A variant of affinity diagramsis also introduced that reduces the creativity-inhibiting elements of group dynamics.INTRODUCTIONEngineers love creating. They blend their knowledge of the physical and life sciences intoinventing solutions to complex problems. The quantitative arena in which we profess expertiseoften demands a single, best answer. However, engineering often requires decision makingrooted in incomplete information and intuition. Often there is not a “single, best answer.” Onecannot

. Attributes of an engineer with anentrepreneurial mindset include a base of technical fundamentals, business acumen, and customerawareness, all of which attempt to support societal values. In KEEN-related literature theseattributes are often shown geometrically in the form of a now iconic tetrahedron with societalvalues representing the top vertex and the other 3 residing on the base triangle. More recently,curiosity, connections, and creating value (the 3 “Cs”) have been used to describe theentrepreneurial mindset (e.g. Erdil [3]).Different institutions have employed different approaches to infusing engineering curricula andcourses with entrepreneurship content, including a systemic approach, focusing on freshmanIntroduction to Engineering courses

experience to each student. However,it is not simple to claim that every student is aware or capable. As we know the popular quote,the practice makes perfect. The outcome of any course and/or lab is majorly relied on thestudents’ hard work. It is the responsibility of an instructor to make sure that every studentfollows the course as well as lab materials and make sure that students are practicing/reviewingthe provided material. The other challenge is how a project is integrated to hands-on experiencelab.In this work, we are sharing the techniques or pedagogies we integrated in traditional teachingpedagogies (Kersten, S., 2018; Felder, R.M. and Silverman, L.K., 1988).
