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

Facultydevelopment has become one of the four core strategies in this mission. The others includebuilding thriving communities, working with affiliate organizations, and considering emergentideas that surround higher education.

For engineering alumni who have been entrepreneurs in the past, what activities led them to either become more entrepreneurially-minded or divert to a non- entrepreneurial career path?The participants in this study were 484 alumni who received their undergraduate engineeringdegrees in 2007 from four different universities in the United States. Our research aims to helpengineering educators understand the factors that promote and contribute to entrepreneurialpursuits among engineering alumni. In addition, by identifying what factors or circumstancesinfluence entrepreneurial activities, engineering schools may design programs and identifypotential opportunities for intervention.1

Another target goal to be achieved is to foster among themthe entrepreneurial mind to pursue other opportunities than finding a job in a company [6]. For theuniversity the final goal is to attract more students and enlarge the number of students inengineering programs. Besides this, by law, universities should provide services to thecommunity, what serves for both student’s practical period and society access to consultancy inengineering that is very expensive otherwise.

A popular approach is the use ofsurvey instruments. Lichtenstein and Zappe [2] reviewed 22 instruments developed to assessentrepreneurial mindset.We have developed a rigorously validated assessment instrument to explore the entrepreneurialmindset of engineering and computer science students [3], [4]. This instrument was developedbased on a framework in which an entrepreneurially minded engineer is defined as one whopossesses curiosity about our changing world, habitually makes connections to gain insight frommany sources of information, and focuses on creating value for others.

However, with this definition, comes challenges inassessment of the modules which is designed to incorporate “creativity” since a creative design is onlyassessed by the value it adds over time. However, this definition of creativity ties in congruently with theKern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network’s framework on Entrepreneurial Minded Learning (EML)which focuses on the value creation. Therefore, the KEEN framework itself is used as an assessment toolfor the module which will be discussed in the forthcoming sections. The assessment of the student workwas done based through poster presentations to external clients and which was judged by a retired F-35 testpilot.2. Ideation, Disruption and Aha
