“…Teams are asked to rank the systems in terms of which technology is the most promising and worth investment and prepare a poster for presentation in defense of their selection. This module adopts the jigsaw cooperative learning strategy in its implementation (Tabrizi, 2017). In this module, the main EML objectives include (a) stimulating students' curiosity; (b) encouraging teamwork, collaboration, and connection; and (c) value creation to a customer.…”

Extant literature illustrates that complementary efforts, such as Entrepreneurially Minded Learning, add an important dimension to the training of the next generation of engineers and innovators, providing them with multiple perspectives and a pathway for linking technical concepts to societal challenges. Nationwide initiatives, such as the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN), have focused specifically on infusing Entrepreneurially Minded Learning into curriculum content and delivery, training both faculty and students to have the know-why in addition to the know-how of engineering topics. KEEN has established a framework that supplements engineering skills already taught in classrooms with outcomes that support the development of an entrepreneurial mindset. The framework is rooted in fostering the 3Cs of entrepreneurial mindset: Curiosity, Connections, and Creating Value. In this study, we contribute a series of concepts infusing KEEN-inspired modules into a three-course sequence in Dynamics and Controls. We provide an overview on each of the modules, highlighting the KEEN framework objectives. We present postcourse student questionnaire responses illustrating student perception of entrepreneurial mindset and the 3Cs as it relates to engineering and addressing technological challenges. We provide lessons learned and sufficient detail of all modules for replication in other Dynamics and Controls course sequences as well as supporting student data.

He currently has over 18 years of teaching experience at the university level and taught over 40 different graduate and undergraduate courses in electrical engineering, systems engineering, physics and mathematics. He has over 30 published papers and/or technical presentations while spearheading over 40 international scientific and engineering conferences/workshops as a steering committee member while assigned in Europe. Professor Santiago has experience in many engineering disciplines and missions including: control and modeling of large flexible space structures, communications system, electro-optics, high-energy lasers, missile seekers/sensors for precision guided munitions, image processing/recognition, information technologies, space, air and missile warning, missile defense, and homeland defense.His interests includes: interactive multimedia for e-books, interactive video learning, and 3D/2D animation. Professor Santiago recently published a book entitled, "Circuit Analysis for Dummies" in 2013 after being discovered on YouTube. Professor Santiago received several teaching awards from the United States Air Force Academy and CTU. In 2015, he was awarded CTU's Faculty of the Year for Teaching Innovations. Professor Santiago has been a 12-time invited speaker in celebration of Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month giving multi-media presentations on leadership, diversity and opportunity at various military installations in Colorado and Wyoming.
