Entrepreneurship(FLiTE) hosted by the School of Engineering+Technology at Western Carolina University hasnow completed its second year of operation. The program aims to create graduates who bringimpactful contributions to industry employers or create new businesses with their own originaltechnology innovations. FLiTE has continued its mission to cultivate entrepreneurial and growth-oriented thinking among financially needy engineering and technology students. With the first-and second-year classes aboard, the program currently serves eighteen students. Programactivities for the 2023 calendar year included the induction of a newly recruited class, connectionwith campus resources and veteran entrepreneurs, and scholar participation in a formal

Specifically,the qualitative questions posed to students included: “How do you perceive the importance ofintegrating entrepreneurial skills into ET education?” and “In what ways do you think thisintegration could impact your future career?” This method of data collection was designed tocapture a wide range of student experiences and perspectives, laying the groundwork for a richqualitative analysis. 3.5 Data AnalysisTo interpret the collected data, a two-phase thematic analysis was used, chosen for its flexibilityand effectiveness in identifying, analyzing, and reporting patterns (themes) within

It definitely introduces some of these technical concepts but at its core, the class is about learning to be radically honest with yourself and becoming cognizant of who you are and how you approach leadership, entrepreneurship, and life in general. For me, the most valuable part of the class was the set of self analysis and introspection tools the teaching staff provided as well as the ability to hear a myriad of perspectives from entrepreneurs and VCs at various stages in their career.Student comments suggest there is something of value here, and as a teaching team, we aspire toidentify and

Employing Music as an Entry Point into ClassesFor the past 10 years, music has been employed as an entry point into classes at The Citadel.Using music as an entry point into classes has been an effective icebreaker. As class begins,students are energized and ready to learn; they are also ready to figure out how the music relatesto the topic of the day. The musical prelude to class has pedagogical benefits in enhancing thereadiness of students to start the intellectual work of the day. Typically, the music played isthematically connected to the specific course contents in terms of lyrics-daily syllabus topic.

Furthermore, the students added that some of the creative skills related tovisual design are often overlooked in engineering subjects, while a greater emphasis on suchskills is very important. The students agreed that the inclusion of arts in engineering projectscould encourage creativity and free-thinking and allow them to produce user-centered products.“The stereotype

when faced withcomplex problems they have to agentively solve, this shows that these students can successfullydo design work to frame and conceptualize large and difficult problems.There are several limitations to this work. The primary limitation lies in the differing number ofcredit hours between the two courses. This is reflected in students in the CCEE course havingmore accurate calculations when analyzing their data collected in the lab, and having moreprofessional presentation slides. However, these results show that even a 1-credit class allows fornuanced design work from first-year engineers. The sample size for this study is also relativelysmall, limiting universalizing due to small-scale statistics.AcknowledgmentsThis material is

Largely, however, CUREs have been applied within the natural sciences andthere is a lack of knowledge on the impact of CUREs on student learning in general and EML inparticular.The evaluation of EML in engineering education is well studied [19].

desire to solve problems can be used to create value for others. Groups likeKEEN have been supporting and encouraging EML in engineering education, with thepublication of the “The KEEN Framework” that includes examples of student outcomesassociated with entrepreneurial mindset [6]. Most often, these EML outcomes are incorporatedinto first year and capstone courses that emphasize the engineering design process. Courses, suchas statics, dynamics, and thermodynamics, make less frequent use of EML, possibly becauseinstructors feel like they do not have enough class time to include these elements. The aim of the“Clippers Worth the Cost” activity is to incorporate EML with course content in such a way thatstudents’ experience with the content is more
