students, which are included among necessary entrepreneurial skill sets, andunderstand how and why these skill sets change over their undergraduate matriculation.Our research will report on an initial study of the impact of first-year engineering courses on thechanges in entrepreneurial mindsets of first year engineering students. Entrepreneurial mindset inour study is operationally defined as a more growth orientated mindset versus a fixed orientatedmindset. This operational definition and the accompanying mindset measurement instrument wasdeveloped and validated by Carol Dweck of Stanford University. Based on Dweck‟s researchresults we assume a growth mindset is a reasonable surrogate for a student engineer‟s creativeand innovative or
our thinking. Instead of permitting engineering educationto lag technology and society, “Should the engineering profession anticipate needed advancesand prepare for a future where it will provide more benefit to humankind?”[3]So the question becomes, how do we train engineers to be more entrepreneurially minded?What is an Entrepreneurially Minded Engineer? Page 22.244.2According to Dawn Tabat, Chief Operating Officer of Generac Power Systems (and a group ofthe company‟s engineering executives), Entrepreneurially Minded Engineers (EMEs) “act like aproduct manager within their engineering discipline”. In other words, “EMEs are not justworking on
on the inter-relationship between theory andpractical experimentation.It‟s commonly accepted that laboratory exercises are a critical component to developingengineering skills. Lab classes represent a significant portion of curricula of all engineeringdisciplines. Lab exercises in introductory courses are commonly designed to illustrate anddemonstrate known concepts or scientific laws. Students also learn practical skills associatedwith the measurements techniques and experience in the use of modern instrumentation. Othergoals of the lab experience are to sharpen observational skills, work in teams, and develop acapacity for independent learning by encouraging students to make self-directed inquires andexplorations. Research in how students

However, this isdecreasing as more graduates of the bachelor engineering programs enter the graduate programs.Typically it takes students

While the course evaluation form may be used in a variety of ways depending on theintentions of the instructor and the program with which s/he is associated, most instructorsidentify specific learning outcomes that should occur as a result of that particular course. No onecourse is expected to produced gains in all eleven a-k learning outcomes. Students rate theirdegree of learning along specified outcomes, marking “not applicable” on items not addressed inthe course. Instructors are given a semesterly report where they receive the averages of their classon these outcomes as well as more traditional measures of classroom effectiveness.

When the AI Lab was left as a shell ofits former self due to corporate rivalry, Richard decided to take things into his own hands andkeep his ideals alive by creating a new, UNIX-like operating system. Again, an act ofevolutionary selection ( a corporate raid) yielded innovation, and this innovation was based ontwo tactics often seen in evolutionary systems: mimicry and stigmergy. That GNU ( therecursively named operating system Stallman would develop out of his desire for a printerdriver) modeled itself on UNIX is not controversial, despite it‟s name: GNU‟s Not Unix. And

These contexts are largely consistent with the literature, but also revealsome research gaps that the engineering education community should think about addressing toimprove our education processes. In addition, the community can use our findings to raisequestions about test usage, introducing intentionality with test usage in engineering classrooms.ReferencesAbadi, M. G., Hurwitz, D.

We directly build on Zoltowski et al.’s[2] findings which suggest that engineering students experience human-centered design in sevencategorically discrete ways. Guided by this prior study, we seek to address the research question,“To what extent can we use post-course open-ended written reflection data to identifyengineering students’ ways of experiencing human-centered design?” The use of reflection datato categorize students’ ways of experiencing human-centered design is unique from othermethods that have extended Zoltowski et al.’s work but may offer a more accessible assessmentmodality for design instructors.
