The results show that students appreciate the fact that they will be able to analyze realworld problems and apply entrepreneurial skills (KEEN objective).

knowledge of mass momentsof inertia and the entrepreneurial mindset.The research goal of the project was to determine if two hands-on activities in an engineeringstatics course could help students engage more fully with mass moment of inertia and improvetheir understanding of the concept. The activities are also part of a larger effort at the XXX toembed the entrepreneurial mindset across the curriculum[7]. The entrepreneurial mindsetincludes helping students connect engineering topics with real world systems and buildingcuriosity about systems. To assess understanding, a class using traditional learning techniques(control) was used to compare to a class using the activities. It was hypothesized students whocomplete the two in class activities will
