for manystudents. Especially as experiential learning becomes increasingly prevalent in curriculum designand further emphasized as an important educational tool, engineering technology is beginning togain traction as both a career path and a field of study, particularly among those seeking to spendless time in the classroom. For instance, in 2014, there were over 34,000 students who graduatedwith 2-year engineering technology degrees, versus 4,409 students who graduated with 2-yearengineering degrees, even though the number of graduates with 4-year engineering degreesremained substantially higher than those with 4-year engineering technology degrees [1].As this growth continues, it is increasingly evident that more research needs to be done

innovations are clear to theirintended audience [6]. In other words, the technical specifications and capabilities of aninnovation must be communicated in a way that explains and justifies its use. One method ofcommunication is through a pitch, a brief speech that encapsulates the value of an innovation. Inpractice, pitches take on many forms and are dependent on the allotted timeframe, audience, andoverall purpose (i.e., what is being asked of the audience).Though there are examples of embedding entrepreneurial mindset into undergraduateengineering education, both in Bioengineering (from introductory courses [7] to capstone design[8]) as well as other technical fields such as computing [9], it is not well integrated into manyexperiential learning

Once a team has developed enough proficiency they are left more ‘on their own’ and use the faculty as‘consultants’ as they proceed with their designs. Using some of the class time for supervised design activity helps thestudent to stay on task and do more in-depth design work. It also helps the teaching staff to see how well the studentsare learning and to provide the extra help and incentive to those who need it.This year we integrated laptop computers into three classrooms making them multi-functional rooms.
