And it was just, it wasn’t a whole, I, I wasn’t around a lot of people who, who were like mechanically minded I guess in high school.

Thereare several well-established pedagogical practices, project-based learning included, that focus onimproving content knowledge, communication, and collaboration, for example, but notnecessarily focus on improving effectual reasoning. To drive innovations, our engineeringgraduates should be prepared not only with strong soft and technical skills, but also with anentrepreneurial mind (Zhu, 2021).Entrepreneurial minded learning (EML) emphasizes seeking opportunities, pursuing innovation,and creating value.

was not TV. This was real. I felt grateful for when and where I was born. I have only known freedom, never known hunger, and always slept in a clean bed. But that was too often overshadowed by the realization of my remaining obligation to others less fortunate, especially the children of this world. Moreover, these years at Bell further solidified in my mind the importance of gaining an international perspective for the field of engineering. . . . It was then I experienced a real awareness that the science and engineering workforce needed to be regarded as more than a national resource. I now emphatically feel that global issues can only be solved by using global intellectual resources, and that the interdependency of
