Manyengineering programs also augmented their curricula by offering co-curricular entrepreneurshipexperiences, allowing students to put entrepreneurial skills into practice, such as competitions ormentorship7.

: Implications of pedagogical approach for students’ mindsetAbstractStudent curiosity compels learners to go beyond what is presented in the classroom, to connectwhat they have discovered with other concepts, and to finally create new items and knowledge tohelp address the world’s problems. Encouraging this entrepreneurial mindset is a goal within anumber of courses at our institution. While not every learner arrives in our classrooms innatelycurious about the course topic, by using alternative instructional approaches, perhaps curiositymight be fostered more broadly.The goal of this study is to explore the hypothesis that courses that include open-ended, real-world problems will foster growth of the entrepreneurial mindset

However, there remainfew co-curricular opportunities for students to develop an entrepreneurial skillsetand practice entrepreneurial thinking. In particular, opportunities are rare forstudents to merge entrepreneurially minded learning (EML) with the high-levelsubject-, project- and collaboration-based learning approaches typically seen insenior-level elective courses.

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
innovation and an entrepreneurial mindset fortechnically oriented people (average score > 4). This was the case for views that (i) technicalcontent from the class can be applied in innovative and entrepreneurial ways; (ii) there is a strongcorrelation between outstanding written and oral communication skills and success – even fortechnically oriented people; (iii) it is important for a technical person to a have deepunderstanding of the end customers’ needs. Additionally, there was agreement on (iv) beingmotivated to pursue great ideas with passion and tenacity, and (v) valuing non-conventional,open-minded, lateral thinking and planning to routinely try to think that way. For these, therewas modest increase in agreement following the project in

The centers (also referred to asentrepreneurial education training programs) focus on developing entrepreneurial capabilitiesand mindset (associated socio-emotional skills and entrepreneurship awareness) and raisingsuccessful enterprises[5]. We decided to use the design thinking approach, which is elaboratedby Buchanan[6] as addressing intractable human concerns through design, and started byunderstanding requirements of prospective student entrepreneurs to establish a more useful EDC.The paper explains the approach that consisted of learning from people, finding patterns, andarriving at design principles for design of the proposed
some point later on in their careers, and also a generalquestion as to whether or not successful venture creation should be the primary metric by whichthe success of entrepreneurial education is judged. The Kern Entrepreneurial EngineeringNetwork (KEEN) model suggests that venture creation is just one potential aspect of successfulentrepreneurship education, and that the development of an ‘entrepreneurial mindset’, in whicheducators work to foster creativity and opportunity identification, results in graduates that arebetter prepared to solve meaningful problems within existing workplaces, in addition to startingnew ventures to address challenges [7], [8].A more recent review by Nabi, Liñan, Fayolle, Krueger, and Walmsley [9
framework was developed based on the literaturerevolving around the cognitive operations for problem framing and entrepreneurial engineeringmindsets to depict a) how individuals may react when encountering an ill-structured or complexproblem as well as b) the way in which an entrepreneurial engineering mindset may influencethis process. As such, the framework consists of two main components, 1) cognitive operationsrelated to problem framing and 2) the related aspects of an entrepreneurial engineering mindset.First, the framework describes how the characteristics of an entrepreneurial engineering mindsetmay influence the way in which people perceive problems. This includes the characteristics ofbusiness acumen, understanding customer needs

Forexample, students showed gains in various EML skills when engaged in modules related tofailure analysis case studies such as the Hyatt Regency Hotel Walkway Collapse [7]. Similargains were demonstrated when students conducted market research for a fictitious companylooking to locate a new fabrication facility near growing population centers [7].It should be noted that BME courses, in particular, present a unique opportunity to leverage thebenefits of EML.

framework is desired to give students more direction and structure sothat their capstone projects (or senior design projects) can be expanded to have more relevantmarket value. The intent of the entrepreneurial approach is not to graduate students who willstart their own businesses (although some of the engineering alumni have already done so), butto motivate and create value for themselves and their employer that benefits society bydeveloping their entrepreneurial mindset [1] [2] [3] [4].Based on the authors’ experience, some students have a hard time coming up with a project thatmeets the requirements for the capstone course.

Creativity and CuriosityAbstractThe nature of student mindset has been often probed in the recent engineering education literature. In thispaper, we revisit a multi-year study to provide updated on a particular facet of mindset in engineeringeducation we find particularly revealing – the misunderstood link between creativity and other mindsetfactors such as creatvity. This entrepreneurial mindset instrument used to investigate mindset ofengineering and computer science students was utilized at a private liberal arts university in the UnitedStates and first reported as a study on Dweck mindset among first through fourth year students.In this brief work in progress paper, we revisit this survey to determine the link between creativity andcuriosity
who are capable of adding or creating value within their academic and professional Page 26.287.2pursuits (Kriewall and Mekemson, 2010). Curiosity, connections, and value creation are central to instilling the entrepreneurial mindset in students (KEEN, 2014). It should be noted that the entrepreneurial mindset is distinct from skills and knowledge needed to execute and entrepreneurial venture, and is rather a set of attitudes. Engineering educators are trying to understand how to best foster the development of the entrepreneurial mindset in our students. There are progressive programs that have moved away from traditional models to try to
