Entrepreneurial Mindset was alsoreinforced in Design class and applied in project work.This paper describes the experiences of faculty and students in the implementation ofentrepreneurial mindset modules adopted in our program, as well as preliminary results of thisrapid deployment in an interdisciplinary engineering program. We use a case study format toreport auto-ethnographic stories from both faculty and student perspectives.Early results are promising.

multidisciplinary approach aligns well with STEM problem solving. Despite its advantages, implementing education, where hands-on learning is a critical PBL poses challenges. Resource demands, assessment component in fostering engagement and improving complexities, and the need for faculty training can hinder retention [4]. An illustrative example comes from a its adoption. Successful integration requires institutional dynamics course where students struggled with pulley commitment, collaboration with industry, and robust systems. Initially, the concept remained abstract despite evaluation models. Blended learning and online resources have shown promise in expanding PBL’s reach

The department features a broad-based engineering curriculumdevoted to a liberal and integrative engineering education in the context of the University’stradition of the liberal arts and sciences. This mission of the department is explained in themission statement of the department. The Engineering Science curriculum emphasizes an in-depth understanding of the fundamentals of the physical sciences, mathematics, and engineering sciences, which form the foundation for technical work in all fields of engineering. Some specialization is available through elective courses in chemical, electrical and mechanical

We should be intentional about usingassessment results in an actionable, impactful way. The tenets of CIPF deem both assessment ofteaching and student learning essential. Assessment is an imperative and integrative componentof critical pedagogy that addresses classroom diversity. If assessment is used properly, it cantransform the hegemonic relationship between students and instructors. One study has shownthat open-minded, approachable, and flexible instructors create an environment where studentsare motivated to learn because such an environment allows students to challenge each

These oversights may have caused the students to question the relevance of the teamwork activities to their design project, in turn, leading them to label the exercises as “busy work” (a term they use all too readily for many of the assignments in DTC, even those that they come to value later in their undergraduate career). The syllabus also did not explicitly list how the teamwork assignments would be weighted in the final course grade. While they were included as part of the student’s “individual grade,” this only comprised 10% of the final grade, of which, the teamwork assessments were only a small part.2) Adding eight additional exercises to an already crowded curriculum was a mistake. The principal
