and has redesigned the course to include a variety of sustainability and climate change(S/CC) topics situated within the context of social entrepreneurship and wicked problems (WPs).Since 2015, the author has been periodically modifying and improving the course. 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
students in STEM majors [5]. 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

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
observed. The CW scores weresignificantly different between female and male students, except for black/white shading. 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. The results illustratethat there are significant differences between artistic creativity and innovation attitudes inengineering students.AcknowledgmentsThis material is based in part on work supported by the National Science Foundation underAward No. 2205067.

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 survey aimed to understand students’ “attitudes towards professionalskills is to predict their intention to master those skills during college and enact them aftergraduation” [13, p. 1430]. This recent work is focused on helping universities develop curriculathat incorporate professional skill development within technical courses and seems particularlyuseful for engineering educators. Another option might be using the Miville-GuzmanUniversality-Diversity Scale—Short form (MGUDS-S) to determine their openness to andappreciation of cultural diversity [14].Students should be taught creativity theories and methodologies in engineering design courses toincrease creativity in

Entrepreneurship as a keycompetence for the economic and social progress of the country. However, the current training intechnical careers does not adequately cover the collaborative skills associated withentrepreneurship. The general objective was to test Moscoso´s pedagogical model that integratesspecific competencies, such as leadership, team communication, and team mediation, within thecurriculum of technical careers. The specific objectives focused on designing and proposing apedagogical model for the development of each of these competencies, comparing responses to aquestionnaire applied

discussion activity in the workshop investigated in thisstudy is like the AUT, but two major differences: (1) the participants were given physical objectsthat they can explore by their senses and (2) the participants were asked to determine the object’sbasic function(s) along with its societal functions and metaphorical connotations. By giving theparticipants physical object by asking the participants to think of the societal function of anobject, the workshop facilitator invited participants to expand their thinking to include thesocietal context beyond one’s individual experience. Furthermore, by asking the participants tothink of metaphorical connotations, the workshop facilitator invited participants to furtherexpand their thinking and dig

For instance, KEEN (The Kern Entrepreneurial EngineeringNetwork) partners with more than 50 colleges and universities across the United States. KEENfocuses on teaching undergraduate students the entrepreneurial mindset (EM) so they can createpersonal, economic, and social value through a lifetime of meaningful work.Also, in sustainability and specifically in the AEC industry, there are many governmentprograms and non-profit organizations at the local, national, and global levels, such as U.S.Green Building Council, Engineers Without Borders (Designing Sustainable Solutions), andWorld Green Council.Moreover, since the early 1990’s
