afirst-year engineering curriculum at Arizona State University. The class was a multidisciplinaryexperience with a maximum of 40 students enrolled in a section. The goal of these cards was tocover a wide variety of entrepreneurial mindset outcomes without relying on a single project.The four topics selected were engineering economics, customer awareness and stakeholders,engineering ethics, and value propositions and supporting data. Two of the four lessons weretaught as a supplement to the existing class project, but could be used either with any classproject or as stand-alone modules in classes without a project. A summary of each card isprovided below. These cards were implemented into the curriculum in the Fall 2018 semesterwith a class size

the Chinese nation in the cultural andspiritual path. Among them, the ethical culture of Confucianism constitutes the core oftraditional culture and is an important pillar of life and spiritual order. For example,Confucianism advocates “exercising benevolence”. The cultural intension of this kind ofbenevolence is manifested in the spirit of practicing, caring about society, and activelyjoining the society (ru shi). The Taoist thought advocates “inaction” or “do-nothingness” (wuwei) to express the heart of salvation. Among them, the dialectic thought that “being andnot-being grow out of one another” (you wu xiang sheng) in Lao Tzu’s Tao Te Ching hasimportant implications for entrepreneurial activities, such as starting a business from nothing

transition? What facets of EM may have helped with the transition? 3. Did COVID create a specific need for new techniques and tools in the faculty community? 4. Did the virtual setting present an opportunity to reach a broader community?BackgroundEngineering education has experienced transitions before, often during large cultural shifts. Afterthe Second World War there was a significant transition in STEM curricula toward scientificintegration [3]. In the early 2000s the change in ABET requirements for ethics created anothersea change in engineering curricula [4]. The increase in active learning and evidence-basedinstructional practices has started a slower change in engineering education during the last 20years.Another example of

education of the engineering leaders of the 21st century. Duderstadt provided a roadmap tothe future of engineering practice, research and education. Dr. James Duderstadt's report,published in 2008, was part of the Millennium Project at The University of Michigan. The Duderstadt model mirrors the medical school training model credited with propellingadvancement in medical practice during the last century [7], where the Bachelor of Sciencedegree includes a broad-based curriculum of engineering design, entrepreneurship, businessacumen, project management, technology, ingenuity, and innovation, professionalcommunication, ethics, and social sciences. We anticipated a significant fraction of the proposedLeadership Engineering program graduates to

that we have for a design course might be that the students will learn critical processes, software tools, and professional skills that will be necessary for a job in industry whose primary responsibility is design. This broad goal might represent just one of the values we have for the course. Other values might relate to acquisition of technical knowledge or practicing certain professional skills (communication, ethics, etc.). When considering the value propositions, consider questions such as: o What value do you believe that your course has for students and other stakeholders? o If you asked your students (or other stakeholders), what value do you think they would attribute to your course

study on freshman engineering students showed that students believed that to be successful onthe entrepreneurial side of design projects they had to be more creative and use problem solving[8]. In another study done at a Canadian university, engineering students were given theopportunity to take an engineering entrepreneurship course [29]. The students were given anopen-ended survey that asked questions such as why they chose to take the course and what theythink the qualities of an entrepreneur are. After taking the course, engineering students identifiedthat the attributes that are most defining of engineering entrepreneurship are creative/innovative,good work ethic, self-motivated, organized, strong people skills, desire to succeed

numerical methods into one course while keeping students engaged,and (2) infusion of liberal arts into math-heavy curriculum by facilitating conversations about thehistorical, ethical and societal aspects of computing. The PSS approach was leveraged tointroduce undergraduate engineering students to the contributions of scientists, mathematiciansand engineers from traditionally underrepresented groups. In class, students are tasked withexploring an open-ended problem with the goal of learning a fundamental numerical methodsconcept. The problem is contextualized with a real-world application and used to highlight theachievement of an underrepresented STEM figure that links to the concept. Students then workin groups of two while problem complexity
