increasingly complex world, higher educationinstitutions are more and more promoting entrepreneurial mindset and integratingentrepreneurship elements in their programs. Integration of entrepreneurially minded learning inengineering courses, which promotes entrepreneurial mindset and skills, is an approach that isgaining momentum among individual faculty members. This paper presents such effort involvinga junior level engineering statistics course. Given the abundance of data in today’s world and theimportance of extracting meaning out of them, statistics is an important tool for any disciplineincluding engineering. This importance is summed up in the following quote from WalterShewhart, who is known as the father of statistical quality control: “The
EM — fostering curiosity, connections and thecreation of value. An entrepreneurial mindset will allow engineers entering the workforce tocreate personal, economic, and societal value through a lifetime of meaningful work [1].This goal to teach engineers about EM is focused on transformation of the minds and hearts ofindividuals, an invitation to become co-investigators in a nationwide experiment. 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. Faculty development aligns with all three of the other corestrategies.One important aspect of the EU faculty development
; Smith et al.2017). This activity combines with an added emphasis among engineering programs to developan entrepreneurial mindset among their engineering students with the belief that this will lead tothem being more productive and innovative whether their career path leads them into establishedindustry (becoming “intrapreneurs”) or later as entrepreneurs.While this trend toward developing more entrepreneurially minded engineering students issupported by global economic trends and a rapidly changing work environment, one factor hasbeen largely overlooked in this process. Statistically, most entrepreneurial ventures fail, withdisproportionately large value being created from a minority of entrepreneurial endeavors (Coats,2019). Given this fact

The grades for individual students werethen averaged based on the points they were assigned by their peers. The project grade was decided bythe instructor based on the final presentation and the feedback from open-house attendees.a. Weekly presentations on social innovation case studies 40%b.

As an example, one faculty membercommented on a card, “This project is well thought out and comprehensive. If I were designing acourse from scratch I would strongly consider using this as the thread through the course as theauthors did,” [17], and plenty of other supportive but not-ready-as-is comments exist on the cardpages. Ultimately, engineering faculty already feel the pressure of having to teach too manytopics within each course, and many faculty members have trouble finding the time toincorporate entrepreneurially-minded learning into their courses [16].

Theworst-case for a start-up is to run out of resources and close-up shop while preparing the bestpatent portfolio to go to market. The lean start-up movement has realigned priorities somewhatwith keeping the customer discovery and value proposition at the ‘top of mind’ along with speedto revenues.In academia, the push for science and engineering faculty to generate IP has significantlyincreased over the last decade.

analyzing the 26 concept maps and creating one master concept map, it wasfound that EM is composed of character traits, attitudes, and behaviors, such as thinking outsideof the box, being open minded, being a risk taker, and critical thinking [27].The final stakeholder that is important to consider are students. There have been limited studieson students' definitions of EM in the engineering context, though a few studies have addressedbusiness student perspectives on entrepreneurial qualities. Some common attributes ofentrepreneurs given by undergraduate business students in the School of Economics at theUniversity of Turku in Finland are courage, social skills, supporting others, serving society, andmaking an effort to attain common goals [28].

Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Developing a Direct Assessment for Measuring Students’ Ability to Make ConnectionsAbstractThe integration of entrepreneurial minded learning (EML) into engineering courses to developstudents’ entrepreneurial mindset (EM) is growing in popularity through efforts such as the KernEntrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN). As the integration of EML occurs, it is importantto assess students’ development of an EM to inform the efficacy of course changes. FollowingKEEN’s definition, we operationalize EM as the ability to create value, make connections, andbe curious. While we acknowledge the importance of all aspects of EML, in this full paper, wefocus on assessing students

universities [1][2], butalso helps students embody design thinking and an entrepreneurial mindset [3].Regardless of the discipline applied, a common thread to engineering for healthcare (and othercomplex problems) is the application of design thinking. A core value of design thinking is thehuman-centered approach to solutions that can be effectively implemented [4]. In the trainingprocess, students are asked to determine the customer’s needs and to evaluate whether theproposed design is truly a solution to the problem. Importantly, coming up with an effectivedesign relies on a few habits of mind that are found in many innovators. The KEEN organizationcomprises these habits as the three C’s – curiosity, connections, creating value [5]. In
