As a result, too much time was spent on implementing the application. 2. Some team members preferred to avoid the technical work and only contributed to the writing of the reports. 3.

Much of the recent adoption ofactive and collaborative learning, self-directed learning, problem-based and project-basedlearning (PBL), peer to peer learning, and other similar learning strategies are aimed atdeveloping innovative and entrepreneurial mindset skills, but they have been limited to CapstoneDesign courses. Our aim is to develop the entrepreneurial mindset much earlier in the studentengineers’ undergraduate education.The Iron Range Engineering program is entrepreneurial in nature, based on continuousimprovement, self-directed learning, and reflective practice.

The data evidenced acceptable(α > .70) to excellent reliability (α > .80) [12] for nearly every construct, with the exception ofpre-course responses to the Careers in Patent Law construct, which was minimally acceptable (α= .69). Given its proximity to the proposed threshold of .70 for acceptability, and the excellentinternal consistency reliability evidenced from post-course responses (α = .83), the construct wasretained as originally designed.Next, the data were aggregated into

Engineering.The philosophy for this course centered on the exploration of the similarities and differences thatdisciplines use when they approach innovation. We wanted to not only mix up the studentbackgrounds, but also increase their awareness of the innovative activities that occur acrosscampus. We intentionally place the students outside of their comfort zone repeatedly throughoutthe semester with the assignments, lectures, and activities. We also wanted to make the courseworkload challenging so that students felt a strong sense of accomplishment when finished. Thisexpectation was enhanced by requiring students to apply for enrollment by writing a brief essayabout why they wanted to enroll. Enrollment was then managed to ensure a broad mix ofstudents

What we do find is that under-represented minority populations come to UNM with less academic preparation than White andAsian populations.Other factors that impact minority education and retention are typical of large institutions.

Traditional modes of reflection include journal writing and group discussions [16-19].Journal writing provides a safe environment for students to express their thoughts and feelingsand group discussions present an opportunity to express one’s views and to learn from otherpoints of view. Students can also reflect on the impact they have by answering reflectionquestions or responding to question prompts.

In spiteof these institutional, structural, and procedural constraints, the student co-authors in this paperdeveloped a commitment to RT mainly due to the spaces that their HES graduate programopened to do so and the guidance of faculty committed to RT. Hence, as expected, their RTefforts had to be implemented somewhat haphazardly, often circumventing established academicpractices but without placing themselves in trouble.
