today’s global economy, engineering graduates need to be prepared to possess both a strongtechnical skill set and an entrepreneurial mindset (EM) to drive innovations. According toKriewall and Mekemson [1], “an entrepreneurial minded engineer (i.e., an engineer instilled withthe entrepreneurial mindset) places product benefits before design features and leveragestechnology to fill unmet customer needs”. So, an engineer that is entrepreneurially minded canfocus on unmet customer needs and consider the benefits and impact of their designs in additionto their technical details. Many engineering programs and educators have now recognized theimportance of instilling an entrepreneurial mindset and many efforts have been made to improveprograms and

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 A Thermodynamics Design Project that Applies Theory, Explores Renewable Energy Topics, and Considers the Economic and Social Impacts of the DesignsAbstractThermodynamics courses introduce theoretical concepts that can be applied to real-worldproblems using impactful project-based learning (PBL). Entrepreneurially minded learning(EML) can augment PBL by instilling an entrepreneurial mindset (EM), categorized by curiosity,making connections, and creating value, in the students.

define an entrepreneurial mindset(EM) [9]. Entrepreneurially minded learning (EML) activities, as championed by KEEN,combine problem‑based or project-based learning activities with student skills associated with anentrepreneurial mindset. For example, these additional skills might include integratinginformation from many sources to gain insight, conveying engineering solutions in economicterms, and identifying unexpected opportunities to create value. EML activities emphasize“discovery, opportunity identification, and value creation with attention given to effectualthinking over causal (predictive) thinking” [10].Within engineering and the KEEN framework in particular, an entrepreneurial mindset is not thesame as entrepreneurship.

throughout the curriculum offers reinforced exposureto the topic of sustainability, ingraining a holistic and considerate approach into the minds andsolutions of engineers.ASEE Publications demonstrate significantly higher numbers of publications with sustainabilityin the title in the engineering disciplines of civil/environmental engineering than mechanicalengineering. This trend is supported with AASHE STARS data. The AASHE STARS data is aself-reporting system for sustainability achievements in higher education and it provides awindow into current sustainability practices in universities.A list of 50 universities graduating the most mechanical engineers annually was cross referencedwith available STARS data from the years 2017-2020, yielding a
