In contrast, when we integrate practical-orientedlearning methodologies and experiential learning with the curriculum in the class to improvestudents’ creativity and help students to learn from previous experiences and avoid repeating thesame mistakes. The common factors leading to a lack of integrating experiential learning [9], • Lack of faculty experience and techniques. • Insufficient educational spaces and equipment • Not paying attention to parallel and additional experiences • Insufficient class management by the educators and techniciansAnother way to compensate for and overcome the lack of practical experience and hands-onskills is to seek an opportunity for internships or coops

highschool students and 64% of middle school students found systems thinking concepts and tools tobe an effective way to learn class material [41].More specifically, systems thinking instruction appears to be less prevalent in engineering thanin other fields. Engineering as a field could greatly benefit from the incorporation of ST into itseducation system. Godfrey et al. emphasize this value by discussing the benefits of incorporatingconcepts of ST into the engineering curriculum to promote critical thinking, problem-solving,and creativity among engineering students [42]. Applications of ST have been discussed toenhance students' learning power, which refers to their ability to learn independently and adapt tochanging situations. More courses in

theories weredeveloped independently, they have been integrated to get better understanding of the “self”(Stets and Burke, 2000).Self-determination theory (SDT) derives from social psychology, and it relates to the motivationbehind people’s choices in the absence of external influences. Its roots are in comparing intrinsicand extrinsic motives and the understanding of the dominant role that intrinsic motivation playsin individual behavior. Intrinsic motivation refers to doing an activity for the inherent satisfactionor enjoyment it brings to an individual, and not because of external pressures or rewards such assatisfaction, self-esteem, competence, and pro-social behavior (Ryan & Deci, 2000). In contrast,extrinsic motivation refers to doing

How might we connect people to EM assessment tools that already exist?BackgroundEngineering faculty have been working to incorporate entrepreneurial mindset in curriculum formany years. Several efforts have been made by prior authors to summarize the existing literatureon assessment of EM. In an effort to find the appropriate tools for assessing entrepreneurialmindset, a systematic literature search resulted in a comprehensive listing of availableinstruments and surveys. Prior work by Grzybowski et al. had provided a preliminary structurecategory [2].

Whereas engineers are typically programmed to developnew solutions, entrepreneurially minded engineers are educated in identifying the mostappropriate solution to these newly uncovered needs, regardless of whether they are new orexisting solutions that may be integrated or augmented to satisfy the market need. While thereare multiple definitions for entrepreneurs, this paper posits the definition that states“Entrepreneurs, in the purest sense, are those who identify a need—any need—and fill it. It’s aprimordial urge, independent of product, service, industry or market” [13].

In a follow-on study, it was of interest to evaluate theimpacts of the addition of mentors into the curriculum design activity.

To assess studentdevelopment of curiosity, a direct and an indirect assessment for curiosity were integrated intothe curriculum for a first-year engineering honors program at a large midwestern university. TheFive-Dimensional Curiosity Scale (5DC), a 25-item instrument developed by Kashdan andcolleagues, was implemented as the indirect assessment. The direct assessment for curiosity wasdeveloped by the research team and tasks students to brainstorm about a topic and then write 10distinct questions about that topic. Both assessments were administered at two time points in theacademic year. A subset of data of 54

Therefore, NativeAmerican students who may not see/engage in this aspect may be particularly at risk of losingmotivation for - and possibly leaving - their engineering majors [1]. These issues contribute tolow Native American representation and deprive the U.S. of an opportunity to increase diversityto solve better engineering problems and design innovative solutions that benefit more people[11].A 2012 study from Lesley University indicates Arts integration in STEM stimulates deeplearning and increases student engagement among minority students

Considering real-life needs, the development of a professional skill set comprising proficiency in communication,business, creativity, leadership, and other attributes, is nearly or equally as important as theacquisition of technical skills by engineering students.
