Education, 2020 First-Year Engineering Students’ Interpretation of Curiosity in the Entrepreneurial Mindset Through Reflective PracticeAbstractThis study explores how first-year engineering students interpret Curiosity, one of the 3Cs of anEntrepreneurial Mindset, when they write about themselves as learners. In 2005, the Kern familyestablished the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN), a network of 45 schoolsdedicated to instituting an entrepreneurial mindset (EM) in undergraduate engineering students.From this EM, three main concepts were developed for success: Curiosity, Connections, andCreating Value, otherwise known as the 3Cs. Previous research regarding EM and reflectivepractices in an undergraduate engineering

This paper represents the assessmentfindings from the spring 2019 implementation of the new curriculum.MethodsA mixed methods quasi-experimental investigation was used to assess student learning and EMLcompetencies. Students self-selected enrollment (72 capacity) in either one of 8 sections of theIntegrated Transportation System (ITS) course or one of 8 sections of the Advanced EnergyVehicle (AEV) course (control group). The ITS sections were the EML integrated

These practices have often beeninitiated, supported, and disseminated via the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network(KEEN), which has focused on students developing curiosity about the world around them,connecting information from a variety of sources to guide in analysis, and creating products thatprovide value to stakeholders. In the College of Engineering at Rowan University we havesought to strategically develop the entrepreneurial mindset in engineering students by building inEML principles – namely the KEEN 3C’s of Curiosity, Connections, and Creating Value – intoexisting and new first and second-year design projects.This full paper describes one such first-year project that leverages EML and Universal

Thefocus of KEEN is to introduce undergraduate students to the “entrepreneurial mindset.” Thismindset can be summarized by three words curiosity, connections, and creating value – the threeC’s [2]. KEEN has an increasing collection of exemplar work that showcases the three C’simplementation in the undergraduate program [3]. In this work we will look at how to assess thethree C’s of students in this course redevelopment.For this research project a new chemical engineering introductory module was created to givestudents experience in design and research thinking through hands-on activities linked tochemical

Combiningentrepreneurial thinking and maker technology, student-driven free-choice open-ended designprojects allow students to generate their own idea, take ownership of their design project, andresults in significant gains in creativity and entrepreneurial intentions [6].In a project-based first-year Introduction to Engineering course at Arizona State University, thedesign project was revamped in the fall semester of 2016 [7], following the KEEN (KernEntrepreneurial Engineering Network) movement [8] of fostering an entrepreneurial mindset inyoung engineers.

The impact of these activities was assessed via surveys andobservation.The survey implemented was a slightly expanded version of a survey designed to assess theengineering student entrepreneurial mindset [4]. This survey was based on multiple traits ofengineering students with an entrepreneurial mindset, including altruism, empathy, belonging,participation, and more. Questions were categorized by their relation to each of these traits.Some course-specific short-answer questions related to the course were added, but quantitativeportions of the survey considered herein were

At thattime, engineering students were entering their sophomore and higher-level courses with twoperceived deficits: they were untrained in the sorts of communication skills that their upper-division engineering courses, internships, and future careers would demand of them, and theywere unacquainted with the methods and mindset characteristic of engineering. A team oftechnical and communication faculty set out in 1991 to design a class to remedy this situation.The course was designed with a significant technical communication component with theintention of ultimately implementing this course, for engineering students, in place of theuniversity-wide first year writing requirement.The first iteration of the course was
