The College recognized thatfuture engineers must have, in addition to technical-based education in engineering and math andscience, exposure to innovation and entrepreneurship. In doing such, students would now have themindset and skills to become innovative, entrepreneurial engineers who would be flexible,resilient, creative, and empathetic and, as such, have the ability to recognize and seize opportunitiesduring their entire engineering career. 1 This is shown as Figure 1 in a Venn diagram.

Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E) learningenvironments in engineering courses and programs, it is valuable to assess the characteristics andcareer goals of engineering students who pursue them.Research QuestionsThe primary research questions for this study are: 1. What are characteristics of engineering students who are pursuing business minors, concentrations, and certificates? 2. Are these students more likely to be involved in entrepreneurship-related and other extra- and co-curricular activities than are other engineering students? 3. Do these students have higher (or lower) innovation self-efficacy than do other engineering students? 4. Is there a difference in career goals between these students and their peers

Explanations for women’s underrepresentation in male-dominated fields, such as engineeringand entrepreneurship, have been subject to debate for decades 16,17. However, upon closerexamination of the literature, these explanations can be divided into two major categories:characteristics of the individual and characteristics of the environment. Individual characteristicssuch as a person’s sense of self-efficacy and agency certainly contribute to one’s interest andcapability for success in a particular field. Yet, the nature of the environment in which onechooses to participate also plays a critical role in women’s academic and career decision-making.Key arguments pertaining to individuals’ characteristics

For example, most technical companies expect that new hires will be able to tacklecomplex multidisciplinary problems, and the ability to innovate is now an “integrative meta-attribute” desired in all engineering graduates 3. Pulling together disparate fields in innovativeways is now an expectation.

, individuals require technical knowledge. They cannot, however, rely on a skillset alone if they hope to enjoy fulfilling careers. Individuals need a mindset that adds “know-why” to technical “know-how” to contribute to the success of their colleagues and employers, as well as to create value for others. An entrepreneurial mindset is key to personal and professional success. Engineers equipped with this mindset understand the bigger picture and, therefore, can recognize opportunities, evaluate markets, and learn from their mistakes. These engineers are capable of more than solving technical problems; they are constantly looking for unexpected ways to create value After recognizing the

thefirst course that BME students take in their major, involves modules on anatomy, bioethics,careers within BME, and conservation-based problem solving. In previous iterations of thecourse, a design project was implemented that allowed students to propose solutions to problemsidentified during a tour of a clinical care facility. While this project was a useful exercise toengage students in engineering design, they often had no quantitative basis for their designproposal. Instead, they often relied on intuition and preferences as opposed to being data-driven.In the present course offering, the design project was restructured to (1) utilize the data-drivenQS methodology and (2) focus on the development of concepts for devices to aid individualswith

benefit of the Fermi Method, is that it considers units when making an estimation. Fartoo often students arrive at an answer that is off by a factor of the units. They multiply and dividecorrectly, but do not pay attention to their units in the process. Unfortunately, this problem hasfollowed a few students into their careers. Major disasters, such as the NASA Orbiter and GimliGlider are a result of this. In the case of the Gimli Glider, an Air Canada aircraft, the fuel wasweighed and added in kilograms, rather than imperial units (1kg≠ 1lb)11. However, Fermiaccounts for this because your units must cancel in order to achieve your final answer. Fermi canalso be used as an inspection to make sure that your calculated value is in the correct range

Specifically, students in the sophomore studio are expected to identify opportunities anddefine problems themselves, interact with real customers, and design, build, and test prototypesthat create value for these customers. In addition, project management, communication,teamwork, and market analysis skills need to be developed in this course to prepare students fortheir senior capstone projects and future careers. Bringing all of these aspects together, thefollowing learning objectives were identified. By the end of the semester, the student will be ableto: 1. Generate, screen, and select promising design
