Abstract

At NC State University we have begun a new program to imbue the Mechanical Engineering curriculum with Entrepreneurially-Minded Learning (EML). EML has been adopted by a growing number of universities to help faculty and students focus on curiosity, connections between material and the real world, and creating value in their own work for all stakeholders. NC State is new to teaching this mindset around the technical content for our students. This paper will present the process we took to initiate this program, the next steps we plan for it, and a description of the changes made to the courses. More information about the projects will be published on Engineering Unleashed in the coming year.
