that few students-even those who have had some priorexposure to engineering-know what engineers do, and this affects their commitment to theengineering major5. Changes in the economy and workforce needs have led many engineeringschools to consider offering entrepreneurship education to their students. Connecting the fieldsof engineering with business and entrepreneurship in higher education has yielded a wide rangeof innovative and useful outcomes, products, and organizations. A previous study exploredengineering students’ levels of interest and involvement in entrepreneurship, their perceptions ofits impact on self-efficacy, and the characteristics of students who participate7.

In this study, two groups of people, instructors who taught entrepreneurial focusedclasses (N = 46) and students enrolled in entrepreneurial classes (N = 138) were asked to defineentrepreneurship. The responses were coded into general categories and the categories werecompared across groups. Student responses were also analyzed based on several otherdemographic variables including gender, relationship to entrepreneurial parents, priorentrepreneurial experiences, and major. Results highlight some of the different perceptions andgoals that students and faculty hold regarding entrepreneurship.Introduction Many different definitions of entrepreneurship exist in various academic and businessdisciplines and discourses.

The analysis and design of propulsion systems course was a team-oriented course that included three lessons devoted to creativity and innovation and requests for proposals. The teams’ request for proposal projects’ presentations were evaluated by a panel of professors while the written proposal was evaluated by the class instructor on the bases of creativity as well as communication skills. The project presentation and written report had equal weight in the students’ grades, which also included in-class and final examinations. Another course pertaining to engineering entrepreneurship, but targeting first-year engineering students, was offered by the School of

Students felt that the assignments were carefully chosen(Question 18) and that grading criteria were articulated clearly (Question 14). Students alsocomplained that some of the classes were redundant with other courses in the program (Question12) and some were unhappy with the format of the final project (the choice of an SBIR proposalwas not, in retrospect, the best choice for non-US citizens).Another challenge to this course is that not all students have the same level of experience withentrepreneurship. While all students hold an engineering background not all have experiencewith business concepts, much less entrepreneurship. This course is

Education, 2014Engineering Virtual Studio: KEEN Modules to Foster Entrepreneurial Mindset in an Integrative, First/Second Year Online Course1. AbstractEngineering is a field that interacts with its surroundings by applying science to practicalproblems. In developing future engineers, teaching the technical fundamentals is only part of thetask; engineering programs must also develop engineers that are able to apply those skills intothe real world. Example problems are sometimes shown in classes, but lack the interactivitynecessary to instill the skill in students. Introducing students to entrepreneurship directlypromotes creativity and marketplace connection while indirectly instilling connection to realworld problems and promoting scholarly and

An assessment plan wasdeveloped in conjunction with the minor and initial results will be reported. The overall goal ofthe assessment is to track the students’ progress, knowledge, skill development, and attitudinalchanges as the students proceed through the minor and begin their careers. As the first step inthis process, students from the core classes of the minor were asked to complete a survey nearthe beginning and end of the semester to capture their attitudes toward entrepreneurship andinnovation.
