, then providing pathways from the Freshman class (two semester class) tothe Senior Design/Capstone class. The concept was to introduce the key elements of innovationin the first year, including results and recommendations from [6] and [8] and the experiencesfrom an existing Freshman research class, expand on key aspects from the Freshman innovationclass in existing sophomore- and junior-level major-specific classes (again using the results

refereed publications and over $16 million in funded grant proposals.Dr. Meagan R. Kendall, University of Texas, El Paso An Assistant Professor at The University of Texas at El Paso, Dr. Meagan R. Kendall is helping develop a new Engineering Leadership Program to enable students to bridge the gap between traditional engineer- ing education and what they will really experience in industry. With a background in both engineering education and design thinking, her research focuses on how Hispanic students develop an identity as an engineer, methods for enhancing student motivation, and methods for involving students in curriculum development and teaching through Peer Designed Instruction. c

However, it is not easy for students tobuild up entrepreneurial skills within one course or a couple of courses in an already crowdedengineering program. The College of Engineering (CoE) decided to embed entrepreneurial skillsin engineering learning activities for a number of courses throughout the program

CoE see theirstudents after three to five years beyond graduation? To better address this question for anotherABET visit in six years, CoE intends to enrich its program curriculum and equip students withadditional skills by incorporating an entrepreneurial mindset.In September 2017, the College of Engineering (CoE) decided to embed entrepreneurial skills inengineering learning activities for a number of courses throughout the program curriculum,requiring an efficient and integrated process. By incorporating EML in different coursesequences such as circuits, electronic design, and communications systems, students will havethe opportunity to develop and build up their entrepreneurial mindset.The CoE already offers elements of systems thinking

However, there is very little documentation inthe engineering education literature on engineering deans’ perspectives on this topic. A few insights have emerged from the few studies that have focused on this critical groupof stakeholders.

The content of the three e- mails varied slightly, highlighting various values for the respondent each time: the opportunity to give something back to their alma mater and prospective students by further improving the curriculum; the chance to reflect on their own educational and career goals; and an opportunity to win a prize. • The initial drafts took 20

Often theseorganizations are competing for the same membership or attendees for training in the facultydevelopment.So we come back to the original question, “How does a consistently ranked undergraduateengineering and computer science program retain its excellence in undergraduate education, whilealso aspiring to become an outstanding research institution?” On Baylor University’s campusthere are a number resources that contribute to this goal. The Academy for Teaching andLearning (ATL) has a two-fold mission: globally, to support and inspire a flourishing communityof learning; locally, to promote the integration of teaching

surveys of alumni. This paperwill share the significant lessons learned from offering the Entrepreneurship Minor as acurricular option within the Engineering Curriculum for the past decade. In doing so, the paperwill highlight the ways in which Villanova University’s program is unique among EngineeringEntrepreneurship Minors located at other universities.History of the MinorVillanova University started an engineering entrepreneurship minor program in the fall 2008semester. At the time, an entrepreneurship minor was offered in the Business School and a groupof engineering faculty members had been considering offering a minor to engineering studentsbut the initiative did not gain traction until a seed grant was provided by the Kern FamilyFoundation

many studentsas possible by spreading them through different years and courses in the curriculum. Each modulevaried in the amount of in class vs out of class time, and no one module tried to include all of themajor concepts. Each project focused on one or two main concepts allowing the students tounderstand that specific set of skills in an example relevant to the course material. The goal wasto not make it feel as though “irrelevant” material was being “shoved into” the course, but ratheruse EM concepts to excite and engage the students. Several modules have been developed to hit the curriculum in as many places as possible,however, only a few have been implemented thus far, and are presented in detail here (indicated 1-3 in Table 1).

-2013 6 1693 0.53%Table 1 shows that about a tenth of a percent of students can be expected to enroll for anentrepreneurship minor. This situation may not be unique to Stevens, as a major study by Cao etal. [4] found that just 18 students out of the 7197 that were surveyed had a minor inentrepreneurship (0.25 percent). Studies by Duval-Couetil et al. [11] have shown that interest inentrepreneurship strengthens when students take one or more courses in entrepreneurship. Tobuild entrepreneurial thinking into our curriculum, we concluded that a required course thatbuilds and integrates elements of entrepreneurial thinking into our existing curriculum wasnecessary.Integrating senior design and

Being agood designer is a hallmark trait of an engineer and design curriculum is an integral componentof engineering education programs. As noted above, success in product design is elusive as 40%or more of products introduced to the marketplace fail to find success1.Concepts from systems engineering have been applied in developing a series of value-connectedviews (tables and diagrams) that have been applied in design courses at all levels22. The viewsare based upon a comprehensive metamodel23 that identifies items of

educational programtitled Engineering-Science Intellectual Property Project (ESIP-Project). This project includesthree degree-counted elective courses that together create an IP concentration in an engineeringBS curriculum. The intent of the project is to generate within students a deep understanding of IPrequirements for creating novel, nonobvious, and non-infringing designs. In addition, the ESIP-Project is designed to teach IP concepts as they relate to engineering design, as well as criticalthinking skills and innovation. More specifically, students will be prepared to engage in prior artreview, identify what is needed to obtain enforceable designs, and apply strategies to avoidinfringement of existing patents. At the culmination of ESIP-Project

attitudes appear to make an impacton behavior including the ability to identify opportunities, make connections, and create value.These specific changes in attitudes and behavior point to the development of an entrepreneurialmindset. This experiences overall had a major influence on all three students’ career aspirations.None of these students had entrepreneurial-related intentions prior to college, which makes thefindings all the more interesting.Literature Review The reason for the strong interest to integrate entrepreneurship into engineering educationis it is widely believed entrepreneurship education can lead to the development of knowledge,skills, and attitudes that are in alignment with the ABET E2000 standards (Shuman, Besterfield

To date, 73 teamshave completed the I-Corps™ training process at this site; these teams have achieved variouslevels of success in completing the process and moving beyond it in commercializing their work.Along the way, anecdotal evidence has suggested that individual characteristics, teamcomposition, and team interactions are key factors in the success or failure of I-Corps™ teams,but until now, these hypotheses have not been investigated in detail.
