This paperdescribes the redesign and implementation of this course since 2015, focusing on the sectiontaught in 2023, as the most recent iteration of the course.The course focuses on three overarching topics: 1. Wicked problems (WPs). WPs are defined as very complex problems. They are hard to define and are characterized by having no stopping point, no point in which the problem has been clearly “solved” [1]. Climate change has been described as an example of a WP [2

Active learning experiences are broadlydefined as activities that students do to further knowledge and understanding of a topic and canbe anything from brief pauses during lectures to allow for reflection to semester-long off-siteprojects. Active learning can be particularly beneficial for the most challenging aspects of acourse, such as the analysis of frames and machines in a statics and dynamics course for whichstudents must apply their knowledge of several previous topics to systems with complexstructures and multi-force member(s). Additionally, entrepreneurial mindset learning (EML) has been incorporated intoengineering programs. Through EML, student learn how engineering principles combinedcuriosity and a

Kuratko, Fisher, andAudretsch’s [28] study from a business context describes EM as consisting of three aspects:cognitive, behavioral, and emotional, positing that without all three working together, anindividual’s EM has not reached its fullest potential.The KEEN 3Cs framework captures multiple elements of EM, including motivations, skills, andoutcomes. London et al.’s [12] study developed a conceptual framework for the 3Cs that includesboth mindset outcomes (attitudes) and behavioral outcomes (actions). For example, Curiosity isassociated with the mindset outcome “willingness to challenge accepted solutions” (p. 7), andthe behavioral

EM13’s reflection on the significance of seeing the broader context,beyond mere problem-solving, underscores this point: “I think what gave me confidence ininnovation and entrepreneurship is understanding the bigger picture. It’s not just solving aproblem, but also trying to sell it to someone, having someone pay for it. […] Askingquestions like: what's the problem you're solving? Who are you solving it for? Why are thealternatives inferior, and why is now the right time to solve this? What’s the marketopportunity?”Expanding on this, integrating this big-picture perspective early in the learning process iscrucial for understanding the
one metric (See Table5). For instance, Students 6, 7, 9 and 10 experienced changes for ToA in excess of 10%, with thefirst three experiencing sharp increases and the last showing a substantial decrease. Students 6and 7 also registered similar increases in nAch and GSE, respectively. Students 2 and 4experienced >10% declines in nAch, but Student 12 shows a noteworthy increase in GSE. Thesespikes might be part of the dataset’s background noise. Alternatively, they suggest a trend thatmay prove detectable by a larger study. They certainly beg a few direct questions. Why, forexample, did Student 6’s ToA rise by 25%? A qualitative study might have yielded insight intothis comparatively large change, and future work in this area could benefit

It is an innovative expansion fromSTEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) that incorporates artistic elements (the study of thehumanities, language arts, dance, drama, music, visual arts, design, new media and more) into STEMeducation [26][27].

Therewere no significant differences between the AE scores for female versus male students. Therewas a negative correlation between CW and ISE scores. A correlation between multilingualismand travel with artistic creativity and ISE attributes could not be established.

Curiosity indirect assessment that uses Kashdan etal.’s [27] 5-Dimensional Curiosity Scale were developed by a previous team of OSU researchers[21].The Curiosity indirect assessment applies Kashdan et al.’s [27] Five-Dimensional Curiosity Scale(5DC) which has been validated and previously used within an engineering education context[27]. The five dimensions or constructs of Curiosity in this scale are Joyous Exploration (JE - theelements of curiosity that spark joy,) Deprivation Sensitivity (DS – curiosity that causes tension),Stress Tolerance (ST – curiosity that associated with the unknown), Social Curiosity (SC –curiosity with interpersonal interactions), and Thrill Seeking (TS – risky behaviors or situationsone partakes in due to curiosity with

The modelproposed here is intended to be a starting point for discussion rather than a fully validated model.In the future, we would like to continue to conduct a deeper investigation of program setups toinclude co-curricular and extracurricular activities in our program analysis. We would also like tointerview more universities to understand if the model captures the elements in other universitiesas well.
