贡献：加深理解基于项目的多学科设计和创新课程对学生工程设计思维的影响，特别是关于问题框架。背景：工科学生已经接受了创业相关的教育，但主要是从学生的自我效能感或创业意识或技术创新意识方面来讨论其影响，主要依靠学生的自我报告数据。研究问题：1)在学习了整合创业活动的基于项目的设计课程后，本科生如何感知创业心态和工程设计思维之间的关系？ 2)在学习了这门课程后，他们对设计情境的构建有何不同？方法：本定性案例研究涉及一所理工学院辅修设计与创新专业的14名本科生。为了更系统地收集和分析数据，基于问题框架和创业工程思维的认知操作的文献，开发了一个概念框架。主要数据是通过半结构化访谈和关注问题框架的活动前后收集的。通过基于概念框架的多种定性分析方法对访谈和活动数据进行分析。研究发现：通过对访谈结果的分析，揭示了参与者对创业思维在工程设计实践中的作用的看法；通过对问题框架活动前后的比较，发现在课程结束后，参与者倾向于更多地关注客户和社会问题元素，而较少关注技术和业务问题元素。然而，为了更好地理解这种变化对他们的设计能力的影响，仍然存在一些重要的问题。
Contribution: Increased understanding of the influence of a project-based multidisciplinary design and innovation course on students’ engineering design thinking, specifically regarding problem framing. Background: Entrepreneurship-related education has been offered to engineering and technology students, but its influence has been discussed mainly in terms of students’ self-efficacy or awareness of entrepreneurship or technological innovation, relying mostly on their self-reported data. Research Questions: 1) How do undergraduate students perceive the relationship between entrepreneurial mindsets and engineering design thinking after a project-based design course that integrates entrepreneurial activities and 2) How differently do they frame a design situation after this course? Methodology: This qualitative case study involved 14 undergraduate students pursuing a minor in design and innovation at a polytechnic institute. For more systematic data collection and analysis, a conceptual framework was developed based on literature about cognitive operations for problem framing and entrepreneurial engineering mindsets. Primary data were collected through semi-structured interviews and pre- and post-activities focused on problem framing. The interview and activity data were analyzed through multiple qualitative analysis approaches based on the conceptual framework. Findings: The analysis of the interview responses reveals the participants’ thoughts on the role of an entrepreneurial mindset in engineering design practice, and the comparison between their pre- and post-problem framing activities shows that they tended to focus more on Customer and Social problem elements and less on Technical and Business problem elements after the course. However, important questions remain to better understand the impact of this change on their design abilities.
