Engineering Education, 2017 Incorporating Entrepreneurially Minded Learning into a Junior/Senior Level Mechatronics Course Project Covering Dynamic Systems, Modeling, and ControlAbstractAt Lawrence Technology University, a junior/senior level mechatronics course within theundergraduate mechanical engineering program was modified to include entrepreneurially mindedlearning content in existing problem-based learning activities. The real-world projectsincorporated modeling and analysis of dynamic systems, selection and integration of sensors andactuators, and feedback control. This study assessed the course modifications based on studentbehaviors corresponding to an entrepreneurial mindset. The entrepreneurial
