activities integrated withentrepreneurially minded learning. Students practiced and exercised engineering design processduring the second (spring) semester with an engineering entrepreneurial mindset through variousclass activities and design projects with selected topics. This also exposed the students to anengineer’s role in a society and the related responsibilities along with creation of new innovativeideas.Erdil et al. [10,11] studied a curricular model to develop an entrepreneurial mindset inengineering students which emanated from the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network(KEEN)’s 3C’s, of curiosity, connections and creating value. The study spanned across all fouryears of all engineering and computer science programs. Flipped classroom

With the remaining classtime, students work in their groups and complete their team contract, which is due at the nextclass. The team contract helps the team to reflect on past teaming experiences and setexpectations for their current team.The following week, students have work days when the instructor moves from team to team tohelp out and direct their work. During this week, the instructor invites students who have alreadycompleted HT to come back and talk with the current students. They could be a senior(s) whocompleted the class and/or a graduate(s) who indicated the value of the course structure to theirlearning. (The instructor started inviting former students after a

mastery isn’t a bad thing with the 80%s needed but the exams on the same day is a lot of pressure. Maybe a different way of retakes.Additional Survey Comments from students who did not have to retake any exams: 1) The structure felt perfect for this class. 2) Retakes are good minimum passing grade is too black and white in terms of students grasping the content 3) I think a pass/fail system is ok if the threshold is lower. 80% is a bit too high, at least on exams where one single mistake can mean a failing grade. 4) Use Canvas!! Pass/fail on quizzes makes no sense since one wrong is a fail. 5) Only down side (to me) is that Canvas doesn’t reflect actual grade. 6) Trying to understand the grading was brutal. It took a

the present with FIRST and robotics, they can also become useful inmy future career paths. For instance, in college, students will most likely be expected to worktogether in group projects, providing an opportunity for them to exercise their communicationskills. Even outside of school, employees may be expected to work in teams to completeprojects. Teamwork is an extremely important quality that is often made commonplace in many,if not all, collaborative environments as it can result in effective collaboration betweensubordinates due to the presence and flow of diverse ideas and perspectives. Since I, similar tomany others, was able to develop these skills through the FIRST program(s), I am now able toexercise these skills in practically

equations in their symbolic formwithout any algebraic manipulation. This approach enables students to concentrate on thefundamental physics of the problem rather than on the algebraic manipulation needed to isolatethe required solution variable(s). The authors recommend using a commercial program equationsolver for solving the equations, except for the most straightforward problems, which should beverified. This method allows for a natural extension to design, as all equations are in symbolicform and can be entered into modern engineering tools for validation and repetitive analysis. Byincorporating a computer equation solver with the raw symbolic equations, the method enhancesengineering productivity, reduces the chance of algebraic errors, and
