. IntroductionBuildings are a major consumer of energy in the United States. A large percentage of thisconsumption is accounted for by the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) needs ofthe building. Students and entry level engineers in this field need to have a firm understandingof energy mechanisms and processes specific to building systems. This includes new renewableenergy and energy efficiency technologies. They also need to be familiar with a constantlychanging and growing list of subsidiary knowledge; such as construction principles, advancedcontrol systems, state and federal energy standards, and new professional certifications.Over the last several years the author has worked with entry level and experienced HVACengineers as a Student Branch

Instead of permitting engineering educationto lag technology and society, “Should the engineering profession anticipate needed advancesand prepare for a future where it will provide more benefit to humankind?”[3]So the question becomes, how do we train engineers to be more entrepreneurially minded?What is an Entrepreneurially Minded Engineer?

determining their persistence in engineering careers 4.Largely unexplored, however, is the role of the subconscious in determining persistence inengineering majors and careers – this is the domain of implicit cognition.Explicit and implicit cognition are related but distinct concepts 5. Explicit cognition includesconscious choices, judgments, and declarations (e.g. “I believe that men and women are equallygood at math.”). In contrast, implicit cognition operates without conscious awareness or control,and mediates thought, feeling, and action (e.g., 6-9). Implicit attitudes (e.g. “Math is good.”) andstereotypes (e.g. “Engineers are male.”), along with self-concept (e.g. “I am male.”) interact withone another in the prediction of science, technology
