An additional question raised by Lee regarding the means and methods of providing studentswith “cost awareness” is inconclusive and reflects the diversity of the professionals surveyed. Insummary, Lee states architectural design education is more focused on the ideology of designinstead of socially responsible design, inferring that teaching students the relationship betweendesign and costs is both appropriate for the development of students who will be practical emerg-ing professionals. Davis, Fuller and Petry discuss the importance of making their architectural engineeringtechnology curriculum more integrative to reflect the actual practice of architecture that studentsemerging as professionals will

in the modern context. Although entrepreneurship has traditionallybeen a focus primarily in business curriculum, engineering programs have recently recognized itsvalue for developing important skills in engineering students such as collaboration,communication, and creativity. However, unlike design, the implementation of engineeringentrepreneurship into traditional engineering departments is not yet widespread, due to limitedtime and space within both curricula and individual courses, and due to difficulties adaptingentrepreneurship education pedagogies to be useful in an engineering context.In this work, we discuss Lean Launch, an entrepreneurship curriculum that can be easilyimplemented into engineering programs and which shares many

Education, 2016 Promoting the Entrepreneurial Mindset through Faculty DevelopmentAbstractOur university is part of a group of about 20 universities that are seeking to improve ourgraduates’ capabilities by helping them to develop an entrepreneurial mindset while they are yetstudents. While technical knowledge is essential to engineering, engineers will be more likely tofind success and personal fulfillment when they couple these skills with a mindset to createextraordinary value for others.This perspective is not innate to many students, but they can be exposed to these concepts usingthe curriculum, if faculty themselves know how to do this. This leads to the critical issue ofappropriate faculty development. Our program is committed to

Of these, the skills associated with design arealready integrated into our engineering curriculum to various degrees of success, thebiggest example being the capstone design experience usually positioned in the senioryear. Additional design experiences in the earlier years also exist in many curriculums,but in most cases the focus is on developing a purely technological solution to aspecifically stated need. The skills associated with discovering opportunities, assessingtheir potential impact, are acting upon viable opportunities are rarely, if at all, covered inthe standard engineering curriculum.
