By social context, wemean, for this study, the gendered and racialized contexts in environmental work. In fact, wewould expect these contexts to come into play even in the selection of their major—climateeffects, public environmental discourse, and environmental policy all have gendered and racialsocial components that frame students’ matriculation into the major as much as their journeysthrough and beyond it.

The goal of this work is to empower students to tell the story of their growth intoentrepreneurially minded engineers. Through connecting, reflecting upon, and constructing theirunique stories, students begin to see themselves as engineers who have developed and willcontinue to develop an entrepreneurial mindset to create value for others.

IntroductionThis paper addresses an observed shortcoming of university efforts towards innovation –particularly at land grant STEM-focused institutions. Specifically the observation is thatconsiderably more effort has been expended on actions towards the realization andcommercialization of ideas than has been invested in research on the actual ideation process,how it occurs in the minds of the ideators, as well as which conditions promote it. Thishypothesis is borne out by comparing university investments in ideation research to fundsappropriated for realization and commercialization.The synthesis presented in this paper focuses on

Examples are provided below. words for engineers: “Your work is more than plans and specifications. Your work is more than creating a design for a client. Your work impacts people, communities, and the landscape. You have a responsibility to be aware of the negative impacts of the work you engage in.” A reminder to keep community in mind in every step of the process…. One element from Chief Albert’s presentation that I personally found most impactful was the list of his Tribe’s values.

Part of this effort has been the modification ofthe first year engineering course sequence as described by Gerhart et al2. The logical next stepwas then to make curricular modifications that enhance the development of the entrepreneurialmindset in the sophomore year. Using KEEN funding, Lawrence Tech is taking this next stepthrough the development and institutionalization of a multidisciplinary, design studio course tobe taken during the second year of the engineering curriculum.

The study employed two instruments to assess transformativelearning: the Learning Activity Survey (LAS) and the Transformative Outcomes and ProcessesScale (TROPOS). The LAS assessed whether and to what extent the first-year engineeringexperience has led to a perspective transformation in the students. TROPOS evaluated students'overall transformative learning outcome, focusing on four subscales: social support, attitudetowards uncertainty, criticality, and transformative outcomes. Analysis of the LAS datafacilitated the categorization of students into four

As Goldschmidt says, design sketching “isnot merely an act of representation of a pre-formulated image; in the context we deal with, it is,more often than not, a search for such an image.”5 The very process of creating a sketch plays anactive role in shaping thoughts and ideas. The activity of sketching involves a process ofconstructive critical questioning. The placement of each mark and line involves

The key questions facing the college centered around how to identify and realize theopportunities that this growth was creating. With this in mind, when the work on the nextgeneration strategic plan began in late 2006, inclusiveness and widespread engagement ofstakeholders were defining goals for the planning process. Reflecting this goal of including alllevels of faculty and staff as well as students, outside academic and industrial experts andalumni,approximately hundreds of people across 25 continentshave been engaged in the preparation ofthe

If I were designing acourse from scratch I would strongly consider using this as the thread through the course as theauthors did,” [17], and plenty of other supportive but not-ready-as-is comments exist on the cardpages. Ultimately, engineering faculty already feel the pressure of having to teach too manytopics within each course, and many faculty members have trouble finding the time toincorporate entrepreneurially-minded learning into their courses [16].
