Paper ID #38780Using an Entrepreneurial Mindset and Biomimicry-Based Design to BetterEngage First-Year Engineering StudentsMr. Randy Hugh Brooks, Texas A&M University Howdy, After 23 years in Telecom building LD, internet, and email platforms and networks, I observed that the front line personnel that I was hiring didn’t have what I considered to be skills that they should be bringing to the table. I began investigating why, and that led me to high school. Alas, I began my journey in Education in 2010 inhabiting the classrooms of Lovejoy High School, where my two daughters attended. I redubbed my
application of math and science, we mustprepare engineering students to carry out their work with these responsibilities in mind. One wayto do so is implementation of the Entrepreneurial Mindset (EM) which cultivates the significanceof curiosity, making connections, and creating value. An EM promotes information gathering,inter-topic connection making, and constant valuation of an engineer’s product or service and theways in which it supports society. While an EM appears business venture-centered at firstglance, its support and application in the engineering classroom has been growing due to itsrelevance to the role engineers play today [8], [9]. For example, corporations have been callingon higher institutions to graduate more global engineers that

In anintroduction to engineering class, many first-year students do not see the connection of small,one-off lab activities, to their engineering identity and the EM. The first year is a critical time forstudents to develop their sense of self and identity. The purpose of this paper was to determine ifintroducing a

SLU, she teaches courses such as Engineering Fundamentals, Statics, Dynamics, Thermodynamics, and Heat Transfer. She has also taught other subjects, including Fluid Dynamics, University Physics, Introduction to Chemistry, and Process Design, at different institutions of higher education in the past. Originally from Guanajuato, Mexico, Dr. Marmolejo obtained her Undergraduate Degree from the University of Guanajuato before pursuing her Graduate Degree at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, Norway. Currently, her research interests revolve around enhancing engineering education and fostering an entrepreneurial mindset in learning environments.Dr. Chris Carroll P.E., Saint Louis
, where he currently teaches first-year programming and user interface design courses, and serves on the college’s Capstone Design Committee. Much of his research involves design education pedagogy, including for- mative assessment of client-student interactions, modeling sources of engineering design constraints, and applying the entrepreneurial mindset to first-year programming projects through student engagement in educational software development. Estell earned his BS in Computer Science and Engineering degree from The University of Toledo and both his MS and PhD degrees in computer science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.Dr. Stephany Coffman-Wolph, Ohio Northern University Dr. Stephany
throughout themodule. In the first class meeting, students first watched the 21-min 1999 Nightline episode,“Deep Dive” [3], where members of product design firm, IDEO, redesigned a traditionalshopping cart in five days. After watching the video, students discussed design strategies thatthey saw IDEO team members using, while also pointing to key elements of IDEO’s workplaceculture that help support and sustain high levels of innovation at IDEO. Creativity heuristics anddesign mindsets were also introduced that included lateral thinking [4], analogical reasoning andproductive thinking [5] as ways to stave off limits to creative thinking like idea fixation [6] [7]. During the first two class meetings, students working in teams of four were

students are supposed to utilize MS Office and MATLAB to complete those assignments. There are weekly lab quizzes, two midterms, and a comprehensive final exam. Lab assignments are predominantly assessed for technical writing goals. Students are required to deliver executive summaries, lab reports, lab memos, and project notebooks. Participation grades are given to encourage attendance and class discussions and interaction with the instructors.Second Semester Course - Fundamentals of Engineering II Curriculum: Students continue to explore engineering disciplines in this course by learning about graphic design, 3D modeling, and spatial visualization. Topics include the engineering design process with an entrepreneurial mindset, problem-solving
