Theintent of the entrepreneurial approach is not to graduate students who will start their ownbusinesses (although some of the engineering alumni have already done so), but to motivate andcreate value for themselves and their employer that benefits society by developing theirentrepreneurial mindset [1], [2], [3], [4].Since CoE does not offer any entrepreneurial courses and system

and pedagogical reforms to create learning environments that are conducivefor the attainment of 21st century skills such as innovativeness, teamwork, communication,problem-solving and creativity. In engineering, among other initiatives, colleges and schoolshave leveraged entrepreneurship education programs (EEPs) to instill some of these needed skillsin graduates. Although these EEPs differ in size, structure, pedagogical approaches, andcurriculum, they generally focus on fostering entrepreneurial mindsets and behaviors, as well asteaching fundamental business content.The development of EEPs in engineering colleges and universities has led to the creation ofengineering entrepreneurship as a new area of inquiry in engineering education

Entrepreneurship & Engineering Innovation

EntrepreneurshipIntroduction:The University of Mount Union is a small, private, liberal arts institution located in the MidwesternUnited States. At the time of this work, The Engineering Department offered ABET-accreditedundergraduate degree programs in mechanical and civil engineering, with approximately 130students majoring in one of these disciplines. Based on alumni surveys, approximately 85% ofengineering graduates from Mount Union are hired into industry positions. For this reason, “thedevelopment of essential business skills” was established as one of the program’s Four Pillars ofExceptional Engineering Education (Fig. 1). Further, entrepreneurship was identified as animportant business skill, because the benefits of integrating the entrepreneurial mindset into

These were introduced in the context of the engineering design process. Part of the ABETdefinition [2] of engineering design includes “... examples of possible constraints include …sustainability…”. The goal of this approach is to include sustainability as a constraint right nextto manufacturability, usability, cost, etc. so students see it as just another thing they need toconsider and not an extra requirement of sorts.

This approach was created from the foundation of the KernEntrepreneurship Education Network (KEEN) entrepreneurial mindset focusing on the 3 C’s;curiosity, connections, and creating value [1]. While many programs utilize UGTAs inengineering or other curriculums, few have done so at an entire college scale spanning both on-campus and online courses or focused on the growth and mentorship of the UGTAs themselves.The goal of the Fulton UGTA program is to provide UGTAs with the motivation to create newvalue in the classroom that wouldn’t otherwise be available and promote the

Servicelearning projects are well documented within higher education, including within engineering viaestablished programs as EPICS [2, 3] and Engineers Without Borders [4, 5], and areimplemented with the goal of developing a positive mindset toward service learning. Similarly,the concept of incorporating the entrepreneurial mindset [6, 7] into engineering education hasresulted in project-based service learning experiences.
