“The 3 C’s” - curiosity, connections, and creating value. Specificexample behaviors of curiosity, connections, and creating value as described by KEEN may beseen in Figure 1​2​. The campus wide effort at LTU to foster an entrepreneurial mindset in our graduates isfocused on three areas. These are faculty engagement, curriculum development, and studentengagement. With regard to curriculum development, we intentionally weave a continuousthread of entrepreneurially minded learning through our core engineering curriculum. In thefreshman year, we lay the foundation of entrepreneurial mindset development in our EGE 1001Introduction to Engineering Design Projects. EGE 1001 is an active and engaging course thatdemonstrates the many aspects of

Other than #1 and #6,they are basically the same. In particular, both include construction of modeling as well asuse of simulation tools to test scientific theories and predict outcomes of engineering designs.While the national framework has been informed by learning theories that students learnbetter if they are engaged in activities closely resembling the way scientists and engineersthink and work, implementing constructivist ST and ET activities in the classroom remains achallenge

of formal engineering entrepreneurship programs is likely to increase inthe near future. To meet the demand of developing entrepreneurially minded engineers,engineering institutions “will need to keep pace by offering opportunities to acquireentrepreneurial knowledge and experience” (Besterfield-Sacre et al., 2012). Considering theemergent state of engineering entrepreneurship education, the assessment of entrepreneurshipprograms is important and necessary to identify best practices for teaching entrepreneurship toengineering students.Although investigation of the impacts of engineering entrepreneurship is a relatively new field ofstudy, investigation of a range of student outcomes has already begun to emerge.

conclusions based onthe data that emerged from the study.Rationale and Literature Review:A study conducted by three researchers with the Center for International Business Education andResearch found that almost 40% of U.S. companies surveyed missed international businessopportunities because of a lack of internationally competent personnel. Given that 95% ofconsumers live outside of the United States, it is important for students to gain internationalexperience (Daniel, Xie, & Kedia, 2014). With those numbers in mind, the National Academy ofEngineering states that a core need for engineers is to be able to work with a diverse,multinational, and multidisciplinary workforce. Therefore, engineering colleges must developstrategies that provide global

By setting up STEM programs offeredspecifically to young women, young minds are given an opportunity to get hands on experienceas to some of the duties of what a career in engineering could entail, helping clear awayconfusion regarding the field. Programs like these would also offer a kind of support systembetween fellow students and the teacher, helping encourage young women to stay involved in thefield. This paper describes such a program implemented in a University in Louisiana. Theprogram employs female students currently attending an engineering technology program at auniversity to teach young women from neighboring

On the one hand, the scarcity of previously conducted research on thistopic has opened a niche for this type of work. On the other hand, studying the region’s rapidsocio-economic transformations may shed some light regarding the vital role of women in non-Western contexts, particularly when it comes to encouraging participation in traditionally male-dominated fields.Attracting “every young mind to engineering” is, for UNESCO, closely related to achieving theMillennium Development Goals

The course has many goals, chief among them to promote awareness of students withID on campus, dispel misconceptions about the abilities of these students, and to promote aninterest in STEM fields for all students involved. Persons with disabilities are vastlyunderrepresented in engineering disciplines and people with ID experience unemploymentgreater than 60% [8]. With this in mind, we designed this course to both promote an interest inSTEM for all students involved, and we also introduced the idea of self-employment by way ofentrepreneurship as another avenue toward employment and self-determination.Undergraduate students in this course came from several different STEM fields includinginformation systems, business
