learning modules based on the “Quantified Self” social movementAbstractTraditional engineering curriculum and coursework lacks entrepreneurial experiences for students.While most entrepreneurship program models utilize curriculum that is delivered in a businessschool collaboration, more recently engineering colleges have started promoting the idea thatEntrepreneurial-Minded Learning (EML) can be formalized within engineering education.Development of an entrepreneurial mindset is difficult while students are actively working on theirsenior projects, so additional experiential learning during the earlier levels of undergraduateeducation is needed. In this project, we set out to include EML in courses across engineeringprograms and
prerequisite. The pedagogical approach isproject-based, experiential learning, of the entrepreneurial mind-set distinct from minorsin business or engineering. Support for student lead entrepreneurial projects comes fromthe University’s Small Business Development Center, the Office of Technology Transfer, Page 11.32.3the Ben Franklin Technology Partners, the Keystone Innovation Zones (KIZ) ofPennsylvania and the NCIIA. As in the other experiential programs, the entrepreneurshipminor concludes with a two semester practicum. In 2005 the fourth year of our campuswide Student Entrepreneurship Competition (SEC), seven student teams were selected aswinners of small

overbearing; however, it is very true thathumanity’s future relies on the creative mind. As educators, we look forward to inspiring,motivating, and fostering students’ creativity. Most technology and engineering students tend toquickly focus on the technical aspects of a project, and design students tend to focus on usability,quality, innovation, and the aesthetics of products [2]. In this paper, we discuss our collaborativepractice to integrate these two tendency directions and inspire creativity in the practice.

’ science.Computing as... not scienceThe scientific nature of computer science was significantly criticized in the 1990s. McKeeargued that computer scientists are not honest about their work and they are “just acting likescientists and not actually doing science”. For instance, Brooks (1996) wrote that computerscience is a synthetic, engineering discipline. He also argued about the misnaming of computingas a science. Firstly, it leads computer scientists to accept a pecking order where theory isrespected to more than practice. Secondly, it leads them to regard the invention [INCOMPLETEthought]. Thirdly, it leads them to forget the users and their real problems. Fourthly, it directsyoung and brilliant minds towards theoretical subjects. Among the arguments

A favorite program is to have a panel of graduate students who have gonethrough the program address and answer the questions of the students in the ASAP class to “tellit as it really is”. In addition, engineers with advanced degrees are brought to the class to talk tothe students about engineers in industry, what the company is looking for in a hire, and howengineers with advanced degrees are used in their company. An additional topic that usuallystretches the mind of the students is to have them write a minimum 5 page paper on their careerand life
