define an entrepreneurial mindset(EM) [9]. Entrepreneurially minded learning (EML) activities, as championed by KEEN,combine problem‑based or project-based learning activities with student skills associated with anentrepreneurial mindset. For example, these additional skills might include integratinginformation from many sources to gain insight, conveying engineering solutions in economicterms, and identifying unexpected opportunities to create value. EML activities emphasize“discovery, opportunity identification, and value creation with attention given to effectualthinking over causal (predictive) thinking” [10].Within engineering and the KEEN framework in particular, an entrepreneurial mindset is not thesame as entrepreneurship.

Useful StrategiesAll students deserve an opportunity to fully participate in the diversity and inclusion activitieswithin a civil engineering classroom. However, many engineering students are introverted; theymay feel uncomfortable speaking aloud regarding a topic that is subjective or controversial.Further, students require adequate time to absorb the material and respond in a mindful manner.The following summarizes five

For example, the recent quiz featured an article about the Vale Damcollapse in Brazil. A good, discussion prompting question might be:Why did the Vale Dam collapse?This simple question is somewhat open ended and could allow for several acceptable answers(since the true cause was not known yet), such as improper design, shoddy construction, orinadequate maintenance. As students consider whether their peer’s answer is correct, follow-upquestions can be asked by the instructor:What role did engineers have in enabling or preventing the collapse?Who is to blame for

The course fuses engineering literacy with cognitive and affectiveknowledges and reflexivity and attempts to emulate Heywood’s ideal of “a liberal education thatenlarges the mind” rather than “the study of a range of disparate subjects that apparently have noconnection with one another” [5].This paper presents the author’s experience of incorporating historical, social, political, andeconomic lenses into the introductory engineering course by assigning team projects to addresschallenges of COVID-19 in refugee camps.The project assignment was intended to

With this example, she provided a series ofquestions that she and her peers ask when receiving feedback from users of the products theydevelop. So, I think every time we’ve received that feedback we have to say, ‘Is there an engineering change that we need to make? Do we have to inherently change the design?’ What is our burden to educate these physicians or provide better education to help them with their implant techniques to be more successful?

Through the research conducted here, the following objectiveshave been accomplished: 1. Examining the history of surveying and spatial data education in the U.S.In the early days of the U.S., surveying was central to the efforts of white settlers to drawboundaries on land that did not belong to them. As a result, colleges and universities heavilyemphasized surveying in their Civil Engineering programs. But as
