The prompts used in this study are listed below.Photovoice Reflection Prompt A (Entrepreneurial Mindset): The entrepreneurial mindset is defined as“the inclination to discover, evaluate, and exploit opportunities.” Explain how participating in the newlydeveloped curriculum incorporated the entrepreneurial mindset, and lessons learned relevant to theentrepreneurial mindset.Photovoice Reflection Prompt B (STEAM): STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, math)goes one step beyond the well-known STEM to acknowledge the importance of integrating the arts andhumanities into more analytical coursework such as that found within engineering. Art can beincorporated through pieces, process, and movements
Engineering, University of Arizona, Arizona, USAAbstractPrograms and resources aimed at fostering innovation and an entrepreneurial mindset are now commonacross many institutions of higher education. However, industrial engineering students often engageminimally with available innovation and entrepreneurship (I&E) opportunities at our institution. Thisproject sought to address this challenge at a large public land-grant institution, aiming to increase studentengagement with these resources. Recognizing that engineering students tend to prioritize activities thatearn course credit, the project focused on bridging the gap between entrepreneurship and engineering. Theprimary objective of the project was to redesign a required third-year industrial
sustainability andinnovation.4.1. Generative Design • By leveraging AI-driven optimization tools in generative design, learners are introduced to resource-efficient strategies that minimize material waste and energy consumption, promoting sustainable engineering practices [19]. • This module empowers students to adopt a forward-thinking, entrepreneurial mindset by exploring innovative design approaches that challenge conventional manufacturing paradigms [20]. • It demonstrates how computational tools can transform the product development process, encouraging the creation of environmentally conscious solutions tailored to market needs.4.2. Green Manufacturing (Bottle-to-Filament Conversion) • This module
