In particular, studentsare invited to answer an open ended questions, “how much would you pay to watch a perfectsunset?”, and the results of student responses are used as part of teaching. The results of studentresponse before and after a lecture module show a clear trend away from extreme answers of“everything” (i.e., a sunset is priceless) and “nothing” (i.e., a sunset is free), and towards a betterunderstanding of public value and an answer that reflects “some dollar amount,” which is createdfrom the sum of the values expressed by each individual.

theincreased financial stability allowed students to explore their academic and career interests, studymore individually and in study-groups, and devote themselves to their engineering education byregularly meeting with faculty and staff outside the classroom.Scholarships offset rising gas prices for commuters and allow other students to live close tocampus. Students worked fewer hours (often 10 to 20 hours a week) compared to working full-time in community college. Students spent this additional time on campus and pursuedinternships and career opportunities in their field of study. In effect, S-STEM scholarshipsenabled students to treat their engineering education as a job, rather than having to work outsideof school to pay for their education.Our

Experienced entrepreneurs, serving as “Entrepreneurs or Innovators InResidence” to the college play a key role, enabling fellows to see the links between their academicpursuits and their entrepreneurial passions. This personal coaching has been extremely effectiveover the first three years of the fellowship program, kick-starting students into high levels ofengagement and ownership in charting their path. Students also meet with entrepreneurial peerleaders (typically junior or senior level undergraduate fellows) regularly to help navigate collegelife.During the winter interim, fellows start an
