However, weacknowledge that excellent undergraduate research experiences often lead to peer-reviewed publicationsand help faculty career progression.In partnership with the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN), a workshop has been held forfour summers to help faculty integrate the entrepreneurial mindset (EM) into their work with researchstudents. We are interested in exploring the impact of this work on participation and sharing our findingswith the broader engineering community.Research questions: 1. How can faculty use an EM to adjust their approach to research activities and student mentoring? 2. What structures/practices from the workshop help faculty adjust their approach to

initial course offering, the faculty identified two principal areas ofimprovement. The first area concerned student team dynamics. Engineering and technologycurricula often focus on the technical abilities of students, neglecting the “soft skills” that willoften determine success or failure for a graduate when (s)he enters the workforce. As anexample, project management skills are often neglected in an engineering curriculum, requiringadditional training for those engineers who end up in management positions6. Skills such as theability to lead and work effectively as a member of a team are frequently identified as critical tothe success of an engineer, but typically are lacking in new engineering graduates7.

also incorporated aspects offoundations, cladding, and long span and high rise structures.The primary goal of this five course series was to give these students tools that will assist them intheir careers as project leaders so they can better produce efficient integrated designs andcollaborate effectively with their structural engineering consultants and thus lead successfulprojects. The benefits of understanding structural principles apply to both ARCH and CMstudents. Architects typically take a lead role in building design and so an understanding ofstructural principles can enhance their ability to produce design concepts that are coordinatedwith an efficient, well thought out structural system.

Across the two samples, the most popular responses relatedto integrity, safety, honesty, and improving human welfare/society. While the workshop leadersemphasized that the study of ethics involves personal values or morals as applied to dealing withother people, it is notable that responses involving society were not the most frequent answersgiven during either semester.

Experimentation with various metals could be tested under controlled conditions includingthe ability to apply lubrication or non-lubricative additives. Consistent contact between surfacescauses friction and wear resulting in the loss of structural integrity of the material over time.Therefore, lubrication and design play an intricate role in improving the life of metals operatingunder various load conditions.In this experiment, a Block-On-Ring

Most first-year seminars take place in small, discussion based settings and theyconsist of curricular and co-curricular topics that are designed to help students integrate bothacademically and socially into college life [6]. Due to the high number of credit hours requiredfor students in the GVSU School of Engineering, the first year curriculum is being reviewed toidentify how to include a mandatory first year seminar in the program plans.
