Content isaligned with the Center’s and the NSF ERC program’s shared goal of educating students in fiveareas: Entrepreneurship, Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment, Leadership, Diversity, Equity andInclusion, and Professional Development.The five-week, one-credit course was developed through collaboration among faculty at each ofthe partner universities. The course included both synchronous and asynchronous componentsdelivered through video conferencing and a common learning management system to studentsfrom the four

A number of state governments, universities, non-profitorganizations, and for-profit institutions have also played an important role in enablingtechnology commercialization by offering guidance and assistance to entrepreneurs2. Theseefforts have helped many new technologies to come to fruition, including life-saving drugs andmedical devices, consumer products, communication devices, clean energy, and safe foodproducts3.In order to succeed, technology commercialization must involve properly trained scientists andengineers not only at the birth of a technology but also during the subsequent phases of itscommercialization.

In this seminar class format, the students would be mentored bythe seminar leader as they create a detailed implementation plan with the research professor. Partof this plan would be to identify the method by which the students would be given a small butappropriate equity position in the commercialization venture in return for their becoming the lowcost startup team for the professor.By the start of the fall semester, the students would have a comprehensive commercialization planin place and would begin implementation of the plan with the research professor under thementorship and monitoring of the classroom professor in MGMT 5383L

Simple cameras will be used for robotic localization and navigation on & off the board. The highschool students will be able to program the robots with different behaviors and plan/play different typesof games/activities. This will increase their interest in the STEM curriculum and enhance their soft skills(team building, project management, communication, systems thinking, abstract thinking, and problemsolving); this will also bring to the fore innovation and entrepreneurship, two hallmark qualities of theUS economy, since these applications can be marketed, with

Apilot version of the course, Global Business Communication (GBC), was offered for the firsttime during fall 2006. The second course in the sequence, Technology Entrepreneurship, is anew course offered through Baylor’s Business School, in which adequately prepared businessstudents may also enroll.Like the abroad course, the on-campus GBC course must substitute for existing courses in theECS curriculum. Engineering Economic Analysis is one of the possible course substitutions.Baylor engineering seniors perform on the Fundamentals of Engineering exam at a near 100%pass rate.

Yes, this is exactly the kind of courseengineers practicing in industry want. They are seeking practical courses focused onbusiness issues. Was the second on-line version better than the first? Yes!

Preliminary results will be presented in the NSF Grantees Poster Session.IntroductionEducation for innovation is increasingly recognized as vital in today's world, with numerousstudies highlighting its significance [1-4]. Innovation is essential for addressing the GrandChallenges in environmental engineering identified by the National Academies [5]. Whileinnovation can take various forms, it typically involves introducing new or significantlyimproved products, services, or
achievement in their courses (by URM and whitestudents), and were perceived more positively by the students [13] - [15].Although the two areas—faculty instructional practices and mindset beliefs directly impactstudent outcomes, the interplay between the two factors has yet to be explored. In other words,the question-- how faculty beliefs affect the choice of their instructional practices in theclassroom is yet to be fully explored. There is some evidence to suggest that growth and fixedmindsets impact instructional decisions. For example, a study by Aragón, Eddy, and Graham[16] shows that instructors with fixed mindsets about intelligence were less likely to bepersuaded to use active learning techniques in their classes. In addition, Richardson
