The mantra for these courses is that everyone should “think like an entrepreneur.” Thatis, they should learn to identify opportunities and to consider all the necessary aspects ofeffective execution to take advantage of those opportunities. The IC is introduced a few weeksafter they have learned about the traditional business plan and the business model canvas. TheIC is a tool for showing how all of its themes must be considered in dynamic

During the Foundationsof Engineering Design II class, a team project introduces the students to the entrepreneurialmindset.

In gatewaycourses, students complete signature assignments specifically created to foster entrepreneurialmindset and critical reflection. These signature assignments are also designed to producemeaningful artifacts and experiences that may later be used as part of students’ stories andportfolios.

classes toenable students to reap the rewards of their product ideas. The university's intellectual property policycontains two interesting facets that pertain to student innovation. First, students own their ideas. If a studentproposes an idea to work on in a course then the student owns the resulting intellectual property as long asthe student does not use more resources than the typical project in the class. The other interesting part of thepolicy is the concept of the innovation committee. The innovation committee, consisting of faculty andadministrators, reviews intellectual property submitted by faculty and students. Faculty are required to submittheir patentable ideas but for students it is optional. If the committee decides the idea has

Once engineers are partof society it is important that they have a stronger interaction with the wider public. So the goal ofincluding this course in the program is to provide students the opportunity to work closely withthe real local entrepreneurship environment.

Students were placed on teams and given a predetermined innovation seedproject that was based on a university related problem. They developed hypotheses of designsolutions, made a test plan, got out of the building to test their hypothesis with customers andstakeholders, and iterated until they validated (or invalidated) their solutions. Along the way,they learned about value propositions, product-market-fit, the scientific method, customer-centricdesign, and teamwork.Just as the first year
