Real World Case Studies
Summary
Real world case studies help students understand how technical concepts apply to engineering, leading to new products and businesses.
Description
What if your students could experience a new type of case study - connected to real-world opportunities with industry experts?
Real world case studies help students understand how course concepts coupled with curiosity, making connections, and creating value can lead to new products and businesses. Also, understanding how course concepts apply to real world engineering establishes the relevance of the material, enhancing students' motivation to learn.
This collection of case studies can help make entrepreneurially minded learning a part of mainstream engineering education.
Learning Objectives
These case studies are intended to illustrate ways that entrepreneurially minded engineers (EMEs) have capitalized on their knowledge of specific engineering topics covered in typical undergraduate courses.
As they are mostly told directly from the entrepreneurially minded engineer’s (EME’s) and/or inventor-innovator’s perspectives, they reveal passion and persistence, setbacks and spectacular value-adding successes. They are stories that help all involved develop an entrepreneurial mindset and the opportunity to impact skillsets.
