: Implications of pedagogical approach for students’ mindsetAbstractStudent curiosity compels learners to go beyond what is presented in the classroom, to connectwhat they have discovered with other concepts, and to finally create new items and knowledge tohelp address the world’s problems. Encouraging this entrepreneurial mindset is a goal within anumber of courses at our institution. While not every learner arrives in our classrooms innatelycurious about the course topic, by using alternative instructional approaches, perhaps curiositymight be fostered more broadly.The goal of this study is to explore the hypothesis that courses that include open-ended, real-world problems will foster growth of the entrepreneurial mindset

entrepreneurs. Towards that, various engineering colleges have beenestablishing Entrepreneurial Development Centers (EDC). The centers (also referred to asentrepreneurial education training programs) focus on developing entrepreneurial capabilitiesand mindset (associated socio-emotional skills and entrepreneurship awareness) and raisingsuccessful enterprises[5]. We decided to use the design thinking approach, which is elaboratedby Buchanan[6] as addressing intractable human concerns through design, and started byunderstanding requirements of prospective student entrepreneurs to establish a more useful EDC.The paper explains the approach that consisted of learning from people, finding patterns, andarriving at design principles for design of the proposed

possess an ‘entrepreneurial mindset’. Considering the significant financial and time investments involved in the creation ofentrepreneurship programs, institutional funding competitions, and accelerator programs, it isnotable that there are no in-depth, qualitative studies that explore the entrepreneurshipexperiences students have because of these programs. In general, there is very little research onthe personal impacts of these experiences including how they can affect an engineering student’sattitudes, behaviors, career goals, or personal competence (Duval-Coetil, Reed-Rhoads, &Haghighi, 2011). There is also no consensus on what developing an ‘entrepreneurial mindset’means. This study builds off current literature in addressing these

with community service in such a waythat the service performed is integral to achieving the academic goals of a course. Servicelearning projects are well documented within higher education, including within engineering viaestablished programs as EPICS [2, 3] and Engineers Without Borders [4, 5], and areimplemented with the goal of developing a positive mindset toward service learning. Similarly,the concept of incorporating the entrepreneurial mindset [6, 7] into engineering education hasresulted in project-based service learning experiences. For example, students enrolled in a courseat Villanova are first given the cultural context of a developing country and then live in one ofthat country’s rural communities during spring break [8].

how one might impact the world in the future.Entrepreneurship and sustainability often seem to be at odds with one another. Asimplistic definition would be that entrepreneurship focuses more on short-term value(often localized to particular stakeholders), while sustainability is focused on long-termvalue (often regional or global) (Tranquillo, 2017). Both, however, are oriented towardthe future and there are in fact many marriages between the two. Programs such as socialentrepreneurship in engineering schools and sustainable finance programs inside ofbusiness schools have grown in popularity. Furthermore, the entrepreneurial mindset,although not well defined (Zappe, 2013), is focused on developing the habits, behaviorsand attitudes of an

-directed learning, allowing participants to create meaning for themselves in what they do [29],[30]. It is not enough to simply have activities where participants follow step-by-step directions.Participants must be able to experience problems they could encounter as engineers and theymust be able to problem-solve and create their own meaningful experiences. One thing that couldbe incorporated in activities is the entrepreneurial mindset, a term often used by KernEngineering Entrepreneurial Network (KEEN). This mindset is meant to inspire progress andlearning in engineering with the three cornerstones being curiosity, connection, and value. KEENoften emphasizes the importance of being curious about innovative solutions in the changingworld

Teachers’ descriptions of how they would use, for example,programming, soldering, 3D printing, robotic movements were all explained in ways that made itclear that they were poised to take their students from “reading about” to doing science, and fromclassrooms to labs and computer clubs.Business mindset: Teachers reported that the business and entrepreneurial activities provided animportant new dimension to their learning and teaching.

Thisapproach is also consistent with Florida Tech’s participation in the Kern EntrepreneurialEngineering Network (KEEN), which seeks to develop an entrepreneurial mindset in students[2].In the aerospace capstone program, some topics are predefined by industry or research sponsors,but many can be defined by the instructor. In previous years, some effort was made to obtainstudent input, but approaches varied with the instructor and minimal class time was used toexplore options.

For example,Wilczynski [2] observed makerspaces in order to understand the factors leading to successfulspaces and found that makerspaces require clear mission, proper staffing, openness, availabletraining, maker mindset, and accessibility. Other studies have identified the staff-user ratio and thefloor space-user ratio as factors for success [6] as well as sustainable faculty leadership,management, and mentorship as critical elements for nurturing student values and co-ownership[7].There remains, however, a need to understand how participation in makerspaces impacts studentdevelopment as engineers.

found in France, the U.S. educational system clearly drawssignificantly on entrepreneurial energies, going back well before the present neoliberal era. Onthe other hand, Cold War science policy has also contributed to the diversity of U.S. academicinstitutions (Geiger 1993, 2015). While this diversity has allowed the U.S. educational system tobe highly productive in generating a highly versatile and skilled workforce as well as newknowledge, this can also frustrate efforts to craft uniform visions and standards withinengineering education. Even when new standards are established and enforced, the entrenchedpatterns of institutional diversity will often harbor discontent with the status quo, leading tofurther rounds of reform.The background
