a growing area in the field ofengineering and is aimed at reducing human effort. While the IoT may have tremendousapplications in engineering, its potential in the field of green energy manufacturing is oftenneglected. In this workshop we aimed to spread awareness about the uses and possiblecontributions of Internet based devices in clean energy and energy efficiency. The workshop wasdesigned to provide students with a firm grounding in the principles of sustainable manufacturingenvironment and real-world energy efficiency improvements on general systems. Our trainingmaterials were designed for various students in engineering so that they become interested in greenenergy manufacturing. This workshop allowed the students to explore the

IntroductionThe Entrepreneurial Mindset (EM) is defined as an “inclination to discover, evaluate, and exploitopportunities.[1]” With more than 50 engineering school partners, the Kern EntrepreneurialEngineering Network (KEEN) has adopted and disseminated an Entrepreneurially MindedLearning (EML) Framework to infuse EM in engineering students. The EML framework isfounded on the 3 C’s principles of curiosity, connections, and creating value.[2], [3] Numerousresources

Video data were categorized into 6 distinct activities: reading the textbook, using acalculator, writing (assumably working on the problem), talking or reflecting on the problem (asinstructed by the think-aloud directions), or reading/re-reading the problem statement. Thesecategories were generated by the researchers a priori, but were revised slightly aftercategorization. Namely, a single category (that of “checking one’s work”) was removed from theoriginal list because students engaged in that activity infrequently (less than 1% of their totaltime).

Rogers put forth a theory, Diffusion of Innovations, that offers oneframework with which to examine this process. In this context, Rogers describes diffusion as“the process in which an innovation is communicated through certain channels over time amongthe members of a social system. (p. 5)”1 We focus on one aspect of diffusion, the innovation-decision process, which describes five stages the potential user goes through as they decidewhether to adopt a new innovation: knowledge, persuasion, decision, implementation, andconfirmation.1Conceptual learning is critical to

Thedesign knowledge assessment approaches reviewed here attempt to go beyond performance in aclass project to uncover what a student would do on a real project.The review starts with the approach that gathers the richest data and is the most time intensive toexecute and generally moves towards less time intensive approaches that gather less data. Thesetwo dimensions, 1) the “richness” or “depth” of data and 2) the amount of time required toexecute an approach, represent a central trade-off that researchers make when choosing whichapproach to use to assess design knowledge for their study.EthnographyWhile
