Statistically, most entrepreneurial ventures fail, withdisproportionately large value being created from a minority of entrepreneurial endeavors [8].Given this fact, until we find ways to drastically increase the success rate of entrepreneurialventures

In other words, a good design is also always a good pieceof art. After VCU’s presentation on the fundamentals of art and design, the engineeringteams were now tasked with presenting and explaining core engineering aspects. Theirmain objective was to share concepts, terminologies, and methodologies that could beapplied in tandem with and would complement the artistic design process discussed byVCU.

In fact, many institutions of higher education offer courses andprograms that are specifically designed with this goal in mind. While initially the main objectiveof entrepreneurship education was encouraging students to create new ventures, more recentlythere has been a shift in focus to a broader concept which emphasizes entrepreneurship as a wayof thinking and behaving [1]. A student with this mentality would not only be successful indeveloping startups and ventures but can also take the creativity and self-confidence to any otherjob in industry or academia.Developing an entrepreneurial mindset and building self-confidence can (and should

For example, one junior said that the minor,“emphasizes creativity which, for engineers, we don’t really have that opportunity in our otherclasses.” Other elements of this “different way of thinking” included constantly searching foropportunities to create solutions and considering the next step to fix problems.

Global competency can be defined broadly as “having an open mind whileactively seeking to understand cultural norms and expectations of others, leveraging this gainedknowledge to interact, communicate and work effectively outside one’s environment”1.Measuring global competency levels before and after participation in cultural programs maytherefore be a potentially effective method for measuring changes in students’ ability to work ina global environment.

On the other hand, GD can use PD for design problems that couldbe modeled parametrically, but some GD problems could not be done so [6]. Oxman [7] proposedparametric design thinking (PDT) as “a continuity and change within the evolution of designthinking” in the context of architecture design. Similar to PDT, GDT is highly context and tool-based. The inclusive concept model for DT and EST [8] suggests that EST is a necessary skill forDT, which is supported by [8] and [9].
