This real customer interaction fosters empathetic design whileproviding a more meaningful classroom experience as students are able to see directly theimpact their designs have in creating real value – value as it is defined, not by the student orinstructor, but by their customer. In the junior year, engineering students are typically engaged in much of theirdiscipline-specific engineering coursework. Thus, this thread of entrepreneurially mindedlearning is extended by means of discipline-specific applications through projects deployed inmultiple junior-level courses. Finally, the senior capstone experience brings together students’engineering

Students with various majors are forced to worktogether and make connections between theories taught in the classroom and real-world designapplications—improving their understanding. Connections among the disciplines drawn from inthis program can be seen in Figure 2. These connections are forged and experienced by both thefaculty teaching the program and the students in it.Figure 2. This Venn diagram indicates the connections among the different subject areas withinthe course and the expertise area of the faculty.For instance, in science the goal of creating models is to predict the world around us.Communication models rely on being able to predict human behaviors and responses.

.” 7Another way in which students differentiated courses in the minor from technical classes in theirmajors is that the minor courses provided more opportunities for authentic application ofconcepts. One student described the difference in this way: “…you’re never really given the opportunity in these [technical] classes to think about applications you can use them for. You might learn applications in the textbook, but you’re not actually taking the time to think, “What could I make with this? What could I take these skills and use…to improve the existing society?”This student implies that textbook problems are inadequate in their ability to connect students’classroom learning with real-world application, a limitation that

Second,learning is achieved through the application of higher-level inquiry and thinking skills. Third,authentic learning occurs through working within a community of learners. Fourth, students mustbe empowered in some way, which can be achieved by providing an open-ended assignment.One successful approach towards implementing meaningful learning experiences involvesengaging students in service learning activities, which Bringle and Hatcher described as apedagogical method of bringing more authentic experiences into the classroom.2 The portrayalsof students engaged in service learning are typically those of a group of students

c Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Entrepreneurially Minded Learning in a Physiological Signals Analysis Lab: Work in ProgressIntroductionLab courses are often designed with a specific objective that may or may not have a connectionto the real-world problems. In addition, labs often offer a rigid, previously tested protocol, givinglittle to no room for flexibility by the students. These lab exercises do not allow for curiosity orcreativity by the students and do not challenge their ability to reach beyond what is directly infront of them [1], [2]. The goal of this work is to change that pattern for application-oriented labactivities in the junior level Quantitative Physiological Signal Analysis

Projects included ideas such as the use of abiodegradable plant based Styrofoam alternative, a method for recycling Styrofoam, a campuswide recycling program targeted at the dorms, and a BPA free liner for paper coffee cups. Thestudent feedback, taken via a post project survey indicates the project allowed students to drawconnections with their class work and a real world engineering problem.

Thatchange agent, however, finds some component of the world that does not seem right or as goodas it could be. The entrepreneurial literature would call this opportunity recognition (Byers et al.2011). They then focus on the difference between their perceptions of the real-world as it is, andan imagined-world as they hope it could be – noted as creativity or vision. The role of the changeagent is then to take actions to move the real-world model closer to their imagined-system model–noted as this change being the value proposition of the change agent.There is another
