Project-Based Learning in a Simulation Course to Develop an Entrepreneurial Mindset Michael E. Kuhl Industrial and Systems Engineering Department Rochester Institute of Technology Rochester, NY 14623AbstractHaving an entrepreneurial mindset is often a characteristic of highly successful engineers. Thismindset can be cultivated through engineering curriculum and educational methods. This workpresents a case study in which project-based learning is utilized in a simulation course to foster thedevelopment of an entrepreneurial mindset in engineering students. The

Integration of a Local Riverbank Failure Problem in CivilEngineering Undergraduate CurriculumDr. Suguang Xiao, P.E., Clarkson UniversityMr. Robert Schneider, Clarkson UniversityMr. Erik Backus, P.E., LEED AP, Clarkson UniversityAbstractOne of the primary goals of undergraduate educators is to provide engineering students with engagingproblems to build skills needed for their careers. Project based coursework puts responsibility on thestudent to initiate self-directed learning and opportunity to apply fundamentals. Recently, with thesolicitation of the local municipality, a team of Clarkson University faculty and students volunteered inassisting a homeowner to rectify a slope failure along the St. Regis River in Brasher Falls, NY

STEMteacher or faculty from Clarkson’s Institute for STEM Education, to assist students with seeingtheir projects through to fruition. Students and mentors work together to develop their ideas intoworkable lesson plans that are tied to the New York State education standards. Final lesson plansand supporting materials (PowerPoint presentations, recorded videos) are submitted forevaluation and formally presented to an audience composed of judges and members of thecampus community and general public. Last year, our judging team consisted of middle and highschool students, local teachers, pre-service teachers enrolled in Clarkson’s Master of Arts inTeaching (MAT) degree program, and faculty. Prizes are awarded to all entries, with largerprizes for

The inclusion of child participantperspectives from 15 families provides diverse data for the interpretation of narrow units ofanalysis (i.e., statements, phrases) and aggregation into broader units (i.e., themes, meanings)[44].ContextThis study is part of a larger grant project, began in 2019, working in partnership with familiesand community members to develop, implement, and refine an out-of-school elementaryengineering program. The current study explored the perceptions and demonstrated creativehabits of mind of children who participated in the out-of-school engineering program duringYear 2 and 3 of this project.

progress are projected onto the screens in front of the class, so students canparticipate in this interactive programming activities. Sometimes, students are provided with activitysheets and then asked to complete the code on them. Next, each student is paired with another classmatesitting closely, so they can correct each other’s code. In this activity, students are encouraged to peerreview their classmates’ works by assessing the code performance, making comments, and suggestingimprovements. This student peer review process could enhance student motivation and fostercollaborative learning, and meanwhile help the instructor to manage large groups and promote theteaching effectiveness in a large-size classroom.To further enhance the engagement

the semester, four of the six participating TAs completed anonymous surveys, includingLikert-scale and narrative-style questions regarding their experiences with this program. In general, twoof the four TAs had a very positive experience, learned more about student-centered teaching, feltadequately supported, and strongly agreed that they gained confidence. Three of the four TAs hadexperiences that ranged from slightly positive to very positive. One TA was not and is not interested inteaching and did not gain much from participation. (Likely this was not a good candidate for participationin a teaching-focused project, but perhaps the value was helping them decide against teaching in theirfuture.) Overall, the TAs’ narrative responses suggest

The post-conference survey wasadministered to all 444 attendees at the end of the conference. 161 attendees provided feedback on thepost-conference survey. To develop the survey, the evaluation team first referenced priorities and goalsof the surveys discussed during the project launch, reviewed the evaluation questions in the projectnarrative, and mapped the evaluation questions with the overall research questions of the project.
