Paper ID #20913Instilling Entrepreneurial Mindset by Vertical Integration of Engineering ProjectsShankar Ramakrishnan, Arizona State University, Polytechnic campus Dr. Shankar Ramakrishnan received his PhD in Electrical Engineering from Arizona State University. He is currently part of the engineering education team in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University. Currently he designs the curriculum for the freshman engineering program at the Polytechnic campus of the Arizona State University. He also designs and teaches engineering design courses in the first and sophomore years at ASU. His interests
department-wide changes in curriculum with emphasis on project- and lab-based instruction and learning. His research interests are in the areas of engineering education, semiconductor device characterization, design and simulation, signal integrity and THz sensors. He is a member of IEEE and ASEE. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 Session W1A Work-in-Progress - An Introductory Course in Electrical Engineering: Lessons Learned and Continuing Challenges Melinda Holtzman and Branimir Pejcinovic
