Engineering Education, 2015 Opportunity Thinktank: Laying a foundation for the entrepreneurially minded engineerIntroductionDesign projects have become a principal element of the undergraduate engineering curriculum.Recently, using the KEEN philosophy, there is momentum to push engineering education furtherby fostering an entrepreneurial mindset among students. Providing a basic set of engineeringskills in specific specialty areas of study is no longer sufficient. Engineers design solutions formarketplace problems. As such it is imperative that they approach the marketplace in search ofopportunities for which they can design break-through solutions. This is the mindset of theentrepreneur. The need for entrepreneurial thinking is pervasive among

GROW: An Equity-Minded Framework to Support the Integration of Equity and Inclusion in Learning2020 brought awareness to many issues surrounding equity and inclusion across the nation. In collegesand universities around the country, open forums on systemic racism and gender bias allowed newvoices to shine through and strategic plans on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) to be reimagined. Acommon theme that has emerged from these discussions is the critical need to effectively integrateequity and inclusion into the teaching and learning environment. As equity-minded institutions, we havea responsibility to not only meet our students where they are at, but also our faculty. Thus, wedeveloped a framework that provides faculty with a self
