• Curriculum Design § Group Work Fig. 3: Curriculum ThemeSome of the strengths of the curriculum, which include group work and curriculum design, arecounterbalanced by constraints including assessments, curriculum flaws, engineering professorattributes, individual work and the pandemic. One participant noted that professional skills were“outside of their comfort zone” and that engineering curricula are “heavily weighted towards thetechnical.”One of the main curriculum flaws noted by the research participants included the assessment ofprofessional skills. One participant commented, “Technical (assessment) is easier,” and anothernoted, “You can tell why we all become engineers.” They indicated that soft

Association of Colleges and Employers [2] ranked problem-solving skills as the secondmost important skill required by employers, with written communication skills being numberone. The top ten required attributes included “ability to work in a team, initiative, and analyticalskills.” For the first time, entrepreneurial skills were reported as a desired attribute by 16.9% ofthe participants.The problem is that engineering students’ exposure to practicing these skills is often limited tosenior capstone courses. Throughout their technical training, engineering students are introducedto problem-solving techniques using closed-ended, well-defined problems with one correctanswer. This pedagogical approach encourages the use of convergent thinking: the use
it enables one to understandthe pain points of the target audience and create products or services that effectively solve thoseproblems. Students were asked to conduct a small market research by either surveying theexisting literature or online resources where industry trends and customer feedback wereavailable. The teams were encouraged to conduct focus groups and ideation sessions inorder todiscuss their market research so as to gather customer insights and understand customer needs.Fig 1.

For teamwork session #2, teams were introduced to the Business Model Canvas[6] and encouraged to consider each of its main elements in their work. For teamwork session #3,teams were strongly encouraged to follow Guy Kawasaki’s 10-20-30 Rule for venture capitalpresentations [19] (10 slides, no more than 20 minutes, and no less than 30 point fonts) and topractice their presentation at least twice before pitching to the coaches.4.

He also has a growing interest in engineering education, especially with regards to sustainability and entrepreneurial innovation in the curriculum.David Tomczyk, Quinnipiac University ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 Changes in Affective Capacities of CAD Students Engaged in an Engineering Design ProjectAbstractSuccess in open-ended design activities requires a desire to succeed and a belief in one’s abilityto succeed when faced with ambiguously defined problems. Engineering design courses ideallydevelop these affective capacities as well as technical skills. Multiple approaches to enhancingthem in a design course exist, and this
approachto design (appeared in 16 reflections). This theme is important to note because the inclusion of astakeholder or customer is the key element that differentiates entrepreneurially minded learningfrom project-based learning [3] and customer awareness is an important attribute of anentrepreneurially minded engineer [14]. The excerpts below show examples of how studentsrecognized the importance of focusing on the customer when designing solutions: “Specifically, I learned to identify the three clients: the decision-maker, the payer, and the end- user. I then learned how to formulate a problem statement that addresses client needs. Most of my previous experience was focused on technical skills, so learning to design for a client

listening, observation, and perspective-taking skills [7], [9].Storytelling practices enable students to learn about themselves, to connect to their classmatesand instructors, and to confidently describe their talents, all of which are invaluable to theirdevelopment [3]. Moreover, storytelling also honors the knowledge students bring to theclassroom from their 18 or more years of lived experiences. Students are whole people whocome wanting to make connections with their past and future lives. Reflection allows students torecognize what they have learned in their lives thus far, what they want to still learn, and howthey can best learn. By reflecting, students can process and internalize the experiences andattitudes they bring with them to further
prescription and standardization that rewards conformity [3, 4, 5]. Furthermore,there is a recognition that traditional engineering education approaches do not necessarily nurturethe creative problem-solving skills needed in engineering practice [6, 7].Incorporation of broader use of idea generation techniques, assignment of open-ended andunderdefined problems, and creating an educational environment that is welcoming to creativecharacteristics and behaviors have been suggested [7, 8, 9]. A more recent stream of literatureproposes and investigates the incorporation of arts-based pedagogies into engineering curriculumto support the development of creative thinking skills of engineering students.

Itplays a crucial role in initiating and developing new ventures, which is essential for economicgrowth, innovation, job creation, and individual empowerment. Fostering and supportingentrepreneurial intention is critical for developing a prosperous and dynamic society [1].Entrepreneurial IntentionEntrepreneurial intention (EI) is a key concept in entrepreneurship research, focusing on the factorsinfluencing the decision to start a business. This decision is often based on deliberate reasoningthat mediates between personal reasons and actions, shaped by various internal and external factors[3]. EI represents an individual's inclination to initiate and develop a new

The survey contained both Likert stylequantitative responses as well as long form answers to qualitative questions. Students were askedto quantify how effective they found each of the fellowship activities (scale 1-10) in shaping theirentrepreneurial journey and furthering their educational goals. These activities included coaching,mentoring, workshops and networking opportunities, and team bonding sessions. The results areshown in Figure 9. For clarity, the vertical scale is

exposure to entrepreneurship practices [1]. While traditional entrepreneurshipeducation has focused on self-employment and venture creation, recent advancements haveshifted the emphasis toward developing entrepreneurially-minded graduates. In particular, EEPsin engineering have evolved to focus on cultivating entrepreneurial skills and mindsets,expanding beyond sole enterprise formation [2]. These EEPs are posited as a means to fosterinnovativeness in students' chosen fields of employment upon graduation [3]. Moreover,engineering EEPs have advanced from business-oriented programs to more immersive, real-world-oriented approaches that aim to help students acquire entrepreneurship-related traits,skills, and mindsets [2].

The government of Canada recognizes the importance ofentrepreneurship in the development of its economy, with small and medium-sized enterprises(SMEs) accounting for 98% of businesses and employing 8 out of 10 private-sector workers [2].New products are often first brought out by entrepreneurs. These products could also includevarious services, technologies and specific advancements in a sector or industry [3]. Researchhas shown a positive association between entrepreneurial activities and levels of innovation [4].A challenge is finding methods that could lead to fostering fast and scalable entrepreneurship andfoster the culture of risk taking, experimentation and competitiveness amongst businesses. © American
