Education Network(KEEN) and the National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance (NCIIA), with a broadmandate to undertake a first-time effort to instill the ideas of entrepreneurship in the minds of ourfaculty and students. Faced with the challenge of integrating entrepreneurship into an alreadyambitious engineering curriculum, we decided to focus our resources on activities that wouldbring together business and engineering students, two groups that normally do not interact intheir course of study, to work together on a design project.ChallengesWhile there is agreement around campus that a focus on entrepreneurship is both a timely and aworthy undertaking, there are significant obstacles to be overcome in order to achieve our goal.The

Our enterprise database was inadequate for this task,since its relational engine needed a linear scan of 100,000 records in the worst case. A well-known balanced tree algorithm with node numbering was well-suited, but implementationpresented some arcane technical problems. Help came from the Open Source softwarecommunity in the form of a production-quality embeddable database system with the requirednode-numbering feature.5Bearing in mind that our usage load estimates were rough, we set out to implement the serversoftware for scalability. We chose an architecture of communicating services that each provideda separate function. In the system’s original configuration
Incorporating BiomimicryAbstractTo better implement the curiosity aspect of entrepreneurial-minded learning (EML), biomimicrywas adopted in a tissue engineering course project to nourish curiosity. Biomimicry belongs tobioinspired design and has been reported to offer educators a way to engage students withsystems thinking and creative problem-solving, which can potentially inspire student curiosity.Students were required to use natural materials (from plants, insects, etc.) and naturalstructures/mechanisms in tissue-engineered product design to adopt the biomimicry principle. Atthe end of the project, an anonymous survey was conducted to assess the relationship betweenstudent curiosity and project experience. The curiosity-related assessment was based

Second, IRE looks to grow the local economy by creating newlocal business and providing current companies with highly skilled technical employees whohave significant integrated technical and professional knowledge and skills. This model has beenimplemented by offering a four-year engineering degree to high performing, local communitycollege graduates, allowing them to remain in northern Minnesota. The impact of the recruitingand retention projects will give incentive to prospective students to stay in northern Minnesota as

through auspices ofthe National Academies.backgroundThe practice of engineering is more than the application of scientific, mathematical, andtechnical knowledge to design, develop, build, and maintain devices, systems, structures, andprocesses. It is a creative endeavor with profound cultural, ethical, and social dimensions, andwith the great potential to do good or harm, however intentionally or unintentionally.While it may seem as though considerations of such non-technical aspects of engineering are arelatively recent concern, they have in fact long been on the minds of practitioners [1]. Indeed, aset of papers published in 1922 put forward some remarkably modern-sounding concepts.Alexander Graham Christie, a Johns Hopkins University

engineering education. Computational thinking is broaderthan programming and coding. Some describe computational thinking as crucial to engineeringproblem solving and critical to engineering habits of mind like systems thinking. However, fewstudies have explored how computational thinking is exhibited by children, and CTcompetencies for children have not been consistently defined. Hence developing andimplementing effective CT-related activities for children can be difficult. Therefore, exploringwhat computational thinking looks like for children is critical.Children can engage in, and learn to engage in computational thinking in both formal andinformal settings. In this study, we are interested in exploring what computational thinking mightlook like
