Developing a Culture of Inquiry, Entrepreneurship, and Innovation.Inclusive design is defined as “design that considers the full range of human diversity withrespect to ability, language, culture, gender, age, and other forms of human difference” [3].Valuing differing perspectives and uniqueness are part of developing a culture of inquiry,entrepreneurship, and innovation. Increasingly, individualized qualities and customized designsolutions are generated with stakeholders at the table. Therefore, innovators need to think andinteract inclusively. Teams are

(2022), we argue that a Human Rights frameworkprovides an encompassing language to advance ethical goals of public welfare by focusing on thedignity and development of human rights and following universal principles of interrelatedness,indivisibility, and equity. The class analyzed in this paper centers around the assumption thathuman rights-based lectures and case studies can equip engineering students to handle both extantchallenges and the potentially disruptive impact of emerging technologies because human rightsare focused on minimum standards that uphold human dignity.

The purpose of this study is to assess the level ofawareness of engineering graduate students at an HBCU about innovation commercialization.We strongly believe that supporting the commercialization of innovations in HBCUs will likelyenable HBCUs to grow into new or stronger research-oriented institutions and ultimately havegreater economic, employment, and lifetime impact.Innovation commercialization/Entrepreneurship and engineering educationInnovation commercialization seeks to transform products/services from the laboratory to themarketplace or the end-user. Pynnönen et al, see innovation commercialization as a process thataims to create and implement a feasible business model for an innovation-based product-servicesystem in

We believe one way to do this is through thedevelopment of an EM that fosters an appreciation for curiosity, making connections, and creating value.Instilling a mindset in students to think entrepreneurially has been gaining popularity, especially in engineering [3].Faculty and administrators have been supportive of increasing entrepreneurship education in engineering classes [4].It has been commonly thought that entrepreneurial spirit is something that people are born with [5]. However,research has shown that these skills can be developed through education [6]. An EM encourages students to seek newinformation, make connections between topics, and constantly think about how the product or service they arecreating as an engineer is useful

EML has gained prominence since a significant recent source offunding in engineering education has been through the Kern Family Foundation’s KEEN EMLprograms [6]. These programs make awards to schools to integrate EML into the curriculum.Both the Federal support of convergence and the private support of EML draw on similar, but notidentical belief systems. Both center on technology as a major driver of solutions to issues facingsociety. Both have a distinctly neoliberal character - convergence, through activities designed toscale innovations beyond the traditional academic sphere into the free market, and EML’s focuson entrepreneurship.
