AB  - At the author’s institution, Manufacturing processes is a technical elective course for juniors in Mechanical Engineering discipline. Project based learning techniques (PBL) have been known to underscore skill based learning outcomes. For this course, PBL was enriched by including Entrepreneurial Minded Learning (EML) activities. EML’s are designed to make students more curious about new information, teaches them about making connections with the given information and encourages them about creating value by identifying opportunities and working in partnerships with fellow students. It also teaches them to explore a contrarian view of accepted solutions. In manufacturing processes class, two EML modules were developed and deployed in stages. These were (i) manufacturing process selection activity and (ii) activity related to environmental and economic impact of manufacturing processes. Both activities included a stakeholder or a customer and unexpected design alternatives. In addition, unlike conventional PBL, the project information was kept ambiguous by design and their customer was acting problematic to encourage students to demonstrate constant curiosity about the changing world. As an example, during the implementation of manufacturing process selection activity, students interacted with the customer and selected the best manufacturing process for a product based on quantity produced and properties (strength, finish, tolerances, etc.) needed. Students then presented their work to the customer. A few assessments were implemented including written reports, presentations, peer evaluation on teamwork, and a survey.  By implementing entrepreneurial minded learning experience, in coursework, students will not only learn the theory, but prepare students to identify problems and solve them in innovative ways.
