In this paper, we describe our research methodology in detail, from the study’s design to data collection, analysis, and triangulation of multiple data sources. This work contributes to the literature on the use of the ethnographic approach in engineering education research and offers a practical example that demonstrates how these approaches can improve our understanding of novel and emerging pedagogies.Keywords: Ethnography, Triangulation, Pedagogical Practices, Story-Driven LearningMotivation The ethnographic approach, rooted in anthropology and sociology, is a qualitativeresearch method designed to comprehensively understand phenomena as they

Mindset, Engineering, Engineering Technology1. IntroductionThe National Science Foundation (NSF) funded FLiTE scholarship program [1] at WesternCarolina University (WCU) aims to provide opportunity for engineering and engineeringtechnology students with financial need to build qualities of the entrepreneurial mindset that maycontribute to their value as future professionals or to their launch of technology startupbusinesses. The program brings together student scholars from across disciplines in a vertically-and horizontally-integrated learning community to engage in technology invention ideationsupported by and mentored through interactions with business leaders, subject matter experts,and campus resources.The NSF grant which supports the FLiTE

the End: Introducing a Final Exam Problem on the First ClassMeeting to Foster Curiosity and Engagement Throughout the SemesterintroductionThe Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN) promotes an Entrepreneurial Mindset(EM) consisting of 3 Cs: curiosity, connections, and creating value [1]. It is claimed thatinstilling students with EM will improve their learning outcomes and career readiness [2], [3].Recent research has shown that EM can be applied to Engineering Technology (ET) coursework,with promising results [4], [5], [6].The motivation for this study was to examine whether activities based on EM would improve theperceived weak aspects of an existing junior-level mechanical engineering technology (MET)class on finite element

This concept comes in agreement with the definition ofProject-based learning (PBL), which was defined by Barrows and Tamblyn as: The learning thatresults from the process of working towards understanding or resolving a problem [1].

On the other hand, entrepreneurship enables students to learn how to spot, evaluate, andexplore opportunities, build a prototype, and test it to design a project that satisfies clients' needsand aesthetic preferences. Unfortunately, educational institutions and researchers lag, particularlywhen integrating an entrepreneurial mindset with green building. Thus, this study emerged toovercome this contemporary interdisciplinary challenge and prepare green entrepreneurs and T-shaped engineers.PURPOSE OR GOAL: This study aims to prepare future green entrepreneurs and T

Throughcollaboration and a shared mission to infuse an entrepreneurial mindset (EM) into undergraduateengineering education, KEEN has cultivated this shared mission with more than 55 partnerinstitutions across the United States [15]. Each of these schools are committed to supplementingthe technical skills being taught in the classroom with a mindset that focuses on fosteringcuriosity, connections, and creating value – “the 3 C’s”. The KEEN framework, as shown inTable 1, seeks to describe the beneficial student outcomes that entrepreneurially-minded learningcan bring to engineering undergraduates. Examples of these benefits include the ability torecognize opportunities to create personal, economic and societal

Additionally, hands-on models as learning aids inStatics are not just limited to a single topic [5]-[7]. The use of a model for the activity developedin the current paper also aims to enhance students’ 3D spatial skills, which are known to be animportant factor in the success of engineering students across many disciplines [8], [9].The activity was also meant to foster entrepreneurial-minded learning (EML) and help developthe entrepreneurial mindset in students.

This4-week project was to design a snowmaking system for a local ski resort. Our hypothesis was thatusing a real-world project can promote students’ curiosity in problem-solving, help students makeconnections between the knowledge they learned in classroom and the problem, and encouragestudents to apply this knowledge to create values for our communities, which are the 3Cs of EMs.To test this hypothesis, we organized a field trip and used teaching techniques such as Jigsaw inaddition to traditional lecturing

Much of this disengagement is attributed to mindsets ([2]: centrality of military andcorporate organizations, uncritical acceptance of authority, technical narrowness, positivism andthe myth of objectivity) and ideologies ([1]: technical-social dualism, depoliticization,meritocracy) that create a socio-technical divide that encourages many students to marginalizesocial issues related

Furthermore, engineering professionals of the future require more than just knowledge oftechnical design solutions to help address the grand challenges of the future of work at the human-technology frontier. Equally important to consider are the employee populations affected by theincreasing incorporation of robots into the workplace (e.g., social justice and equity implicationsof technology-induced obsolescence), entrepreneurial skills to bring innovation to practice (in2021 alone, more than $17 billion was poured into venture capital-backed robotic startups [5]),and the need to address the user experience through adaptive design of the human-robot
