“…20 The importance of an EM in undergraduate students is welldocumented in existing literature. 1,21,22 Institutions such as The Pennsylvania State have even developed an Engineering Entrepreneurship Minor designed with the intention to provide students an explicit opportunity to develop entrepreneurial characteristics such as risk-taking, motivation, leadership, innovation, communication, and teamwork. 23 Bekki et al argue for benefits of an EM at several levels: the individual, the community, and industries and corporations.…”

This article describes the design and implementation of a sensors-based entrepreneurial-minded learning (EML) module in a large (>150 students) first-year General Chemistry II course. Students worked in groups create a novel sensor that solves an existing scientific problem or improves upon an existing sensor. Students proposed and explained the chemical background of their sensors as well as presented their final products to the class in the style of a brief elevator pitch. This module necessitates that students think innovatively, integrate knowledge from varied sources, and collaborate with their peers. The aim of implementing this EML module is to spur creative thinking, innovation, and entrepreneurial learning among first-year undergraduate chemistry students. We conducted course surveys to gauge students’ reception of this module and found that the majority of students enjoyed this activity and learned valuable skills from their experience. Moving forward, we advocate that these and similar learning modules are implemented in large, introductory course settings due to the many benefits that they offer to students.

“…Another participant also named 'identifying opportunities,' which is close to 'recognizing knowledge gaps,' as a trait associated with curiosity. Identifying opportunities is tied to creating value in the literature [44], [45]. The connection between curiosity and 'identifying opportunities' appears to be a new finding.…”

“…EML has also been shown to improve student learning as well as lead to increased perception of skills related to the entrepreneurial mindset in engineering courses, in general [7,8,9,10]. For example, students showed gains in various EML skills when engaged in modules related to failure analysis case studies such as the Hyatt Regency Hotel Walkway Collapse [7].…”

During his undergraduate training, he worked for Ethicon Endo-Surgery and AtriCure, companies that specialize in the development of novel surgical devices. While completing his doctoral dissertation, Dr. Rust served as an NSF GK-12 Graduate Fellow, which allowed him to develop hands-on engineering activities for high school students. In 2009, he joined the faculty of Western New England University where he currently holds the position of Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering. He teaches undergraduate courses in bioinstrumentation, physiology, lab-on-a-chip, and global health. Dr. Rust has published numerous papers in professional conferences and technical journals, and he is a co-inventor on four US patents. He is a member of the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE). Dr. Rust's work has been funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), National Institutes of Health (NIH), American Society for Quality (ASQ), Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN), and the Jenzabar Foundation. His research interests involve the development of point-of-care medical technologies, including bioinstrumentation for use in low-resource settings. Dr. Rust is the co-founder and Chief Technical Officer at New England Breath Technologies, which is developing a non-invasive breathalyzer for diabetes care.
