Unlike toy projects, Tech Startupprojects leverage Entrepreneurship students to provide feedback and changing requirements asthey adopt Lean Startup methods. At the beginning of each semester, students from both classesparticipate in ideation

Third, while students are currently trained and encouragedto explore the entrepreneurial aspects and cultural context of their global health tech projects,these aspects often receive less emphasis. The current generation of engineering students areeager to tackle global challenges and positively impact patients’ lives. Therefore, our objectivewas to create a new, experiential course in global health innovation and entrepreneurship wherestudents from various educational levels and schools, specifically the Schools of Engineering(SEAS) and Public Health (PH), will

consideredincompatible with larger lecture classes with over 50 students and no lab sections.This paper describes an open-ended project called “Teams Teaching Engineering” that can bescaled up or down in complexity and is adaptable to a wide range of classes. In its most simpleform, it can be used as a large homework assignment, where student teams build a visual aidillustrating a class concept, use it to teach someone outside the team, then write about what theyhave learned from the process. This simple version was successfully implemented in foursemesters of a statics class with over fifty students and in a one-credit Introduction to AerospaceEngineering class with over 125 first-year students. After positive feedback, the Introduction toAerospace assignment

Coincidentally, after discussionsamong all senior design program coordinators, a standard senior design report template and atime frame were developed, which in fact helped launch several additional multi-disciplinaryprojects [12].In 2013, the new course Senior Innovation (SI) was unveiled to the entire class of 500 students inthe 11 engineering programs

Expectations matter when engineering students tell stories about acolleague’s choice to step away from their CEO/founder position. How might stories featur-ing negative consequences enhance or interfere with creative approaches in engineering?
