-Corps site entrepreneurial leads and their career goalsAs indicated above, two scholars with an innovation and entrepreneurship major backgroundfrom Clarkson University in New York was recruited to work with the REU scholars. One of thestudents had a business and entrepreneurship background, while the second student had achemical engineering and entrepreneurship background. Clarkson University in NY with aninnovation and entrepreneurship major was approached to recruit these students, culminating in aSkype interview with those students. Based on this interview, we were convinced that thesestudents were focused on commercializing innovations in the field of materials scienceengineering. The students indicated that this internship would allow

questions for this project: 1. How consistent are the three EM frameworks, measured through the similarity of results when used to analyze EM engineering courses? 2. How clear are the three EM frameworks, measured by challenges identified when attempting to utilize ambiguous or overly-specific EM learning objectives when measuring the EM content of courses?To answer these questions, three curricula were identified: first-year engineering laboratorycoursework, a third-year technical project designed with EM in mind, and a multidisciplinarysenior capstone course. These courses were chosen to span the entire career of an engineeringstudent, from first-year to senior capstone, to give a more complete dataset. Each curriculumthen

Specifically, offering summer experiences alleviates the need forstudents to take additional coursework outside of degree requirements that may be challenging tofit into student schedules already filled with academic rigor. Many college students alreadyparticipate in Research Experience for Undergraduates (REUs) or other undergraduate researchopportunities, or obtain an internship with a company during their summer semesters. Thesesummer opportunities develop not only valuable skill sets for academic and career development,but may also help students achieve the various GCSP competencies.Examples of existing

a comprehensive set of measuresdesigned to quantify student participants’ individual differences in innovative capacity andbehavior. Drawing from seminal works on creativity and contemporary innovation inventories, theintent of the survey is to capture pre- and post-intervention levels of student innovation. In concertwith quantitative measures that have demonstrated good validity and reliability, the surveyincludes qualitative measures aimed at understanding students’ idiosyncratic conceptualization ofinnovation, and its relationship to their career aspirations.The survey was administered to undergraduate students. Three potential innovation styles (as anoutcome, a process, and a mindset) are tested before and after program intervention

or develop these attitudes.This discussion led to identification and clustering of all the concepts under 24 uniquecategories that define EM.Step 4: Knowledge Gap IdentificationAs noted in the work by Zappe, educators can be influenced by their own career experienceand belief about entrepreneurship when seeking to define EM [11]. The researchers whoconducted the previous steps represent different disciplinary and career backgrounds. A thirdresearcher, with a different disciplinary background, reviewed existing literature thatdescribed EM and identified gaps in the categories and concept lists. These new conceptswere placed under a relevant category from Step 3. The first two columns in Table 3 show theconcepts considered “behaviors” after

integratetechnical and professional skills and knowledge in their development as an engineer [1]”. Inaddition, engineering students’ involvement in activities outside of the classroom, such asstudent competition teams, contributes to their achievement of numerous other outcomes;according to Simmons, et al, engagement with these activities enhances students’ “career andprofessional development, communication and leadership development, intellectualdevelopment, personal and social development, academic and social engagement, interculturalcompetence, satisfaction with college experiences, and college belonging and persistence inmajor and college [2]”. Working on a competition team, therefore, contributes to thedevelopment of students’ design and build skills

theentrepreneurial journey to designing programs that allow students to have founder experiencesand launch their own business ventures. The intention of these programs is for engineeringstudents to gain a skillset and orientation towards being more innovative and entrepreneurial intheir careers once they leave the university, whether they choose to try to immediately start acompany or not.Many of the activities that are designed into entrepreneurship programs, however, result instudents experiencing varying degrees of failure with the most extreme case being student-launched ventures that fail. While entrepreneurship programs typically talk about embracingfailure and learning to fail fast, it’s unclear what impact these failure experiences have

For example, one of the student reports mentioned business opportunitiesand the need of international standards to pursue them: “The IoT plays a key role in sustainable cities and communities. Successful and safe IoT technology will create more career and business opportunities. Our research shows that the most effective, and maybe also only global, solution for data security issues are laws, standards and contracts.” (group E, first report)All student groups were concerned about the economy in some manner in the initial reports.Some took it from a global point of view, where the
