 Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech is currently infusing entrepreneurial minded learning and critical reflection throughout the undergraduate curriculum. One unique aspect of this effort is the creation of student­faculty partnerships that are focused on developing more entrepreneurially minded and reflective pedagogy within specific core courses. In this pilot effort, eight biomedical engineering students were recruited based on previous course experience, academic performance, and expressed interest in entrepreneurially minded learning and course development. These student partners formed a core team of course implementation assistants (CIA) that were overseen and supported by one faculty member serving as team leader. Six

today’s global economy, engineering graduates need to be prepared to possess both a strongtechnical skill set and an entrepreneurial mindset (EM) to drive innovations. According toKriewall and Mekemson [1], “an entrepreneurial minded engineer (i.e., an engineer instilled withthe entrepreneurial mindset) places product benefits before design features and leveragestechnology to fill unmet customer needs”. So, an engineer that is entrepreneurially minded canfocus on unmet customer needs and consider the benefits and impact of their designs in additionto their technical details. Many engineering programs and educators have now recognized theimportance of instilling an entrepreneurial mindset and many efforts have been made to improveprograms and

It means fighting for the resourcesneeded for proper due diligence, because the alternative could result in project failure.Furthermore, looking at the bigger picture means being responsive to changes as they occur,especially where there are external constraints outside of personal control. …you need to
