These works developed and elaborated on the elements of technological andengineering literacy that should be achieved by all Americans. In the time since 2000, theNAE has also produced The Engineer of 2020: Visions of Engineering in the NewCentury6,7. The Engineer of 2020 advocated an effort to clarify and establish engineers as“as broad-based technology leaders, in the mind of the public and prospective students.”Similarly, the NAE’s Changing the Conversation: Messages

arts through the studio-baseddesign pedagogy. In order to design technically feasible and socially acceptable products andservice, students combine the methods and tools from a variety of disciplines, such as designthinking (e.g., mind-mapping), engineering technology (e.g., Arduino), and cultural studies (e.g.,ethnography). In contrast to the focus on problem solving in typical engineering classrooms,teaching in PDI emphasizes problem finding. PDI students usually start their design projects bystudying the relevant objectives and constraints from rich and heterogeneous real-world context,such as the shortage of food and clear water in underdeveloped regions and the stagnation ofpublic schools in American cities. Students also critically

liberal education2 he argued, in a development ofKrupczak et als paper, that “the defining characteristic of liberal education was “enlargementof mind. This “enlargement” was achieved by the capacity to perceive inter-relationshipsbetween the areas that comprise “universal knowledge” as it is currently understood. Itfollows that consideration of the “product” (technological literacy) without consideration ofthe “process” (engineering literacy) is not a liberal education.”5 Using the model he hadpresented in the earlier paper (exhibit 3) he argued that the solution to engineering problems(the technology) required not only knowledge of engineering science and the mechanics ofmanufacturing but an understanding of the ways of thinking in such areas

These include: big thinker, ethical and courageous, masters of change, risk taker,mission that matters, decision-maker, uses power wisely, team builder and good communicator35, 36 . While this list of competencies was developed with an audience of engineers in mind,Simon Pitts and his colleagues took their list a step further by generating it in collaboration withprofessional engineers working in industry.

IntroductionThis paper addresses an observed shortcoming of university efforts towards innovation –particularly at land grant STEM-focused institutions. Specifically the observation is thatconsiderably more effort has been expended on actions towards the realization andcommercialization of ideas than has been invested in research on the actual ideation process,how it occurs in the minds of the ideators, as well as which conditions promote it. Thishypothesis is borne out by comparing university investments in ideation research to fundsappropriated for realization and commercialization.The synthesis presented in this paper focuses on

develops an entrepreneurial mindset as described by the KEEN framework.The overall strategy for incorporating entrepreneurial minded learning (EML) into the coreengineering curriculum may be seen in Figure 2. Part of this effort has been the modification ofthe first year engineering course sequence as described by Gerhart et al2. The logical next stepwas then to make curricular modifications that enhance the development of the entrepreneurialmindset in the sophomore year. Using KEEN funding, Lawrence Tech is taking this next stepthrough the development and institutionalization of a multidisciplinary, design studio course tobe taken during the second year of the engineering curriculum. This course builds on thefoundations of the first year and
