(See Figures 8a and 8b for boxplots).Independent groups t-tests were conducted on each of the slider questions to determine if therewere significant differences between the entrepreneurship and design faculty. Due to the smallsample sizes, none of the above tendencies were found to be significantly different.3.

figured out that the project was not centeredon making money, but making people’s lives better. It was in this light that I found a new way toview social entrepreneurship. In the entrepreneurship classes that I have taken, many of thesocial views were from those that had started their own small businesses in third world countriesand did not often discuss examples of outside entrepreneurs coming into these countries andmaking a large impact. Not to say I had not heard of examples of this happening, the book ThreeCups of Tea is a great example

We are in the business of helping students develop their methodological toolkits through the liberal arts practices of reflection, insight, and synthesis. Using thesepractices, innovation and entrepreneurship have been integrated into an engineeringcurriculum through a year-long liberal arts seminar at Milwaukee School of Engineering.This three-course freshman-level honors sequence has “The City” as its topical focus.Although we did not set out to create a course in entrepreneurship, the relationshipbetween our intended goals and the tenets of entrepreneurial education became clearwhen we examined the content of our classes in connection with a grant application webecame involved with that

Creativity and Innovation in the ClassroomAbstractMuch is being required of engineering graduates that goes well beyond the basic skillstraditionally required in engineering. While ABET assessment insures that all programs have theminimum skills and outcomes required for accreditation, it is the responsibility of academicinstitution to develop “core values” in their students so that the constituents are best served.Feedback from industry highlights the need for students to understand more about the areas ofcreativity and innovation in the context of the business environment.1 Innovation and creativityare critical to maintaining an engineering edge in the United States’ industrial base.2 These topicsdeserve emphasis in classes other than dedicated

EMEs have not necessarily starteda new business (although they may have), they are, most often, working in established small- andmedium-sized firms, many work in Fortune 1000 firms [1].The Kern Entrepreneurship Education Network (KEEN), a collection of twenty-one privateengineering schools across the US, in partnership with Target Training International (TTI), aworldwide leader in personal and professional assessments, is undertaking the KEEN – TTIPerformance DNA Assessment Project.

Our goal was to observe the ways students used Design Heuristics inthese two different scenarios.
