-direction. What people tend to remember, and the meaning they ascribe to thesememories, is influenced by the people they share their stories with: their parents, friends, andteachers. Based on this research literature, we thus incorporated story-driven learning into ourundergraduate curriculum.Another central tenet in, and intended outcome of, our curriculum is the development of anentrepreneurial mindset, as described by the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network(KEEN). The ultimate goal of infusing entrepreneurially minded learning (EML) into ourundergraduate engineering curriculum is to not only develop our students’ engineering skill set,but to also habitualize the use of that skill set to create value for themselves, others, and societyas a

Chrysler Corporation.At Stanford she has served a chair of the faculty senate, and recently served as Associate Vice Provost forGraduate Education. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 Exploring the relationship between mindfulness and innovation in engineering studentsAbstractAn open, receptive, and curious (mindful) mindset is often cited as important in innovation. Yet,engineering education typically focuses on narrow analytical training at the expense of fosteringexpansive thinking. To specifically explore the relationship between a mindful attitude (open,receptive, curious) and innovation, we examined the relationship between dispositionalmindfulness and innovation self

Sky’s the Limit: Drones for Social Good courseincludes critical aspects that relate to multiple engineering disciplines, which allows students toidentify the connections between drones and their particular engineering concentration. Thecourse is also multi-disciplinary and encourages critical social reflection. Students consider abroad range of applications of drones with the goal of promoting social good. The courseculminates in an entrepreneurial project that incorporates knowledge and skills from severalengineering disciplines in the context of engineering for social good.Research has found that female, Black, and/or Latinx engineering students are drawn to pursuingcareers that they identify as promoting social justice and a greater social

derived from one culture but then decontextualized from this culture and traveled to othercultures. For instance, dominant images of American engineering education such as student-centered, active learning, outcome-based assessment, and the entrepreneurial mindset originatedin the United States but have become global forms and traveled to other places in the worldincluding China. The global nature of these dominant images also provides a methodologicaljustification that explains why we should learn the dominant images of American engineeringeducation before we discuss Chinese engineering education. A major goal of Chineseengineering educators is to respond to those globalized images of engineering educationtraveling from the United States. In

Cs that contribute to an entrepreneurial mindset: Curiosity, Connections, and Creating Value.The course objectives state that, as a result of Introduction to Disability Studies, students will Demonstrate curiosity about how people with disabilities (deafness, autism, paralysis, etc.) experience the world and how those experiences challenge us to redefine, reconceptualize, and re/design for disability. Students will be able to answer questions like: How does disability studies help us understand the perspectives, motivations, and needs of others? Make connections between their STEM work and the field of disability studies. Students will be able to answer questions like: How has science and technology

ofentrepreneurship, with alumni comparing their AB engineering classes to the BS engineeringscience classes they took: “The BS courses were more academically rigorous, while the ABcourses involved more creativity and independent problem-solving.” Alumni also described aparticular entrepreneurial mindset cultivated by the program: “There are two kinds of creativity, the Einstein version to see something in nothing; few of us have that ability, certainly not I, and the creativity that comes from seeing how things in one place can become something else in a different place, a different market, a different use, a new service or product. This kind of creativity requires

found in France, the U.S. educational system clearly drawssignificantly on entrepreneurial energies, going back well before the present neoliberal era. Onthe other hand, Cold War science policy has also contributed to the diversity of U.S. academicinstitutions (Geiger 1993, 2015). While this diversity has allowed the U.S. educational system tobe highly productive in generating a highly versatile and skilled workforce as well as newknowledge, this can also frustrate efforts to craft uniform visions and standards withinengineering education. Even when new standards are established and enforced, the entrenchedpatterns of institutional diversity will often harbor discontent with the status quo, leading tofurther rounds of reform.The background

reports simply called for even more modernengineers.Figure 1: A visual depiction of new competencies needed by engineers upon review of theGrinter Report (1995) and the Vision of the Engineer of 2020 Reports (2004 and 2005).Even from an accreditation perspective, in 1997, ABET released Engineering Criteria 2000which made it clear that engineering education needed to include these global, societal,economic, and environmental mindsets in future engineers [4]. The incorporation of what arecommonly termed “soft skills” in engineering curriculum, including teamwork, communication,ethics, and social consciousness, were soon considered a necessity. Engineering coursework hadalready garnered a reputation as being content-heavy, so innovative and unique

KEEN is“a national partnership of universities with the shared mission to graduate engineers with anentrepreneurial mindset so they can create personal, economic, and societal value through alifetime of meaningful work” [28]. This is accomplished by incorporating entrepreneuriallyminded learning (EML) into the classroom, instilling curiosity, connections, and creating valuein the students.

private firms and engineers who are entrepreneurial and trying to create new things. I don't think we can, but this is getting to something bigger, but the crisis with climate change is too big for us to wait for politicians to lead the charge, and engineers are a big part of the private industry that can put us on the right path. That was my problem with that statement.
