, wheregraduates take jobs in finance (10-17%), consulting (7-11%), law (12-17%), and medicine (12-16%), or go on to graduate school (8-9%)3. If our best and brightest inspire to attend eliteschools and upon graduation take jobs, rather than create businesses, one may ask if ourinstructional approach to teaching entrepreneurship is changing mindsets. Upon reflection, wemust ask ourselves, “Does an educational experience infused with entrepreneurship create moreentrepreneurial minded people?”, and more specifically, “How can we assess if a change inmindset is occurring on our campus?”There are two macroscale approaches to conducting research on the subject of entrepreneurship,with one focusing on the impact of entrepreneurship in the economy and how

When comparedwith other active learning activities in the class, 100% of the students indicated that the debatesbetween students on concepts covered in the classroom were either effective or very effective inlearning the concepts covered in the class. In addition, 89% of students indicated that the caseanalysis and discussion were effective or very effective. These responses are also reflected inFigure 2, where the aforementioned activities are ranked higher than the quiz with studentcreated questions which students indicated are as useful as the lecture. On closer examination,feedback from students indicated that they felt that more time was needed to complete thisactivity

, the question remains, howshould those programs be tailored to best match the needs of teachers in rural areas? Toanswer this, we identify notable areas of low confidence and high benefit from responsesof rural teachers to the survey.From section one, the area of least confidence among rural teachers was their ability toimplement the NGSS in their classrooms, as measured by agreement to the followingstatement: “I feel confident enough in my foundational engineering knowledge levels tobe able to develop and deliver engineering content focused on applications that satisfyengineering standards in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).” (M = 3.8 on a7 point scale, centered at 4) This weakness was reflected across all demographiccategories

The first exercise requiredstudents to draw, as individuals and in teams, a nanoscaled view of low-porosity and high-toughness Portland cement mortar incorporating multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs).Supplemental questions were designed to invoke student reflections on the shape and relativesize of MWCNTs and cement hydrates, and how those physical relationships affect relevantmechanical properties of the nanoreinforced mortar. Student teams worked on a set of threehands-on active learning exercises using more familiar physical objects, on a larger scale, torepresent MWCNTs, cement hydrates, and fine aggregate. These

Thiselicitation was scaffolded using the framework shown in Figure 3. This framework drew fromthe Crucial Conversations framework (Patterson, Grenny, McMIllan, Switzler, & Roppe, 2012)to identify areas where participants had, and were lacking, resources they might draw from orcontribute to other parts of the ecosystem.

While all the components in a theme follow the same basicoperation principle and perform similar functions, their capabilities and complexities graduallygrow. The design abstraction dimension reflects the abstraction layers of an IP core shown inFigure 1(a).

Fostering students' creative thinking and unleashing theirimagination thus develops their capacity for innovation, which is now essential inengineering education.IntroductionCompetitive market structures are changing, and industry is gradually demanding anincreasingly large number of cross-disciplinary and innovative employees. Therefore,engineering education should, in addition to teaching traditional skills, also focus ontraining students in the ability to solve engineering problems innovatively. Creativethinking and an integrated curriculum can be used to develop students' creativethinking, critical reflection, and adaptation skills.Creativity education curricula have traditionally differed because there are differentopinions and explanations

While the movement of thelaser would be accomplished by the rotation of a servo-motor, the Engineering Team wasconcerned that too much time would be required to move the laser light-beam from one speakerto another resulting in brief but uncomfortable periods of silence during a performance of theproduct (e.g., 60 degrees in 0.23s).The Team brainstormed that mirrors could be employed to take advantage of the reflection of thelaser light-beam to reduce the laser rotation angle and time.

We think that this reflection iscritical for determining how to teach ethics across our curriculum. We think that case studies are good ways to teach ethics in technical courses and theyhave proven effective in some studies (Yadav, Shaver & Meckl, 2010). However, we also agreewith the literature that argues that using case studies that do not connect more closely to studentexperience, the content of a given course, and the
