A group of 30 Seniors was used to testnew content for teaching the engineering students to understand, identify, and communicate theunique features and value of their senior design projects. 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

The most common place to focus such changes isthe capstone course. In this course, students are challenged to use learning from prior classes tosolve specific, and sometimes real-world, problems. This paper will describe our approach atCalvin College for instilling the entrepreneurial mindset in each of our engineering students,particularly in the capstone design course.Previous Work in This AreaA number of schools have been in the process of integrating entrepreneurship into engineeringcapstone (senior design) courses.

This includes fostering an internationally collaborative approach that isentrepreneurial, socially responsible, and engages the workforce in life-long learning. Oneapproach the authors’ department has taken is to cultivate EM through pedagogies that mergetechnical learning with mindset development. Here, EM is distinct from entrepreneurship, andcan be defined as cognitive behaviors (i.e. thinking, attitudes, and behaviors) that are grounded invalue

Results indicated that women anticipated negative consequences for awoman’s success with theoretical implications for achievement motivation. Her study has beenvalidated and applied in various experiments regarding career development and occupationalchoice [17] with commonalities and differences in the original finding that women had a fearof success. Further studies found relational gender differences in the ways men and women tellstories about the motivation of entrepreneurial leaders [18, 19]. In this
