Entrepreneurship & Engineering Innovation

extracurricular activities that promise to cultivate anentrepreneurial mind-set and develop skills needed in this start-up world. Risk taking, in a way,has become the new critical thinking. It’s what colleges believe they need to teach for graduatesto meet the needs of today’s work force. For students, entrepreneurship offers the creativity andindependence that traditional careers seem to lack” 3,4.Integrating entrepreneurial skills and activities into the Engineering program may be one way torespond to the serious challenge of Engineering student retention, especially in the transitionbetween freshman and sophomore years5,6,7. It has been reported that students may decide toleave engineering if motivation for the required hard work is not provided via

. Also why allies are important in diversity/inclusion efforts. Simply put, awareness of the extent, complexity, and purpose of problem. I gained insight on topic from a white man's perspective. I gained confidence in having good balanced values towards underrepresented groups. I learned a lot from this experience about the prevalence of women being disenfranchised in the engineering environment and about what it means to have privileges as a white male, and what I can do to help. Whole new insight about how women feel, what things are inappropriate. I still have a lot I need to work on. Experience has opened my mind to a lot.

Using information provided by respondents, we investigated how views differ based on level of experience or knowledge associated with I&E as part of engineering education? 2. What role does the community think I&E should have as part of undergraduate engineering education? Engineering schools and departments are challenged to prioritize and find space for all of the competing foci, such as sustainability, global, green, research or civic engagement, that

Intersectionality studies disaggregate categories such as "underrepresented minority"and "women," which hide the experiences and stories of distinct groups such as Latino males andAfrican American females.

As Summer noted: I mean in order to innovate something new I feel like you have to have some type of goal in mind, I mean there has to be a purpose to everything to meet at least. Otherwise it’s not like a solution to anything, and I think that engineers try to solve problems usually. And if you don’t have a goal in mind why are you doing the project, you know?... And then also to see if it’s an actual possible thing we can do. I mean I think goals pretty much go hand in hand with innovation.While these students more thoroughly experienced the process of innovation, and to a lesserextent other-oriented elements of innovation
