Similarly, the applicants selected are those they have a pre-existinginterest in engineering and a desire to learn more about the topic. To that end, the module shouldbe implemented in settings involving a pool of students with diverse interests so as to better gageits effectiveness.By implementing the modules twice, slight revisions and improvements to the material andactivities were made. In general though, the content remained constant from 2011 to 2012.

Microfluidic devices manipulate fluids using channels with height or width at a micro- or © American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 2023 ASEE Midwest Section Conferencesub-millimeter scale. One of the most striking and promising applications of microfluidics is tocreate lab-on-a-chip (LoC) environments in which full laboratory-scale procedures can occur on afootprint smaller than a notecard. LoC devices can be used for detecting and manipulating specifictypes of cells, creating point-of-care diagnostic devices, and developing drugs [3,4

BackgroundThe entrepreneurial mindset (EM), defined as an “inclination to discover, evaluate, and exploitopportunities” [2], is a key focus of the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN), aconsortium of over 50 engineering schools aimed at fostering entrepreneurial thinking inengineering students. Central to this effort is the Entrepreneurially Minded Learning (EML)educational framework, which is founded on the 3C principles of curiosity, connections, andcreating value[3], [4]. While EML has been successfully implemented in design courses, open-ended assignments, and laboratory experiences[5], these approaches often require extensive classtime and significant instructor feedback, limiting their applicability in core engineering courses.To
