, implementing it at a large scalerequires reducing the associated costs significantly and being able to accommodate differenttypes of gas emission sources. Thus, there is still an urgent need to study this technology andimprove it.Microreactors are an emerging technology in chemical reaction engineering [7]. The high surfacearea to volume ratio is an important characteristic of the microreactor design. It reduces the massand heat transfer resistances resulting in superior mass and heat transfer rates, compared to largerreactors [8]. Microreactors easily and precisely control the flow and temperature conditionswhich results in a high potential for process intensification for several engineering applications.Microreactor technology is being explored for

Despite the presence of promising K-12 programs focused on teaching students innovation andentrepreneurially-minded skills, not enough is being done at the university level. Lack of fundingand trained personnel are plausible reasons.

Invention EducationAbstractTo develop a workforce that finds innovative solutions to society’s problems, researchers andpractitioners have combined pre-college STEM/STEAM curricula with strategies that explicitlyteach the invention process. In this study, we replicated and extended work on the developmentof an Inventive Mindset measure designed for use in evaluating children’s self-perceptions oftheir inventive capacities and the effectiveness of invention education programs. We alsoexamined the relations between children’s Inventive Mindset scores and identification withscience, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. The study included responses fromN=462 elementary and middle school aged students immediately prior to participation in

Overarching Learning Objectives for Introductory CoursesThe three introductory courses in innovation and engineering entrepreneurship offered at UIUCthrough the Technology Entrepreneur Center were developed to provide students with a varietyof academic pathways in which they could both better understand the campus’ entrepreneurialecosystem and available resources (e.g., funding, mentorship) as well as provide a setting inwhich students can build their creative confidence and sense of belonging within the ecosystem.Subsequently, the three courses described in this paper share certain formal learning objectives.However, each course provides different formative and summative assessments as well asvarying in-class content and activities.

Exposing students,particularly women, to growth mindset theory, close faculty interaction, and other supportnetworks will help build confidence.[9] The importance of self-efficacy for sustainableengineering studies emphasizes the role of intrinsic motivation and the need for students to beengaged in building a sustainability mindset from the outset of their education.[10]Mindsets and Attitudes about Engineering and TechnologyThe attitudes carried by engineers in their field and of technology
