“…The temperature sensor design project described in [22] has been adapted for this course to include a problem framing and needs finding deliverable. Students are required to provide a problem statement for the need including a detailed description of the underlying need the temperature sensing circuit addresses and a list of the constraints and design criteria.…”

Educators should always seek opportunities to enhance their course material and equip students with skills to help them achieve success in their career after graduation. One skill that has drawn much attention recently is the entrepreneurial mindset. This paper presents a project-based learning approach that infuses some of the soft skills associated with the entrepreneurial mindset with the technical skills of electric circuit analysis and design through a specific multi-phase, multidisciplinary project. The course is offered to engineering students majoring in electrical, computer, mechanical, civil, and engineering education. The expected outcomes are effective collaboration and communication, persisting and learning from failure, management, and solving ambiguous problems. In addition, the paper presents all involved details in this project including the phases mentioned above, rubrics used for project evaluation, assessment of students' attitude toward this activity, assessment of project outcomes, and the related ABET student outcomes.
