When you integrate entrepreneurial mindset (EM) into first-year programs, you create an impactful mechanism for developing entrepreneurially-minded engineering graduates - as you can see in this concept map:
First, you must understand and embrace the connection between traditional first-year engineering curriculum and EM. The EMIFY project can help!
First-year educators from across the network have shared activities, projects, and other content to help you catalyze and facilitate adoption of EM activities. These GIFTS - Great Ideas for Teaching Students - include design activities on a short timescale, design projects on a long timescale, technical skill building, professional skill building, mindset/attitude activities, and full course frameworks.
