Property Law for Engineers, Scientists,and Entrepreneurs" [1]. The primary reason that a course in intellectual property principles should be offered inour engineering, science and technology learning institutions is that inventions, innovation, andcreativity have always led to advances that ostensibly benefit society as a whole. Today,practically all nations on earth have adopted an intellectual property protection system undertheir laws, which provide exclusive rights for a limited time to inventors and creators inexchange for the public disclosure of their inventions and creations. These laws, in combinationwith international treaties, allow any unique development, made or developed anywhere, toobtain exclusive protection globally. These

Our solution was to re-imagine B-Fab as a faculty andstaff experience that empowers participants to innovate in the classroom and provide richer,design- and project- based entrepreneurially-minded experiences for their students, exponentiallyincreasing the impact of the workshop experience.The primary goal of the B-FAB program is to provide faculty and staff with basic instruction invarious fabrication techniques available in Makerspaces on their campus through skill-buildingprojects so that they apply these techniques in the courses that they teach.

, 2020 Comparison of Entrepreneurial Mindset Course Learning Objectives: Evaluating Consistency and ClarityAbstractThe entrepreneurial mindset (EM) has become of increasing interest for engineering educators asa method to better prepare students for the workforce and generate more valuable innovations. Inthis paper, EM is defined in terms of six principles: Curiosity, Connections, Creating Value,Communication, Collaboration, and Character. These principles, labeled as the 6 C’s, areadapted from materials from the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN). However,despite the increased adoption of EM by educators, few tools exist to aid evaluation of curriculathrough an EM lens and few studies investigate their
schedules are full of teaching, research, service, and learning requirementsthat are on relatively strict timelines. In an effort to overcome these challenges, an ad hoc teamwas formed at California State University, Chico with representatives from all seven colleges.Three main pillars of innovation were identified (1) an entrepreneurial learning experience, (2)an on-campus makerspace, and (3) community outreach and engagement. This paper focuses onthe design, implementation, and success of the on-campus makerspace and as well as the lessonslearned and areas for improvement. The space is entering its third year of operations and hasseen over 1,500 projects completed in spring 2019, a marked increase in usage.IntroductionThe maker movement is

Moreover, the National Science Foundation (NSF) and other funding agencies--including the Kern Family Foundation, the Kauffman Foundation, VentureWell and theLemelson Foundation-- have invested in promoting entrepreneurship and innovation inengineering education [2].

Engineers has established a list of Grand Challenges forengineers which include several topics that will require novel designs based on chemicalengineering expertise, such as engineering better medicines, providing access to clean water,providing energy from fusion, managing the nitrogen cycle, preventing nuclear terror, anddeveloping carbon sequestration technologies [1]. These grand challenges present the opportunityfor chemical engineers to show their curiosity and creativity in determining new processes anddesign solutions. The need for these innovative, entrepreneurial engineers is obvious, and theuniversities are recognizing the need to incorporate these skills into their curriculum [2] [3] [4, 5].

We have rooms full of 3D printers.The taking-action movement has spawned game playing experiences directed towardentrepreneurship educators. In our pursuit of new innovations for the curriculum, we decided touse a business simulation to create a manageable experience that rewards the action-takingpersonality. Our search for a simulation was guided by our desire for a quick and competitiveexercise that could be completed in a 50-minute session. After a bit of prospecting and seekingalignment with our teaching module on product-market fit, we decided to use a

There has specifically been a movement to integrateentrepreneurship into engineering education. The NSF and other funding agencies including theKern Family Foundation, the Kauffman Foundation, VentureWell and the Lemelson Foundationhave invested significantly in promoting entrepreneurship and innovation in engineeringeducation (Duval-Couetil, Shartrand, & Reed, 2016a).

This confluence of factors calls for an innovativeapproach to spur change among faculty.Several engineering faculty at a large, public, southwestern research-focused institution,including tenured and tenure-track faculty, lecturers and adjunct instructors, submitted individualor joint proposals to an internal solicitation for a competitive professorship to embedEntrepreneurial Mindset (EM) into a course, lab or program. The institutional objectives includeeight design aspirations; one of which is to value entrepreneurship by using its knowledge andencouraging innovation. The

There has also been an increase in partnershipsbetween engineering and business schools within a university (e.g., at Rensselaer PolytechnicInstitute) (“Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Entrepreneurship,” 2010). Apart from theseprogrammatic changes that reflect these trends, there is a growing body of scholarship within theengineering education literature that highlights the increase in the number of people working inthe area and the expansions to the body of knowledge on this topic. For example, thedevelopment of publications venues like the Journal of Engineering Entrepreneurship (JEEN)and ASEE’s Division of Entrepreneurship and Innovation speak to rise of scholars
