Our research project is focused on how EM may be infused into undergraduate researchexperiences for engineering students. For several years, we have offered a workshop to help facultydevelop methods to build EM into research practice. This includes research in traditional lab groups andalso building course-based undergraduate research
suitablecandidates for a curriculum focused on technological innovation. Undergraduate innovationprograms should create programs that cater to the student’s individual needs. In addition, Someinnovation programs require more resources and support to help students turn their ideas intoviable enterprises or businesses, which is another reason why many undergraduate programs needto be more effective and sustainable [1]. For example, a program might provide financial supportfor student projects but without mentoring, business development assistance, or networkingopportunities. It may be challenging for undergraduate students in some programs to continuedeveloping and building their ideas once the program is done. Hence, it requires committedleadership
strategies that may work well to understandentrepreneurial mindset (EM) in engineering students.Our team is also working to help those new to the topic to find tools quickly that may align withthe EM project or research questions they are working on. The research group includes experts inassessment from the fields of education, psychology, and engineering - a composition that allowsus to evaluate different tools from the perspective of validity and the educator. While we cannotyet answer each research question below, this paper presents our current work-in-progress onseveral research questions: 1. What tools and best practices have been developed for the assessment of EM? 2. What are the best descriptors of assessment for

Some studieshave suggested the I-Corps model has several potential benefits within undergraduate education,but more research is needed to elucidate the features of I-Corps that are most valuable at theundergraduate level.In this study, we developed a new Entrepreneurial Bioengineering elective course for junior andsenior undergraduate engineering students that models various aspects of the I-Corps program.The course introduces entrepreneurship, business model canvas, and lean start-up principles tothe students with a focus on medical device customer discovery and technologycommercialization. Students work in teams to form project ideas, interview customers, testbusiness model hypotheses, and present their discoveries. The goal of this
uncertain future that lies ahead. Evidence suggests thatproficiency in innovation, critical thinking, complex problem-solving, and effectivecommunication positions students for success in sustainable engineering careers [2-4]. However,a prevalent culture of risk aversion among students stifles exploration into unchartedtechnological territories, thereby limiting their comprehensive academic growth [5].In response to these challenges, this paper presents an evaluative study of an inventive, multi-disciplinary, project-based course known as "Innovation Through Making." This course isdesigned to blend the foundational Engineering Sciences (ES) curriculum with anEntrepreneurial Mindset, thereby endowing students with critical knowledge and

While CUREs have many similarities to traditional laboratory courses or courseresearch projects, the work students do as part of a CURE is framed in a fundamentally differentway. Research projects within CUREs ideally have direct and indirect impact on the broaderscientific community and offer students the opportunity to share study findings with externalstakeholders [8]. Consequently, CUREs represent an overlap between the triumvirate of studentlearning, stakeholder impact, and promotion of a faculty’s research program.In this work

One of the participants noted how coupled theskills can be together and hard to assess them separately. EF added: So I think that those (communication) are some of the more important soft skills that are a little bit difficult to assess. And I find that they’re difficult to assess because they’re difficult to decouple from the technical content. Meaning if someone is going to do a great job presenting awful technical work, it’s very difficult

OSU’s established EMLOs have since guided EML curricular development throughout theundergraduate engineering program.Over the last two years, several changes guided by the EMLOs have been made to the FYEPhonors sequence. These include the implementation of an “EM workshop” that includesactivities on all 3C’s as well as chances to provide more emphasis on user needs and problem/opportunity identification on design projects [18]. Using assessments from our 3C’s toolkit, wehave also shown that students exhibit growth over the academic year in their self-perceivedabilities to make Connections and in their indirectly and directly measured abilities to CreateValue [19, 20].
