Develop team skills by completing this activityNote that, besides skillset development, outcomes 2 and 3 are related to the 3C’s (curiosity,connections, and creating value) of the entrepreneurial mindset [5]. The following presents adetailed outline of the project module including teaming, deliverables and student assessment, aswell as deployment and staging schedule. Two sample assignment handouts are included in theappendix. Of course these are suggestions based on a 3-day 55 minutes each session classschedule; modification is expected to fit needs of individual school setting.Teaming – Team size: 3 to 4 students

The technical assessment aligns with ABET Student Outcome 6 bysplitting the outcome into six sub-outcomes and assessing each on a rubric for student projectreports. This method allows each sub-outcome to be measured, evaluated, and reported. Afterthree semesters, all student teams were performing at or above minimal level, but more study

. Identify and describe links between course knowledge and real-world systems. [connections]The research goal of the project was to determine if a structured module in an engineering coursecould help students engage more fully with psychrometrics. This module is also part of a largereffort at the University of Portland to embed the entrepreneurial mindset [1] across thecurriculum. The entrepreneurial mindset includes helping students connect engineering topicswith real world systems and building curiosity about systems. The learning objects of thismodule were aligned with this idea, and backward design was used to develop the evaporativecooling module.BackgroundThermodynamics students often struggle with the topic of psychrometrics.

the Processof Design course. Students in this course are asked to complete two projects during thecourse – these projects are concurrent with their capstone projects. In general, this is donefor two reasons. First, the design course features desired outcomes that are not typicallyaddressed by all of the capstone projects. Second, the design course can help studentsavoid pitfalls typically encountered in the second semester of the capstone project. Byhaving to complete an additional course-based project start-to-finish, these pitfalls can beavoided.Ohio Northern University is a member of the Kern Engineering Entrepreneurship Network(KEEN) [4].
