We will present redesigned existing and newly designed course learning activities as an innovative strategy to foster curiosity, connection, and creating value elements of the entrepreneurial mindset in engineering students. Cultivating such habits will allow students to be curious about new opportunities and ideas, connect varied information, and create value by solving problems.
