Question 1: Mention the importance of delegating responsibilities and meeting frequently with your group members? Question 2: What did you learn about leadership roles and communication in a group setting? Question 3: How did you manage different ideas and opinions in the group? Question 4: What were the challenges of working in a group setting? Question 5: What was the planning process of developing and completing your project ideas?

Entrepreneurship & Engineering Innovation

Project for Civil Engineering Freshmen to Enhance Their Entrepreneurial MindsetIntroduction In a 1972 article entitled, “Mickey Mouse for Mayor!” [1] Peter Blake said, “…it is WaltDisney Productions, and not our innumerable U.S city planning agencies and experts, that hasreally created the first, great, vibrant New Towns in America.” Walt Disney Imagineering,which is responsible for the design and construction of Disney projects, seems to understand thedesign process better than most. One might say they are particularly entrepreneurial in theirmindset and approach. They exhibit curiosity and creativity; they connect various disciplines toaccomplish major tasks; and they undoubtedly create value with nearly every project

However, as the authorserves as the liaison to engineering, not business, a similar study with engineering faculty at UBwas planned. Since every interview conducted with business faculty had been a brand newacquaintance, the author aimed to interview engineering faculty who had never requested alibrary resources guest lecture in their classes.

Furthermore, these modules include team building exercises alongwith a special leadership role that rotates weekly. A plan for implementation isdiscussed in this paper.

Thisincludes time and task management, assistance with planning an academic roadmap as well asinformation on co-curricular and extra-curricular activities that could develop one’s portfolio as achemical engineer, such as research, internships, co-ops, study abroad and (chemical)engineering clubs. Finally, the curriculum does not typically provide early information on thesteps necessary to prepare for one’s career. Failure to understand the answers to such questionscan result in students dropping the major, struggling academically, failing to make a connectionwith peers and resources, and facing challenges when applying for jobs due to inadequate careerpreparation.To address this gap in the curriculum

A singleterm capstone course might provide this, but often it is more discouraging than encouragingbecause things don’t always go as the students plan, and there is not enough time for anotheriteration. Three years of teaming increase the chance of a base hit, instead of either striking outon the full swing or bunting because it is safe.1.3 Why teach innovation?There are several reasons why it is critical to teach the innovation process.
