do not track this in all the workshop instances though.Stretch mindset The value delivery covers this to some extent. We conduct many of the workshops on a holiday with only a lunch break. This, of course, may not suffice to develop a stretch mindset.Focus on tasks The 3H model and value delivery covers this to some extent. All the activities are time bound and schedules are strictly adhered. Table 1: The sub-competencies and corresponding pedagogical techniques and contentsPrinciplesThe framework is based on the following four principles: (a) Creativity and Innovation can betaught; (b) Student-centered learning such as, team- and project
. Our purpose is to promote the development of this new kindof entrepreneurial mindset within the purview of sustainability. This new concept of sustainableentrepreneurship education embraces total activities, constructs, and programs that can be anengine for economic and social development. 16ReferencesTerence R.

… the program could be stronger if therewere some other people to step into those other roles.”Goal 3. Connect companies with an established network of mentors to provide team support.Feedback from the mid-program focus group is depicted in Appendix A and B. Resultsdemonstrated that some of the most valued events for participants were the pitch workshops,which were viewed as repeat mentoring opportunities for teams to receive feedback on theirpitch, resulting in a rating of 4.47/5.00 on a five-point scale. Another well-received mentoringopportunity was the mentor dinner (rating of 3.93/5.00) which one participant said “was by farthe best networking event and we made numerous important connections that night.”The post-program mean for mentor
. The course map module was the leastreal-life type project from students’ viewpoints.As explained earlier, in the KEEN approach, an entrepreneurially minded engineer developsabilities in business acumen, understanding customer needs and societal values and possessestechnical depth [2]. In the survey, the students were asked to assess the effectiveness of each ofthe proposed modules based on 7 complementary skills extracted from KEEN pillars. Theseskills are as follows: a) Market study and investigation b) Opportunity identification c) Assessment and evaluation of solutions for technical feasibility, and societal and economic benefits d) Communicate engineering solutions in economic terms e) Collaboration and team building skills

We introduce the concepts of intellectual property and itsprotection through patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets, and the technical tools ofmodern engineering practice, including solids modeling and rapid prototyping. Each teamproduces a working prototype of their product idea, identify the claims for a patent, develop abusiness plan for its eventual commercialization, and write a proposal for external funding.We seek to learn the design process by actually engaging in design activity that results in usefuland novel products: (a) Consumer products. Using the skills and knowledge gained from theirundergraduate education, teams of students identify a “real life” problem to be solved, anddesign a product to solve it; and/or (b

The axes are differentscales on both the x and the y-axes.Interconnections are forged not only from similar subject matter but also from co-teaching asinstructors build off of each other’s lectures. As one instructor would provide instruction for acertain set of subject matter, the other instructors could reinforce this subject with examples intheir own discipline of similar/connected topics.

surveys consisted of 5-choice Likert-scale questions that promptedstudents to rate their current level of knowledge/ability regarding: (a) opportunity recognition;(b) creating a preliminary model; (c) communicating solutions in terms of societal benefits; (d)examining technical feasibility, economic drivers, and societal and individual needs; and (e) thequantified self (QS) movement. The Likert-scale survey questions were analyzed using a one-tailed, paired t-test with a significance level of 0.05. The post-module survey also contained freeresponse questions that allowed students to provide qualitative feedback on their overalldevelopment in the module and comment for improvements and modification. Of the 35students in the course, 34 completed

Students do not always realize the multiple factors that play into shaping their experience or their capacity to, within reason, respectfully enhance their internship. This will be better communicated with future cohorts, and the FDA may initiate an orientation prior to beginning the FDA residency. b. Understanding fellow skill level The FDA has seen unprecedented growth in the number of reports submitted to the agency without increasing staff. Developing new techniques for working with big data in a different manner is a priority for the agency and a void that the FDA has limited resources to tackle. Bioinnovation fellows helped to address

Alternative: Recognizing Opportunity in the Ebb and Flow of Everyday LifeThe terminology and concepts associated with innovation and creativity are notably indistinct,overlapping, and numerous. Since Gardner proposed the concept of multiple intelligences in1983, researchers working in several different fields have identified distinct forms of intelligenceand established connections between those and (a) various forms of imagination and (b) a rangeof emotions. “Creative intelligence” is not a clearly defined concept, but it does suggest acapacity that can be cultivated and explored.In “Creative Intelligence and Its Application to Entrepreneurial Opportunity and Ethics” (2012),Murray Hunter, who is affiliated with the Centre for Communication &
