American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021Implementation of a Module to Increase Engineering Students' Awareness of Unconscious BiasIntroductionThe engineering discipline has developed a culture which values objectivity and empiricallydriven decision making, and these empirically driven methods are focused on in engineeringeducation. However, as humans, engineers engage in activities, even engineering activities, in away that is influenced by their personal beliefs, values, worldview, and background. Thisdiversity of viewpoints is often cited as
workshops were designed to help students think more creatively in their class projectsand practice a growth mindset [14] through short exercises demonstrating cognitive biases,barriers, and traps that prevent people from finding creative, novel solutions to problems.Thereby, we hope that students would be less likely to fall into these traps. According to a recentstudy by Burnette et al. [15], students in a growth mindset intervention, relative to the control,reported greater entrepreneurial self-efficacy and task persistence on their main class project andimprovement in their academic and career interests. Reducing the negative effect of the cognitivebiases, barriers and traps requires deliberate and repeated practice of CPS techniques. Althoughwe

The impact of these activities was assessed via surveys andobservation.The survey implemented was a slightly expanded version of a survey designed to assess theengineering student entrepreneurial mindset [4]. This survey was based on multiple traits ofengineering students with an entrepreneurial mindset, including altruism, empathy, belonging,participation, and more. Questions were categorized by their relation to each of these traits.Some course-specific short-answer questions related to the course were added, but quantitativeportions of the survey considered herein were
program's initial role was to provide a generalist viewpoint on engineering, particularly for those undergraduates who had an entrepreneurial bent. The idea was to provide a degree program suitable for someone who would need to know knowledge across engineering disciplines, but not to senior level in all disciplines. Although the program had some students graduating each year, it was becoming somewhat stagnant by 2007 when an effort was made to begin a rejuvenation project. The working team of two faculty, one Mechanical Engineering faculty and one Computer Science faculty (first author of this report) examined both the market need for generalist engineering (prompted by The Engineer of 2020) and the

Improve Student Engagement and Enhance the Curriculum of Engineering EducationAbstractIn February of 2019, the authors convened a workshop to explore ways to improve student engagement inengineering education. The two-day workshop assembled an uncommon range of stakeholders includingprofessional engineers, engineering faculty, psychologists, anthropologists, pedagogy and educationalscientists, students, curriculum developers, entrepreneurial evangelists, members of the diplomaticcommunity and representatives of industry. Collectively we sought to share existing approaches toimproving student engagement in order to discern what works and what does not. Uncovering strategies toimprove student engagement has meant

These individuals desire to apply and develop technical competencies and be known as experts. • General Management (GM). Individuals with this career anchor desire to assume positions of managerial responsibility. Aptitudes and skills most closely associated with this anchor include high levels of motivation, interpersonal competence, analytical and financial skills, and emotional competence. This career anchor is also the most often espoused career anchor because of positive public perceptions of management. • Entrepreneurial

The instruction sheet was modified to forbid the use of the instruction sheet as construction material. 2. A barter policy was implemented to encourage an entrepreneurial mindset. Teams could barter with other teams for project materials. 3. The Rubik’s cube was replaced with a wooden block (3¼”W x 3¼”D x 2½”H) topped with a wireless doorbell to prevent use of the Rubik’s Cube as a structural member in a team’s design. The addition of the doorbell allowed us to define two modes of failure (described later). 4. Instructions sheets, supplies and/or tools were withheld until after the oral briefing to

Although most students at this institutionparticipate in experiential learning, the framework aims to provide students with richer, moremeaningful experiences through intentional engagement and reflection. Through several informalconversations, both students and employers have expressed the need for students to reflect andbe able to better communicate the value of their experiences in relation to their technical skillsand career aspirations. This point is reinforced by recent industry reports which emphasize thedifficult time employers have in finding

The first update is to replace theoutdated measure examples and add MERCII evaluation tools into the manual once extensivevalidity and reliability evidence has been collected. Other planned updates include addingdifferent vetted and reputable evaluation tools from various sources, i.e., TEEC approved tools.ERCs have a different emphasis on specific evaluation categories and research interest throughevaluation. Examples of such categories include identity, entrepreneurial mindset, or sense ofbelonging. This approach will be taken to crowdsource possible additional measures.Evaluator ToolboxThe evaluator toolbox is

Daniel Pink [10]brought this issue to attention in his work on creativity; in this, he noted that by identifying salientchallenges that need to be addressed but are typically overlooked, owners will realize that theirorganizations can become transformative and morecompetitive.

Oneaspect of the entrepreneurial approach to modern innovation is that top-down governance often lagsbehind it, and technology entrepreneurs sometimes seek to utilize this gap (Maynard & Garbee, 2019).Some of the attributes of the innovative culture that focuses on new technologies include experimentation,risk-taking and collaboration (Delbecq &Weiss, 2000; Harris & Alter, 2014).
