engineering student from Maine attending OlinCollege and will be graduating in May of 2020. I chose Olin for the community, but also for theirpassionate mantra, “Engineering starts with people and ends with people.” This mantra painted anew picture of engineering for me as I had previously believed engineering was about usingmath to make cool things. In fact, I originally wanted to be an engineer to continue my passionfor robotics that I had developed over 9 years on a robotics team. But, this mantra created analmost invisible itch in the back of my mind that has slowly grown into the driving factor of mebecoming an engineer.My first real experience with people in engineering was my second semester at Olin in a classcalled Engineering for Humanity

communication has beenintegrated into some of these courses, but has often played a subordinate role to writingpedagogy [18]. A truly integrated engineering and oral communication course has not previouslybeen thoroughly assessed.Complimenting previous work in CXC, identity-based motivation theory describes motivationand goal pursuit, explaining when and how individuals’ identities motivate them [19], [20]. Thetheory suggests that people prefer to make sense of situations and act in identity-congruent waysconsistent with their self-perceptions. This happens in a context specific manner, where thecontext shapes what identities come to mind. It is reasonable to suspect that offering students acontext that connects communication skills to their

During thisproblem identification phase, Ms. Green had the idea of building a tiny house in mind and wasworking on a proposal for the grant that would ultimately support the project. However, sheintentionally did not propose the specific idea to students. Instead, she led students through aseries of exercises in which they identified and researched various problems within theircommunity, including housing scarcity. Observing students’ genuine interest in the problem ofhousing scarcity, Ms. Green arranged for the class to meet with a potential “client”, anAmericorps member who worked at the school as part of the MakerVista program.

With this in mind, the School of Biomedical Engineering at Colorado State Universitysought to improve the 100-level Introduction to Biomedical Engineering course (BIOM-101).This high enrollment (approximately 150 student) course is required for all undergraduatestudents pursuing a biomedical engineering major or minor and is typically taken the first fall ofenrollment in the degree program. The course has been offered every fall for the past seven yearsand, until 2016, was almost exclusively lecture-based with little to no formalized in-class peer-to-peer interaction.

So, while the technical engineering science courses focus and - and privilege the technical, the humanities and social science courses in many universities do just the opposite.The separation of technical and social within the curriculum reinforces the perceivedseparation in students’ minds, which is not reflective of engineering practice where the twohave to be considered simultaneously.Requirements vs. electiveSome interviewees also commented on the challenges associated with teaching ESI inrequired versus elective courses.

In addition, entrepreneurial-minded learning (EML)activities were implemented in several courses in electrical engineering and computerengineering based on the recent results in the undergraduate program. For this project,background and explanation of the frameworks are described in a capstone course for the

The program reaches on average over 100 middle-school-aged girlsannually, bringing them to Rowan’s campus to explore engineering through hands-on projectsand demonstrations.

Researchers have explored a variety ofEEP aspects such as their impact on student career choices, attitudes, and retention [8]–[10];assessed learning outcomes [11]; and have presented different models for EEPs [12].Cumulatively, these studies have provided empirical support for the benefits of entrepreneurshipeducation in the professional development of

However, this definition of creativity ties in congruently with theKern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network’s framework on Entrepreneurial Minded Learning (EML)which focuses on the value creation. Therefore, the KEEN framework itself is used as an assessment toolfor the module which will be discussed in the forthcoming sections.
