. KEEN operationalizes EM into the “3C’s”, which represent a set of desiredEntrepreneurially Minded Learning (EML) outcomes that include Curiosity, Connections, andCreating Value [13]. The Ohio State University (OSU) began its partnership with KEEN in 2017and has since integrated the 3C’s into many courses across the College of Engineering. Theseinitiatives began with the restructuring of the design-build course in the First-Year EngineeringProgram (FYEP) standard sequence [15] and have expanded to the FYEP honors sequence,Capstone courses, and intermediate engineering courses. Efforts to assess students’ EM haveparalleled these integrations, including the development of 14 Entrepreneurial Mindset LearningObjectives (EMLOs) [16] and a “toolkit

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]. Ultimately, thesuccess of an entrepreneurial engineer depends on their ability to validate, attract, and acquirecustomers who seek to

The case being looked at is bounded by theparticipants (engineers and engineering interns), industry (Ag Tech start-ups), and location(Midwest US). It was a qualitative study since semi-structured interviews, held over zoom, wereused to collect the data. The interview questions were based on the resources listed in theWRICM model. Multiple questions were formed with each resource and the skills connected to itin mind. Participants were also asked about their background, degree programs, and how theywould describe their job.

Both recruitment methods target businesscourse sections and entrepreneurship clubs likely to contain interested parties. Theentrepreneurial students receive the engineering students’ design work (engineering drawings,3D CAD models, etc.) at the close of the semester. Prior to commencing their projects and at theclose of the projects, engineering students working on entrepreneurial projects receive invitationsto take the affective capacities survey.

1Examining The Differences In Grade Point Average For Engineering Students Enrolled In Entrepreneurial Education ProgramsAbstract Undergraduate students in engineering continue to gain exposure to entrepreneurialprogramming through different entrepreneurship education programs (EEPs) initiated in highereducation institutions. While traditionally, entrepreneurship education has been initiated andhoused in business schools; recent programmatic offerings have increased in the engineeringschools. Through various offerings (e.g., full-credit courses and seminars), engineering EEPsfocus on developing entrepreneurially-minded engineering graduates to prepare them to succeedin their future career roles.

While mentorship is important to the success of undergraduates in research,Davis et al. point out that faculty will not be encouraged to participate in mentoringundergraduates unless there is perceived institutional support for this activity.Research and Entrepreneurially Minded LearningBoth faculty and students need to connect research with the concepts of EML, or morespecifically curiosity, connections and creating value. Research and engineering education areoften thought of as separate topics but they are linked. Involvement in research, for eitherstudents or faculty, addresses the need to develop curiosity and the ability to ask the rightquestion. KEEN [12] developed a framework to supplement

This theme is important to note because the inclusion of astakeholder or customer is the key element that differentiates entrepreneurially minded learningfrom project-based learning [3] and customer awareness is an important attribute of anentrepreneurially minded engineer [14]. The excerpts below show examples of how studentsrecognized the importance of focusing on the customer when designing solutions: “Specifically, I learned to identify the three clients: the decision-maker, the payer, and the end- user. I then learned how to formulate a problem statement that addresses client needs. Most of my previous experience was focused on technical skills, so learning to design for a client

emphasized inentrepreneurial programs [2].Entrepreneurially-minded learning (EML) is an emergent pedagogy that emphasizes discovery,opportunity identification, and value creation. As a teaching method, it can be applied to all areasof study and has been developed by hundreds of faculty members at colleges and universitiesacross the country [3], [4]. EML can also be infused to specific fields of engineering at any levelfrom freshmen to capstone courses [5], [6]. EML relies on real-world experiences; opportunitiesto practice information literacy–accessing, analyzing, and synthesizing information; expert-to-novice mentoring in the learning process [7]; and value sensitive design which results in universalvalue creation [8].
