entrepreneurship education to examine: (a)the extent and nature of faculty involvement in undergraduate IP; (b) issues confronting facultyas they relate to undergraduate IP; (c) indicators of success; (d) future changes for promotingstudent involvement in IP generation; and (e) best practices. Most faculty members indicated thatunclear policies, a lack of information, and questions around ownership of inventions were themost significant obstacles when guiding and teaching students. This research contributes to bestpractices for undergraduate IP generation to minimize challenges for faculty, students, andacademic institutions.Running Head: FACULTY VIEWS OF UNDERGRADUATE IP POLICIES Faculty Views of Undergraduate Intellectual Property Policies and

the next year [26]. Similarly, one reviewer’s comment on the draft manuscript for thispaper pointed to one aspect of the broader impact of the research contained herein: “thatentrepreneurial outcomes can be achieved in existing engineering curricula through revisiting theexisting outcomes or minor modifications.” The research contained within this paper hasdemonstrated a connection between entrepreneurial mindset and the ABET Student Outcomes.An appropriate selection of performance indicators can thus be used to help focus attention onthe entrepreneurial mindset aspects of one’s program. Subsequent course-level tweaks made tohelp students attain the outcomes associated with these indicators, such as through the adoptionof various educational

deliverables:(1) a “research sequence” consisting of a rhetorical analysis, an annotated bibliography, and aliterature review, (2) a humanities assignment in which students explore the impact oftechnology on societal needs, and (3) laboratory and design reports stemming from the projects.In many cases, there are two grades associated with a design project- one for the report and onefor the “technical merit” of the design itself. For example, when a project on wind turbine design[6] was introduced into the course, 20% of the course grade was based upon how muchelectricity a student team’s turbine generated, and another 20% was based upon the final designreport associated with the project. (The other 60% was primarily based upon other major

specific courses; therefore, the technical assignments to which the contextual activities are linked differ significantly. However, the module-related tasks students are asked to complete are similar. The students typically complete a personality test to determine what role is best suited to each team member and prepare a team charter. They also write a reflection paper discussing the behaviors and emotions observed at each stage of their team’s development period, any conflicts experienced during the project life cycle, and the approach used to resolve conflicts.Relating Assessment Outcomes to KSOs The AOs are different for each e-learning module.

through and learn fromfailure” was found to be a competency that the study participants felt was important for creativityand value creation. A survey of engineering capstone faculty asking how they incorporateentrepreneurial practices into their capstone courses indicated just over half encouraged the useof failure or fail forward in the design iteration process (Matthew et al., 2014).Researchers at the University of New Haven (Li, et al., 2016; Li, et al., 2018; Li, et al., 2019)developed an instrument intended to measure entrepreneurial mindset. This instrument containsseveral items relating to failure, which they conceptualize as being a part of the entrepreneurialmindset. Again, while these studies and the instrument are not focused on

to measure students’ self-evaluation of their participation and potential distractions during the learning activity.Since 2017, the StRIP instrument has been completed by more than 1,000 students in US universityengineering programs. Seventeen engineering faculty have also been interviewed by researchers[14]. While many students embrace active learning and report positive learning experiences [15-17], the evidence-based results have also revealed a few reasons for their resistance. One of themajor concerns was lack of motivation. In other words, some students would not see the value inthe new learning techniques. Additionally, distraction coming from the internet or social mediasometimes negatively impacts their learning efficiency. It

In practice, young graduate engineers who want to create the future in-stead of staying in a comfortable and predictable world of natural sciences, need to navigateand negotiate their way in complex and constantly changing environments that have both nat-ural sciences based and more human centered challenges. Engineering education research haswidely acknowledged this and it is a common baseline for curricula and teaching methods indesign and in engineering education yet pragmatic solutions tend to be context driven and fo-cused on areas that are measurable quantitatively. There is a need for facilitated understand-ing of motivation and

He spends a great deal of time looking for ways to break out of the traditional engineering mold and to make engineering more broadly accessible to students. His research interest is the application of mobile computing to interesting, human-focused problems. He holds three degrees in computer engineering including graduate degrees from Virginia Tech and an undergraduate degree from NC State University. c

. However, these very traits oftenlead to problems when building large scale software systems. As has been reported by Felder[2], most engineering students tend to be introverted and sensing in their nature. This makes itdifficult for students to interact with others and can lead to problems when building complexsoftware systems. Software engineers often fail to understand the human aspects of the systemsthey design, yielding non-optimum results when finished.We know from the research that appropriate requirements gathering, and elicitation are critical tothe success of software engineering projects. Efforts in effectively defining requirements pay offin both faster deliveries and more successful projects [3]. Thus, it is essential that a
