hand, entrepreneurship education is defined byTorrance and Rauch as “the teaching of skills and cultivation of talents that students need to startbusinesses, identify opportunities, manage risk, and innovate in the course of their careers” [9].Therefore, it is prudent to incline students toward adopting entrepreneurship as a tool forinnovation and value creation, enabling them to discover, evaluate, and exploit businessopportunities essential to economic growth [10].Thus, this study is designed to challenge students to employ their intellectual gifts and combinethese two rival concepts (sustainability and entrepreneurship), connecting them with STEM andart.

The project work promotes teamwork which help the students prepare for careers in industrial manufacturing andentrepreneurship by providing them with valuable prior experience in an academic setting.A study by Kujala et al. (2015), provides insights into the motivation and challenges thatstudent’s face when working on such projects. The authors conducted a case study at a Finnishuniversity of technology, where students were given the opportunity to identify and solve real-life problems using innovative approaches. The study found that students were motivated toparticipate in the course for a variety of reasons, including the opportunity to work on real-lifeproblems, to develop their

For example, one student noted that: “I was able to learn from my team members how to use screwdrivers and cut wood as I have never worked with these tools before. I even took the time outside of class to get familiar with them, as they are valuable skills that I can use at home and in my career.”ConnectionsAccording to the connections rubric [11] that

Manufacturing Education for Engineers Manufacturing education is a type of education that focuses on teaching individuals the skillsand knowledge they need to work in the manufacturing industry. This may include technicalskills such as operating machinery, as well as a broader understanding of the manufacturingprocess and how different parts of a manufacturing facility work together [17]. Manufacturingeducation can be obtained through a variety of programs, including vocational schools,community colleges, and four-year universities. The goal of manufacturing education is toprepare individuals for careers in this important industry, which plays a vital role in theeconomy. Manufacturing coursework is

The literature on the integration of Arts and STEMshows several benefits of this approach [14-16]. Integration of Arts and STEM enhancesstudents’ skill in “problem-seeking” in conjunction with problem-solving skills - the formerinvolving divergent interdisciplinary modes of thinking, shifting among various disciplinaryperspectives, while the latter is focused on convergent analytical thought. STEAM experiencesare also known to improve students’ motivation towards STEM careers [14]. Following thetaxonomical categories of National Core Arts Standards on “conceiving

education into theengineering curriculum had a significant impact on improving creativity, critical thinking, andproblem-solving skills [9]. Shane and Venkataraman defined entrepreneurship as “the discovery,evaluation, and exploitation of opportunity” [10]. Academic research on teaching the EMsuggests that developing an entrepreneurial mindset in engineering students is a process thatrequires practice and repetition. Consequently, EM should be incorporated in courses throughouttheir educational career and not limited to one or two courses.Once implemented, entrepreneurial education provides students with an opportunity to use theirtechnical knowledge to meet market demands and create solutions to real-world problems. Itallows the students to become

I think a lot of students are interested in it and I think it’s an important skill but it’s not something that I had when I was a student and it’s not something that I really gained (laughs) during my career in academia.It is important to note there are stand-alone courses in entrepreneurial thinking for engineeringstudents at the site.

I also made sure I was taking leftovers home when going to a restaurant.”Impact of the course was also seen in terms of how the course will affect their future professionalwork, and also how they have started sharing information about the course (specifically on S/CCtopics) with others.
