solutions not only for themselves butalso for their employers and for the benefit of society.Although CoE emphasized to students that capstone projects must fill a customer need, a usefulframework is desired to give students more direction and structure so that their capstone projectsor senior design projects can be expanded to have more relevant value for the marketplace. Theintent of the entrepreneurial approach is not to graduate students who will start their ownbusinesses (although some of the engineering alumni have already done so), but to motivate andcreate value for themselves and their employer that benefits society by developing theirentrepreneurial mindset [1], [2], [3], [4].Since CoE does not offer any entrepreneurial courses and system

This is also reflected in whatindustry needs as skillset in future workforce. Thought sound technical background and Page 26.1454.3understanding is essential to having a successful engineering career, engineers find remarkablesuccess when they couple

program's initial role was to provide a generalist viewpoint on engineering, particularly for those undergraduates who had an entrepreneurial bent. The idea was to provide a degree program suitable for someone who would need to know knowledge across engineering disciplines, but not to senior level in all disciplines. Although the program had some students graduating each year, it was becoming somewhat stagnant by 2007 when an effort was made to begin a rejuvenation project. The working team of two faculty, one Mechanical Engineering faculty and one Computer Science faculty (first author of this report) examined both the market need for generalist engineering (prompted by The Engineer of 2020) and the

She obtained her BS in General Engineering (Systems & Design) and MS in Systems and Entrepreneurial Engineering from the University of Illinois and PhD in Engineering Education from Purdue University. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Modeling the Systems Design Thinking ParadigmAbstractSystems thinking and design thinking have always been considered separate concepts. Systemsthinking is described as the cognition a person uses in the solution and design of large-scalecomplex systems, often requiring hypothetical and holistic approach. Design thinking prioritizesthe
