Each of these items was measured on a 5-point scale ranging from Neverto Very Often.While an undergraduate engineering student, how often did you discuss each of thefollowing with your engineering professors: • Course material and assignments outside of class • Your professional options with an engineering degree • How skills you learned in class apply to “real-life” engineering practicesTable 6.

Only about half of our projects fall into the category of product designwith a prototype. The product projects, whether hardware, software, or a combination, work wellas examples in traditional entrepreneurship or business planning classes. Many of our biomedicalengineering students develop medical devices, and mechanical engineering students developrobots and gadgets, all of which are ideal examples for identifying customers, value propositions,and fundraising

because each team would need to create professional quality CAD models and basicsimulations. Having at least one person with strong CAD skills on each team is essential. Genderwas factored in because the class was mostly male and the instructor wanted to avoid, if possible,having multiple teams with only one female on the team. TeamBuilder enabled the instructor toobjectively form teams by subjectively choosing which factors were most important to hiscourse.Likewise, TeamBuilder can also be leveraged in entrepreneurship. In particular, byorganizations that support team formation, like on-campus accelerators.

Students in IBLcourses use a tokenized system to track their learning of concepts, skills, and tools that they believeaid them in pursuit of innovations. Bi-weekly learning reports are presented during class and real-time feedback is given by peers on both presentations and token submissions.

The courses are about entrepreneurship andentrepreneurial skills, but they do not necessarily convert students immediately intoentrepreneurs.A second factor involves the composition of teams

of management or business, the entrepreneurialprograms at the University originated in the College of Engineering. In the College ofEngineering, the belief was that engineering graduates play many roles in industry, all ofwhich require business and entrepreneurial skills. In response to this situation, the collegedeveloped the entrepreneurial certificate program. Separately, the College of Arts andSciences, through the Undergraduate Management Program, also developed a certificateprogram and concentration in entrepreneurship. However, these two programs operatedseparately and only impacted a small percentage of the entire student population.

Many of these ideas came from classes, museums,cartoons and television, interesting objects from the real world, and even late-night shoppingexperiences. Thinking of how different kinds of energy, such as mechanical, chemical, orelectrical, could be transformed sometimes resulted in new ideas being generated.
