Integrating Curriculum With Entrepreneurial Mindset 2.0

Taking Entrepreneurially Minded Learning to the Next Level

Registration has now closed for this workshop.

Want to expand entrepreneurially minded learning integration and build a culture and community of entrepreneurial mindset at your institution?

Workshop: Taking Entrepreneurially Minded Learning to the Next Level

Teaching and Learning

Pre-requisite: Must have completed Integrating Curriculum With Entrepreneurial Mindset (ICE) 1.0, or another Engineering Unleashed Faculty Development workshop, and the associated development and deployment of your entrepreneurially minded learning module at your specific campus.

Adding entrepreneurially minded learning (EML) modules to courses (the focus of ICE 1.0) is a great start to developing an entrepreneurial mindset (EM) in our students. However, to make it habitual in our students, we need to build a culture and community of entrepreneurial mindset at our institutions.

Integrating Curriculum With Entrepreneurial Mindset (ICE) 2.0: Taking Entrepreneurially Minded Learning to the Next Level will focus on systematically incorporating the entrepreneurial mindset across thematically related courses or programs.

The workshop will take a deep dive into expanding upon your integration of entrepreneurially minded learning by either creating new programs or training you to run your own EM faculty development at your institution. Examples may include (but are not limited to) a seminar series, redesigned existing program, co-curricular program, major, minor or track, workshops or retreats, or certificates.

Cohorts will meet throughout the year following the workshop to continue development and to share what is working and what is not.

Your Workshop Journey

Learning Objectives and Deliverables

At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

Investigate best practices for inspiring, mentoring and coaching instructors in the integration of EML in their courses to create a preliminary customized plan to implement the most impactful EML program on your campus
Draft a preliminary plan for systematically incorporating EM across a curriculum or program
Explore the EML framework in more depth to assist with designing and deploying EML throughout an entire curriculum
Acquire the tools to design your own EML teaching and learning faculty development opportunity at your institution

At the end of the year, participants will be able to:

Write a multi-year robust plan (*) that will diffuse EM throughout your campus/college/department that could be submitted to KEEN
Implement parts of the plan as a prototype
Assess the implemented parts of the plan to determine feasibility for the future

(*) The plan you design will be what will be most impactful on your campus and might include (but not limited to):

Seminar Series
Resigned existing program
Co-curricular program
Major
Minor or track
Workshops or Retreats Certificates
