ourexperiences from the initial phase of implementation.Entrepreneurial MindsetEntrepreneurial mindset is a set of thought processes that help engineers to recognize opportunities tocreate value for others and have a positive impact on society. The Kern family foundation describesentrepreneurial mindset through a set of behaviors, namely the 3 C’s - Curiosity, Connections, andCreating value. We have adopted this framework in designing the education of engineering students bothto help them make greater contributions to society, and to more successfully navigate their educationalprocess.

highlight the experiences thatpromote engineering students’ interest and dedication to social justice[25]. Studies haveidentified field-based infrastructure projects, in which students design an infrastructure projectfor a community other than their own and travel to implement that project, such as EngineersWithout Borders (EWB), as one of the largest HE outlets for young engineers. For instance,EWB has been seen as an intermediate step for socially engaged engineers [26], and an importantcomponent of professional HE training [27]. Because these field-based infrastructure projects areone of the most prominent and accessible introductions in HE for undergraduate students, manyHE graduate programs provide mentorship and resources to these programs

Systemic Educational Wellness using the Eco-STEM Educational Ecosystem Health SurveyAbstractThis work-in-progress research paper introduces the Educational Ecosystem Health Survey(EEHS), an educational survey instrument designed by the Eco-STEM team at California StateUniversity, Los Angeles, a federally designated Hispanic Serving Institution. The Eco-STEMproject applies a framework of Community Cultural Wealth and explores the metaphor of ahealthy ecosystem to envision systemic change that responds to the needs and values the assetsof diverse actors, who learn together for both their individual and collective good, within theeducational “ecosystem.” As part of the project, the Eco-STEM team has developed the EEHSsurvey instrument to

Therefore, it is imperative thatmore research and practice focuses on NTSE to better understand how to support them towardscompletion of an engineering degree.The ability to create proper support structures for undergraduate students relies, to a large extent,on the capacity of different stakeholders, teachers, advisors, and administrators – tosimultaneously respond to different student needs and characteristics. For nontraditional studentsin general and NTSE particularly, success in their classes is often a function of being able tomanage other elements of their lives such as finances, commitment to family, commitment tojob, and the ability to find peer support.
