Engineering Education, 2015 Opportunity Thinktank: Laying a foundation for the entrepreneurially minded engineerIntroductionDesign projects have become a principal element of the undergraduate engineering curriculum.Recently, using the KEEN philosophy, there is momentum to push engineering education furtherby fostering an entrepreneurial mindset among students. Providing a basic set of engineeringskills in specific specialty areas of study is no longer sufficient. Engineers design solutions formarketplace problems. As such it is imperative that they approach the marketplace in search ofopportunities for which they can design break-through solutions. This is the mindset of theentrepreneur. The need for entrepreneurial thinking is pervasive among

the heart of the reason for listening toothers: “I think a part of innovation is life’s experiences, what someone has really done in their lifetime, what kinds of experiences they’ve had. (Innovation happens) if in fact their mind or their thinking is open to the point where they are inquisitive. They want to know. They want to know more. Or they’ve had a personal experience in their life that has been puzzling and they just don’t have a solution for it and they want to be able to find it.”- GeorgeRisk taking or the willingness to risk failure is an attribute of an innovative engineer but not anattribute that is found in abundance among practicing engineers. Frank makes the point thatorganizations tend to
