- Incubating Student Startups in GhanaAbstractThis paper describes the Palm GreenLab and its first GreenLab Startup Weekend to encourageand support entrepreneurial student teams. Palm Institute is a 10-year-old liberal artsuniversity-college in Ghana, whose mission is to educate ethical and excellent leaders in Africa.The Palm GreenLab is an innovation and incubation lab that seeks to “unearth and supporttalents that solve wicked problems with creative ideas, and to nurture and scale the growth ofambitious entrepreneurial projects”. The GreenLab plans to provide an array of offerings andsupport for student entrepreneurship. In Fall 2022, the GreenLab ran its first Startup Weekend -a two day intensive experience in which students pitched and evaluated

EntrepreneurshipAbstractThis work-in-progress paper explores three different academic opportunities that introduceundergraduate students to innovation and engineering entrepreneurship. Courses focused on theexplicit teaching of knowledge, skills, and attitudes associated with innovation andentrepreneurship are inherently able to include learning objectives that align with many of theABET student outcomes, including how to: understand the context in which an engineeringdesign will be implemented, effectively communicate ideas, work in multidisciplinary teams, andparticipate in ethical decision making. The three academic opportunities offered at the Universityof Illinois Urbana-Champaign which are discussed in this paper include: 1) a semester-longintroductory course
engineers. The main research question this poses is how doesconcept mapping affect STEM students' understanding of entrepreneurial mindset?ABET Computing Criteria lists these three student outcomes: 1. Communicate effectively in a variety of professional contexts. 2. Recognize professional responsibilities and make informed judgments in computing practice based on legal and ethical principles. 3. Function effectively as a member or leader of a team engaged in activities appropriate to the program’s discipline. [2] 1In order to implement these principles effectively, the research team integrated an activity that

It focuses on analyzing scientific literature forenvironmental impacts, specifically chemical contamination from anthropogenic disasters. Thecourse explains basic scientific concepts related to human-made environmental hazards anddiscusses various case studies. It offers opportunities for reading, creative and critical thinking,instilling an entrepreneurial mindset, ethical reasoning and action, and oral and writtencommunication. Classes typically have 20-25 students.Redesign of Course via a Backward Design ApproachThe first

identifying areas ofimprovement within a given system and suggesting opportunities for innovation. Thepromise of many programs is to use ST to evaluate existing knowledge and resourcesrelevant to a particular health systems issue, plan and execute an innovative solution toaddress the issue at hand, evaluate the outcomes of the implementation, and present thesolution to key stakeholders in the host organization engaged in personal self-evaluationand critical reflection [30]. More importantly, the programs promise to deliver“applications of ethical theory to health reform, systems approach to health programmingplanning and evaluation, international comparison of health systems, and an in-depthinvestigation of health sector subsystems or building blocks

Data analysis involves employing specific procedures for the establishedquestionnaires, with Pearson's correlation coefficient applied to the section developed in theresearch. The data are exported to statistical software for analysis. Quality of Research: Theresearch's quality is buttressed by the validity of the instrument, evaluated through expertjudgment, and reliability assessed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The instrument's reliability isset at a high level (0.887), indicating internal consistency. Despite adhering to ethical protocols,the study's limitations include the potential for bias in participants' responses and the limitedgeneralizability of results

Our interviewprotocol was meticulously designed with a structured framework to ensure consistency andcomparability among responses, drawing from best practices in exploratory qualitativeresearch [48]. It aimed to explore common attributes between innovative individuals andfounders without limiting participants' responses. Ethical approval was obtained fromStanford University's Institutional Review Board, and interviews were conducted via Zoomwith consent for recording. Twenty-six hours of interview recordings were captured andtranscribed, and transcripts were anonymized to ensure confidentiality. More information onthe strategy
