Efforts at developing technical communication, project management, andteamwork skills have been underway at many institutions over the last decade. A newer initiativeis the development of entrepreneurial thinking skills.1-3 At its core, entrepreneurial thinkingrequires: (1) insatiable curiosity to investigate a rapidly changing world; (2) the ability toinnovate by make connections between different streams of information; and (3) to create valuefor others.

ofthe PAC. With this multi-dimensional SWOT analysis in hand, students are more aware of the pos-sible barriers to executing each idea, and are in a good position to iterate on their forward-lookingstrategies, tactics and actions. The next step is for students to put on the hat of the Chief ExecutiveOfficer and make the best holistic decision on what actions to take. This leading idea becomes theone that they will pursue for their forward archeology proposal.Throughout forward archaeology students make many discoveries. For example, complex deci-sions must take into account the current and projected economic environment, regulatory land-scape, bleeding-edge technology, and movement of competitors, as well as the internal competen-cies, product

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 net result of the interacting emotions may be anything from a meltdown of the engineer’s confidence (and concomitant drop in innovation-related competencies) to a team experience that improves the product, learns about the product/customer domain and builds team esprit de corps (and builds innovation-related competencies of individuals). These outcomes depend on many things including the dynamics of the design review and tone and content of
