Entrepreneurship & Engineering Innovation
. IntroductionEngineering innovation and technology entrepreneurship—whether by a single founderestablishing a new venture or a multidisciplinary team within a large industrial firm—areembedded in cultural, legal, and physical contexts that constrain, facilitate, and otherwiseinfluence the innovation process. Within any entrepreneurial context, assessing and managing risks are high priorities.When it comes to environmental hazards and other threats to health and human safety, we facethe challenges of optimizing potential benefits while minimizing possible negative outcomes andmaking a profit—a formidable task, indeed. In the case of potentially catastrophic or avoidablerisk, we may find that a particular product or system should not be developed or

After a short lecture (sometimesaccompanied by an in-class activity, see Table 1), student teams use the lab session to work ontheir weekly design task.

Cs that contribute to an entrepreneurial mindset: Curiosity, Connections, and Creating Value.The course objectives state that, as a result of Introduction to Disability Studies, students will  Demonstrate curiosity about how people with disabilities (deafness, autism, paralysis, etc.) experience the world and how those experiences challenge us to redefine, reconceptualize, and re/design for disability. Students will be able to answer questions like: How does disability studies help us understand the perspectives, motivations, and needs of others?  Make connections between their STEM work and the field of disability studies. Students will be able to answer questions like: How has science and technology

University of Dayton such as student-centered learning, active learning, co-teaching,problem/project based learning, entrepreneurial mindset learning, flipped classroom, etc.,are largely focused on undergraduate classes but not in graduate classes comparatively. Thispaper documents a teaching model where the homework, projects, activities, lectures andindependent studies are all integrated on a single platform (portfolio) in an endeavor tomotivate graduate students to practice sustainable learning (long-term learning) andpromote critical thinking skills. The author implemented this model for the first time in agraduate compressible flow aerodynamics class with the “portfolio” as a platform ofintegration. The paper also discusses the application of

Thus, an individuals’ way of experiencing a phenomenon will bedefined by a unique intersection of individual and environmental characteristics, and will alwaysbe incomplete.To illustrate this concept, we present the hypothetical, and much simplified, case of twoengineering students. The first engineering student, Philip, a senior in biomedical engineering,likes working across disciplinary boundaries and wants to change the world through human-centered design.

The process of developing the minorand assessing its core courses is described more fully in another research project presented atASEE 20175. The Innovation Pathways Minor (IPM) is for students who want to develop as innovatorsin an interdisciplinary context. This minor provides a core sequence of classes with opportunitiesto practice these skills, as well as elective credits for students to pursue their personal interests.This minor also fills a unique niche by helping students expand their entrepreneurial ideasthrough customer discovery and business model activities. At the end of the minor, students willhave a capstone opportunity to unite their

Organizational Innovation – Apply entrepreneurial thought to bring technically sound, scientifically based solutions to market.The Toronto model addresses two substantial problems found in the engineering leadershipliterature (Rottmann et al., 2015). First, by promoting an empirically grounded model, theseorientations provide a framework for educators to move away from the piecemeal manner ofeducating engineers in leadership (Graham, 2009). Second, this framework begins to model howengineers lead, not how to lead engineers. However, this work only

It should be noted that the three orientations can be used to understandboth leadership conceptions and behaviours.Leadership behaviours refer to observable actions taken by individual engineers that influencechange. Early career engineers may be demonstrating behaviours that others might interpret asleadership but that they might not see as leadership themselves. In order to examine leadershipbehaviors, we used Hartmann’s five engineering leadership themes for
