That summer I attended the KEENIntegrating Curriculum with Entrepreneurial (ICE) workshop from August 8-11, 2018. ICEworkshops connect problem-based active and collaborative learning to the development of theKEEN Entrepreneurial Mindset (EM) [8]. Part of the EM skillset is to have Curiosity,Connections, and Creating Value (3 C’s) [8]. As part of the ICE workshop, I proposed using my“Mechanical Energy Systems Engineering” course to develop this EM

Computing into CS CurriculaInstruction ModulesThe modules were designed to help students develop an entrepreneurial mindset [11]. Theentrepreneurial mindset is a broad term for how students grow and change into the computerscientists of the future, with a mindset focused on creating value for society in a broad way.Creating value includes helping students develop character traits that will make them ethicaldecision makers in the future [12]. To address this goal, the modules were designed to help thestudents build strong habits and skills about complex issues based on the following:1. Curiosity: This involves instilling a sense of inquisitiveness in students about the ever- evolving world of work, encouraging them to adopt a critical approach
accidents [12].Organizers must also carefully set dates and times for their programs. Due to safety concerns, itis important to consider students’ exam schedules, as there is a higher risk of travel accidentswhen a student is sleep-deprived, worried about academics, or rushing between classes [12].Pitch and innovation competitions, hackathons, and other events allow participants todemonstrate their entrepreneurial skills and mindsets in solving problems and carrying out ideasin front of an audience or a set of judges for evaluation. The impact of COVID-19 has forcedmany of these events to turn virtual, negatively impacting the importance of having a liveaudience [3]. The pandemic also affected organizers by creating challenges such as losing

DiscussionAt Rowan university an eight semester sequence of courses is conducted known as EngineeringClinics. It emphasizes a hands-on approach to learning, is integrated with supporting coursework, creates a multidisciplinary community consisting of students working in teams, and 3reinforces a value based engineering by encouraging entrepreneurial mindset. The course isrequired for all engineering majors. Students and faculty from all six engineering departmentswork side
: Engineering identity formation is not simply the result of technical knowledgeacquisition, but also that of enculturation. Both processes are intricately linked to the places (i.e.,physical infrastructures) in which they unfold such as laboratories, classrooms, communal areas,and other engineering spaces on a university campus. Places act as a conduit for engineeringenculturation, as it is within these settings that students are inundated with value-laden symbols& representations, participate in engineering activities and rituals, and are expected to adopt andembody dominant engineering mindsets and attitudes towards technical problem solving.Recognizing that the physical infrastructure of a place can serve as a tangible manifestation ofbroader

It can also be used toalign these connections with broader frameworks such as ABET’s student learning outcomes [8]and the KEEN entrepreneurial mindset [9].To pilot the framework at the course level, we used it as a tool for iterating materials in arequired 300-level aerospace controls course with the goal of incorporating human-centereddesign

In addition, future course deliverywill also include a greater emphasis on the VIC as opposed to the technical design componentwhich will be completed solely in the technical design course. Finally, the authors look forwardto continuing to participate in the research around stakeholder empathy development in CivilEngineering design.Bibliography[1] H. Zhu and B. E.

Concept maps are visual representations of knowledge and connections between topics. EM encompasses a multitude of essential skills, including the inclination to discover, evaluate, and exploit opportunities, all of which are critical for developing students into well-rounded engineers. oncept maps are tools used in both learning and assessment within broad K-20 academicCcontexts. They aid in student learning by developing non-linear connections of acquired ideas over time. In engineering education, leaders in EM scholarship have demonstrated the impact

The Tower Bridge will housemilitary ordnance and allow passage of military ships through its channel defined by a 12” x 12”cross-sectional area. The iconic London Bridge is a classic example of Tower Bridges. It consistsof two Towers connected by platform(s) that allow for transporting land vehicles and cargo whileships and other aquatic vehicles pass through or under the platform. In the case of LondonBridge a drawbridge swings upwards to allow for boat traffic [7].

In the first class meeting, students first watched the 21-min 1999 Nightline episode,“Deep Dive” [3], where members of product design firm, IDEO, redesigned a traditionalshopping cart in five days. After watching the video, students discussed design strategies thatthey saw IDEO team members using, while also pointing to key elements of IDEO’s workplaceculture that help support and sustain high levels of innovation at IDEO. Creativity heuristics anddesign mindsets were also introduced that included lateral thinking [4], analogical reasoning andproductive thinking [5] as ways to stave off limits to creative thinking like idea fixation [6] [7].

Each of the theoretical conceptsin our roadmap diagram, as well as how they were applied in practice through our project arediscussed in detail below.Application of Theoretical Principles in PracticeDesign ThinkingIn the 1970s, the principles of design thinking began to emerge. Herbert Simon, in his 1969 book,“The Sciences of the Artificial,” described design as a way of thinking. The term design thinkingwas coined by David Kelley in 1978 to encapsulate the thought processes and mindsets relevantto the design process. In 1992, scholar Richard Buchanan discussed design thinking as a sciencethat should be aimed at integrating multiple
communicating ideas to an audience. Inventioneducation provides a platform for students to identify real-world challenges and devise novel andinnovative solutions, fostering a sense of self-efficacy. Encouraging invention, innovation, andan entrepreneurial mindset helps students become more self-determined and contributes tostudents’ acquiring the skills needed to shape their own future [1].Students’ sense of belonging, psychological safety, and decision-making processes about theirfuture often align with their interests and curiosity, but anxiety can negatively influence theseperceptions. The aim of this study is to examine the constructs of interest and anxiety, withrespect to science and math and specifically to inventing. Prior research efforts in

Translating that into the workplace, I came in with an understanding that I should be checking with my customers and talking with them often. Understanding their needs, understanding how their needs may change, understanding more about how I can be meeting their needs with my technical solutions that I might be working on.Dominik observed that the EWB experience nurtured an entrepreneurial mindset. I think also there is an entrepreneurial thread with EWB alum, where a lot of us find over the course of our first 5 years or 10 years in the engineering industry, that there aren't
