IntroductionByers et al. suggest that entrepreneurship leads to innovation, which leads to technologicaladvances, which in turn leads to both an enhanced quality of life and the economic benefit of jobcreation. Students who receive entrepreneurship training are better prepared to be effective teammembers and work toward solving global problems [1]. One facet of this training is to createand deliver an effective elevator pitch.In this paper, we utilize one of the e-learning modules developed through the KernEntrepreneurial

Engineering entrepreneurship is growing as a subfield of interest as well, with manyinstitutions nationwide placing centers for entrepreneurship and innovation under theirengineering schools and with the establishment of The Journal of Engineering Entrepreneurship.A study was started at a western research university to better understand the impact of peerconsultants in entrepreneurship for engineering students (Call, Goodridge, & Scheaffer, 2016).These peer consultants from the university’s entrepreneurship center were invited into randomlyselected sections of a Technical Communication for Engineers class to present information aboutentrepreneurship, the on-campus resources and competitions that

Therefore, students must be champions of value creation. As educators, we must train students to persistently anticipate and meet the needs of a changing world.”Students were given approximately 30 minutes to write after each major deliverable wascompleted and at the very end of the course.Figure 2.

Modules in Developing an Entrepreneurial Mindset based on Deployment at 25 Institutions AbstractIn this paper, we describe an innovative curricular model employed at the University of NewHaven to develop an entrepreneurial mindset in engineering students. The entrepreneurialmindset in this model is characterized by the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network(KEEN)’s 3C’s, which are curiosity, connections and creating value. The core of the model isthe integration of short, self-paced, e-learning modules into courses spanning all four years of allengineering and computer science programs. A flipped classroom instructional model is used tointegrate the modules into courses. We are in the

In recent years, institutions across the nation have beeninvesting resources in developing maker spaces plus curricular and extracurricular programs toprovide opportunities for students to acquire knowledge, skills, and pursue innovative ideaswhile still in college. In 2011, the National Science Foundation (NSF) [3] launched theInnovation Corps (I-Corps) program focused on accelerating economic and societal benefits ofNSF funded research projects. Today, there are almost 100 institutions participating in theprogram with an I-Corps Site program on their campus. While each institution utilizes similarapproaches, including an I-Corps team formation, knowledge and skills training, customerdiscovery and guidance from experienced
