Fostering an Entrepreneurial Mindset in Systems Simulation Michael E. Kuhl Industrial and Systems Engineering Department Rochester Institute of Technology Rochester, NY 14623AbstractSimulation is tool frequently used by companies when designing systems to evaluate alternativesystem designs. In particular, simulation is employed when the dynamic behavior of a system isnot well understood and the decisions that are being made have significant economic or socialimpacts. However, courses in systems simulation typically focus on the technical and statisticalaspects of model building and the comparison of

Education, 2020 First-Year Engineering Students’ Interpretation of Curiosity in the Entrepreneurial Mindset Through Reflective PracticeAbstractThis study explores how first-year engineering students interpret Curiosity, one of the 3Cs of anEntrepreneurial Mindset, when they write about themselves as learners. In 2005, the Kern familyestablished the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN), a network of 45 schoolsdedicated to instituting an entrepreneurial mindset (EM) in undergraduate engineering students.From this EM, three main concepts were developed for success: Curiosity, Connections, andCreating Value, otherwise known as the 3Cs.

students’flexibility to take courses outside their majors. Engineering faculty have expertise and teach inthe narrow areas within the discipline in which they were trained. Yet, the desire for engineeringgraduates to possess skills and mindset that transcend the topics typically included in traditionalengineering programs is ever-present. One example of such a challenge is the initiative to equipengineering graduates with an entrepreneurial mindset. In this context, an entrepreneurialmindset is defined by the KEEN 3C’s Framework: developing students to be curious to theopportunities presented by unsolved problems in an ever-changing world; with the skills to makeconnections within and between topics that require a multidisciplinary perspective; while

ConclusionsFrom this effort a number of conclusions can be drawn, specifically: Since most of the students end up working in industry, it was rewarding to see students adopt an entrepreneurial mindset in the context of dynamics. Overall, the student survey suggests that student’s interest in dynamics was positively impacted. All students became aware of what a Business Plan is and based on their

often perceived by students as heavily lecture-based,with a predominance on theory and mathematics and without translatable activities [1-2]. Thiscan be problematic for students, who often do not fully understand the distinction betweendifferent disciplines or are wary about choosing an engineering major without connections toreal-world applications [3-4]. Vanderbilt University is a partner in the KEEN, KERNEntrepreneurial Engineering network. The goal of the network is to increase student’s“entrepreneurial mindset”. This mindset can be summarized by the 3C’s: curiosity, connectionsand creating value [5].

These practices have often beeninitiated, supported, and disseminated via the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network(KEEN), which has focused on students developing curiosity about the world around them,connecting information from a variety of sources to guide in analysis, and creating products thatprovide value to stakeholders. In the College of Engineering at Rowan University we havesought to strategically develop the entrepreneurial mindset in engineering students by building inEML principles – namely the KEEN 3C’s of Curiosity, Connections, and Creating Value – intoexisting and new first and second-year design projects.This full paper describes one such first-year project that leverages EML and Universal

Students are given flexibility in their experimentaldesigns which allows for creativity and curiosity.
