Students are aware of crises affecting society, such as healthcare disparity and cleanenergy, but few have experience combining engineering and entrepreneurship to address them.This paper presents a one-semester undergraduate college course that, building on three pillars,teaches undergraduate students how to pursue societally significant opportunities. The first pillaris the distinction between tacit and codified knowledge in opportunity recognition. The secondpillar is metacognition to build students’ self-efficacy in the requisite applied and social sciences.The third pillar is the protocol of the federal Small Business Innovation Research program(“America’s Seed Fund”).

A dominance analysis showed that sugarconsumption most greatly impacted the presence of CRP. The clustering and PCA showed thatCRP and alcohol consumption were related most similarly. The linear regression relating CRP andsugar consumption had an R2 of 0.49, and the t-test had a p-value of 0.004. The

Researchers and school curricula willoften focus on one-size-fits-all approaches to education which attempt to address all possibleeducational needs [5], [6], especially for PBL implementations. But even with major research intothis area, one-size-fits-all approaches to learning are not able to
