= Priority 2: Freshman Engineering Curriculum Reform<br/> =
<span style="font-size:small"><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: black">The Freshman Engineering Curriculum Reform aims to revamp the second semester design course (ENGR 1182) that all engineering freshmen and those pursuing an engineering minor are required to take. Traditionally, this course is very linear, the curriculum does not promote creativity as much as it should, and does not encourage students to make connections between what they design and how it could create social or economic value. This project is part of a KEEN grant project to promote Entrepreneurial Minded Learning across engineering education at OSU.</span></span>

It is also a stepping stone for incorporating more entrepreneurial development on campus that involves students and student-led projects. The peak of learning happens at action and implementation, so it seems counter-intuitive for business students to be learning solely from lecture. This initiative will push the bounds of the current curriculum for multiple classes and encourage more project-based work and real-world learning outcomes.</span></span> <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">It is also aimed at encouraging students to start businesses and then house those businesses on-campus, therefore encouraging more students to become involved in start-up initiatives during the school year and beyond.

<li>'''Description''': Currently there is no support for student founders on OSU's campus. Student entrepreneurs mostly have to create solutions and make decision completely by themselves without any mentorship from industry experts and this barriers are turning many students away from pursuing their startup ideas. The fellows plan on working with the administration as well as other related parties in the Colubmus area to eventually open up an accelerator program where student founders can be put through a rigorous program where their will fine tune their ideas and get the funding and mentorship they need to successfully launch their business.</li>
