of Statics topics [3]. Ramming and Phillips found thatusing hands-on labs in just the first two semesters of implementation resulted in a slight increasein homework averages and exam grades [4]. Additionally, hands-on models as learning aids inStatics are not just limited to a single topic [5]-[7]. The use of a model for the activity developedin the current paper also aims to enhance students’ 3D spatial skills, which are known to be animportant factor in the success of engineering students across many disciplines [8], [9].The activity was also meant to foster entrepreneurial-minded learning (EML) and help developthe entrepreneurial mindset in students. An entrepreneurial mindset consists of three keyelements: curiosity, connections, and

This approach enhances the overall educational experience, better preparingstudents to contribute to the progress and applications of nanoengineering across diverse fields.With that objective in mind, our focus was directed towards enhancing the instruction of theAFM. AFM is an indispensable tool for researchers and engineers in nanotechnology, offeringexceptional resolution in material visualization through the interaction of a tip with the surfacematerial [6–8]. Nonetheless, the images generated by the AFM may not accurately represent thematerial surface due to the existence of image artifacts

and innovative solutions [1]. To effectivelyprepare engineering students for navigating the demands and nuances of the workplace whilebeing mindful of their users’ needs, it is necessary to train them to consider the design problemthrough both technical and human-centered perspectives [2]. Previous work noted universities’increasing tendency to incorporate HCD in existing engineering programs and to use it as anothermeans of supporting students’ achievement of desirable learning outcomes [2]. Our efforts tocontribute to this educational trend led to the development of an educational summer camp meantto expose high school students to a team-based human-centered design task.BackgroundIn this work-in-progress paper, we document the second

These values, beliefs and assumptions are alsoinformed by historical institutional structures and cultures. Kunda [32] explores the roots,rhetoric and reality of embedded corporate engineering culture and argues “the development ofstrong corporate culture is the latest stage in the historical development of managerial ideologytoward an emphasis on normative control - the desire to bind the employees' hearts and minds tothe corporate interests.” Kunda undertook an ethnographic investigation of the engineeringdivision of a tech company regarded to have

Core constraints often get in the way – engineering curriculaleave little room for new courses beyond the fundamentals, semester timeline constraints do notoffer enough time for entrepreneurs to develop and test their ideas, new applied or experientialcourses face faculty headwinds, and “acting” like an entrepreneur requires cross-departmentlearning, like understanding financial viability and societal demand – typically understood throughthe lens of social sciences. This paper describes a new four-year cohort-based fellowship toovercome those constraints in order to develop and apply entrepreneurial mind and skill-sets tonew engineering applications.
