management and entrepreneurial mindset. Technical knowledge isintertwined in the course through labs and projects, including Computer-Aided Design (CAD),3D printing and Arduino programming. The course adopts a flipped classroom approach [14].Most of the lecture time is dedicated to team discussion and groupwork. Labs are mainly usedfor hands-on prototyping and project building.Most students enrolled in this course are from aerospace engineering, chemical engineering,electrical engineering and mechanical engineering, along with a few students from other majorssuch as computer science and material science. Students work in multidisciplinary teams in bothlecture and lab throughout the semester. Two multidisciplinary team design projects are used.During

Though it is tempting to assume this cohortwould be more involved in volunteerism and engagement on campus, the reality is they are farless likely than the Millennials before them to volunteer and engage in extra-curriculars. Theone-off events and experiences that were so popular with Millennials are often seen assuperfluous to much of Gen Z, whose members would rather use their entrepreneurial, we-centric mindsets to address root problems at their source [5]. Furthermore, one-off events do notoffer authentic relationships to be built over time, a major source of gratification to Gen

There eight competencies arecreativity, entrepreneurial thinking, problem solving, conflict solving, decision making,analytical skills, research skills, and efficiency orientation. Although these authors claimed thatthey surveyed high qualified managers in transnational Automotive and Pharmaceuticalcompanies, it appears that their final categories of competencies are still based on traditional skillmodel proposed by Katz [23] with attention paid to new technology.From the perspective of employees, Hecklau, et al.

Steinkuehler &Duncan [28] investigated the mindset of Engineers playing learning games, conducting acomprehensive study based on the game World of Warcraft (WoW). The study provides a veryuseful result into how games incorporate habits which could also be translated to scientific habitsbenefitting users (Table 1).

The incorporation of what arecommonly termed “soft skills” in engineering curriculum, including teamwork, communication,ethics, and social consciousness, were soon considered a necessity. Engineering coursework hadalready garnered a reputation as being content-heavy, so innovative and unique
