. Entrepreneurship education has evolved since it was first taught in business schools in themid-1940s. As it continues to be incorporated across disciplines, entrepreneurship education hasseen a number of innovations and has benefited from advances in student learning6.Entrepreneurship education has expanded well beyond single business plan classes. Recently,engineering colleges have been the most aggressive at incorporating entrepreneurship at differentlevels, from individual course development, certificate creation, to program development3,4,7. In2010, over 50% of ASEE engineering programs offered entrepreneurship opportunities to theirstudents and approximately 25% had a more structured opportunity, such as a minor7. While thecurriculum and delivery

approach.This engineering technology-driven program has evolved to incorporate students from manyother departments throughout campus (i.e., art, history, international studies, etc.). This hasprovided all students an opportunity to experience an engineering technology program they maynot have had otherwise. The coursework focuses on the Roman architectural concepts,environmental sustainability, construction methods, materials, and applications.The vision for this project is to have a permanent study center abroad or an ETSU at Romecampus. In 2009, the first class had 13 participants. In 2010, we offered three class choices for17 students, and we will have approximately 25 students enrolled for 2011.

Inaddition, the Academy states that, “Creativity…is an indispensable quality for engineering, andgiven the growing scope of the challenges ahead and the complexity and diversity of thetechnologies of the 21st century, creativity will grow in importance.” The Academy questionshow engineering education must evolve to meet the needs and problems of the 21st century butgives few details on how it expects institutions to change current practices to develop engineerswith the list of ideal attributes.In recent years, the development of skills such as innovation and creativity has primarily beenleft to two areas in the typical undergraduate engineering curriculum: 1) institutionalizedprograms such as entrepreneurship minors or

Exercises in these skills cancomplement a wide range of topics in traditional engineering courses. This paper discusses aproblem-based learning (PBL) module on the topic of sustainability created to develop students’abilities in and sense of the importance of innovative problem solving, collaboration, marketanalysis, and other entrepreneurial skills.As a footnote, it should be understood that the authors are using “entrepreneurship” in a largersense than its traditional definition.

Studies on the direct assessment of EM are muchfewer than those on indirect assessment. Klein and Yoder proposed a rubric-based approach forassessing student artifacts [6]. Hylton and Hays modified VALUE rubrics to perform courselevel assessment of EM [7]. A method to assess student achievement of KSOs involving thecomputation of an Entrepreneurial Minded Learning (EML) Index was proposed byHarichandran et al. [8].

E. Hanifin (University of Detroit Mercy)AbstractMost of the students engaging in entrepreneurship at engineering schools will not start their ownbusinesses as their first employment. Most will enter industry. The challenge to use theirentrepreneurial interests and skills then resides in their abilities to innovate, engage,communicate and lead in an industrial environment to identify and pursue new opportunities anddirections for these organizations.Building on an extensive study1 conducted with a team comprised of faculty from four leadingcolleges, and encompassing an industrial advisory group composed of leaders from tencompanies spanning large material based corporations to large consumer products goodscompanies to recognized world class

Using a flipped-classroominstructional model, students complete the modules outside of class, typically over a set two-week period, and instructors engage the students in discussion either in-class or online andthrough an activity. This mode of integration enables the assessment of higher cognitiveunderstanding of the concepts and students’ ability to apply what they learn.At present, 12 modules have been developed.

To make it easier for non-business students to fit an entrepreneurship class (e.g., EIL) into their schedules, the BusinessDepartment chair allowed Engineering and CS students to use the EIL to satisfy a GeneralEducation requirement. The instructor of the EIL course began making recruiting presentationsto Engineering classes and distributing recruitment flyers to Engineering faculty.
