Engineering Education, 2015 Opportunity Thinktank: Laying a foundation for the entrepreneurially minded engineerIntroductionDesign projects have become a principal element of the undergraduate engineering curriculum.Recently, using the KEEN philosophy, there is momentum to push engineering education furtherby fostering an entrepreneurial mindset among students. Providing a basic set of engineeringskills in specific specialty areas of study is no longer sufficient. Engineers design solutions formarketplace problems. As such it is imperative that they approach the marketplace in search ofopportunities for which they can design break-through solutions. This is the mindset of theentrepreneur. The need for entrepreneurial thinking is pervasive among

technical trades exploit physicallaws of the universe, which is in his mind far easier than developing new physical laws orinterpretations of physical laws. The interpretation of why the modern engineer is viewed the way he is has beendiscussed in multiple venues, but the work of Bix takes a philosophical approach. He argues thatduring and after World War Two, the genesis of the engineer as product became paramount. Oneway he supports this is through the development of the modern engineering pathway – aprecursor to the often discussed pipeline problem in today’s engineering colleges.

The second year was focused on design changes,implementation, and initial assessment of the system.
