The department introduced a new required integrated design sequence forthe first, second, and third-year students [3], [4]. The new design sequence complements theexisting year-long, industry-sponsored senior design experience.

Education for Engineers.For decades the business of ideas and creating startups was relegated to the business schools withengineers coming in to just complete the creative part of the business or to create the MinimumViable Product or MVP. But for the last decade or so, we have seen a proliferation of engineeringschools offer entrepreneurship education. In the United States, many faculty and engineeringstudents act as the entrepreneurial lead and participate in the Innovation Corps programs offeredby NSF [1]. This has been successful in promoting start-ups originating from universities and ledby students, faculty and post-doctoral fellows, who are trained using the Lean Launchpad method.[2] In order to replicate this model in India, we embarked on

While sharing anessential emphasis on the foundational importance of identifying elements and relationshipsbetween those elements, varying definitions reflect the vocabulary and priorities of differentdisciplines. Recent comprehensive definitions aimed at
