The entrepreneurial mindset is defined throughthree main themes: Curiosity, Connections and Creating Value. The COE is working toform Engineers who are curious about our ever changing world, and the relationshipbetween it and the rapid advance of technology. Such curiosity will lead to newdiscoveries that can benefit society. By teaching our students to connect information, andideas from disparate sources to their own concepts, new insights will emerge. To educatestudents to meet the demands of a changing world we must also teach them to seekdiscoveries and solutions that create value for themselves, their families, their employersand society in

sanitation crisisAbstract:According to the WHO, 2.5 billion people lack access to proper sanitation resources.1 Integral tothis alarming statistic is the absence of sanitation technology. Current engineering initiativeshave responded to this challenge with toilet fairs and competitions showcasing cutting-edgetechnologies in the sanitation sector. That is, engineers have often approached this sanitationcrisis as well as other world problems from a technocentric perspective―the philosophy thatconsiders technology as capable of solving human problems.2 Technocentrism speaks to thecurrent outlook of engineering education. We as engineering students are trained to design andbuild technical solutions for world problems. Furthermore, this focus within
