asingle week or multiple week-long activities [3]. With experience, an instructor can teach anentire course using such active learning techniques. It is important to understand thatentrepreneurship, in this context, is not necessarily about teaching students how to start a newbusiness, but rather to develop the mindset of innovation necessary to recognize opportunitiesand make the most of them [1,3]. An enterprise does not need to be created at the end of an EMLactivity. Entrepreneurial Minded Learning is designed to ● Stimulate curiosity. Students are encouraged to demonstrate constant curiosity about our changing world, and explore a contrarian view of accepted solutions. ● Make connections. Students integrate information from many
resources with essential characteristics that they are (i) rare (ii) valuable (iii) hard tocopy and (iv) difficult to substitute. It helps the students to understand that entrepreneurship isfundamentally a gathering and application of existing resources in new ways. Drucker [2] saysthat this application in the new way can make something worthless upto this point, into avaluable resource and thus entrepreneurship can create resources. This approach is more close tothe engineering students.The entrepreneurial mindset approach is designed to develop a way of seeing opportunity that is Page 24.464.3resident within a market. It is assumed that the
detail.3.1 Module 1: Entrepreneurial OpportunityEntrepreneur MindA personal assessment is conducted to determine the level of entrepreneurship mindset ofeach of our students. The personal assessment consists of a list of predetermined questionsthat ask about the career plan of students after graduation and about their desire to developand pursue an idea or business of their own. Based on the results, very few students showedlittle or no desire to be an entrepreneur. A large majority of the students showed a moderateinterest in being an entrepreneur, however, their degree of interest showed that they wereopen to the entrepreneurship but they were not likely to devote a lot of time to pursue it. Theywere much more likely to go out and find a job
business growth is Innovation, but they aremost often challenged on leading and managing the same. They are often hurdled on building aninnovation mindset, and usually, it is outsourced activity into the market research and developmentdepartment in any corporation. Failure to deliver Innovation hurts the business and one's careeraspirations within the organization that he works for the potential to improve a product andimprove a process. Diversity in thinking and changing a mindset is the foundation for building aninnovative mindset. Entrepreneurship is the next level of Innovation when an innovator tries tocombine all the resources to come out with a product or process to solve a problem cost-effectively.The global economy and job scenario trends
health, butmight not be the most favorite activity at that time.It is clear from research that creativity, innovation, entrepreneurial mindset, and greatpresentation skills are all very valuable skills industry desires in an employee. The trick is to getstudents to practice these skills in a way that they find to be fun, challenging, and will instill Page 26.1107.2these skills. At the Texas A&M University, this is accomplished with an Intensive InnovationExperience called Aggies Invent. This paper will discuss the key elements and lessons learnedfrom hosting three of these events. We will discuss the facility, the program, and the
better place. It is expectedthat TTU engineers will go on to be industry leaders, innovative business owners, and successfulentrepreneurs.The goal of the project reported in this paper is to prepare engineering students in three keycomponents of the college strategic plan: 1) leadership in industry, 2) innovation in business, and3) entrepreneurial success in engineering. These components are all being implemented in ajunior level manufacturing course, CNC Machining Practices. This course is an industrialprogramming course for automated machining systems like milling and turning. Students learnand practice coding, simulating, and real machining of industrial parts and components. Thiscourse is a required curricular course for engineering
on organizational culture and the learning organization o Leadership principles and practice, diversity, global collaboration, sustainability, innovation, ethics, judgment, and moral courage o The entrepreneurial mindset and problem solving o Develop understanding of the importance of leadership in achieving goals o Applying leadership in diverse engineering contexts o Learning that individuals can lead from all levels in the organizationLearning outcomesOne major learning outcome is to be able to differentiate between leadership and management.Students should understand the theory behind the practice of management and leadership, and tobroaden their understanding of themselves and their leadership potential.

Printing, Casting, and Entrepreneurship1. AbstractCasting is one of the oldest manufacturing processes. 3D Printing is known as one of the newesttechnologies used in the manufacturing field, and it is almost thirty years old. Although bothtechnologies are commonly used in various fields of industry and daily life, this research studyreports a unique implementation of both technologies in a new entrepreneurial environment. Theentire study had been performed in Summer 2016 as part of the Research Experiences forTeachers (RET) Supplement of a National Science foundation (NSF) funded project. In tenweeks of extensive design, 3D Printing, and casting studies, several best practices between theP16 educators and students have been established. As a

associated with K- WIDE, students participate because they want to become better design engineers and explore and hone their entrepreneurial thinking. Realization of a prototype isn’t the overall goal of this experience; it is used as a tool to create the context for thinking about design and value creation.
