the fast-changing world [5]. Along with this vision, the Kern EntrepreneurialEngineering Network (KEEN) calls engineering education for facilitating engineering students tobecome entrepreneurial-minded individuals who create societal and global value. In response tothis call, in addition to teaching students the technical knowledge of engineering, theentrepreneurship education program at our university provides students with curricularentrepreneurship education programs where students gain entrepreneurial knowledge and skills,and resources to pursue an entrepreneurial career path. We aim to not only support engineeringstudents with the resources to start their startup companies but also instill entrepreneurialmindset and self-efficacy into

Below we reflect on the observed results on students, on some ofthe lessons learned, and think about challenges for scaling up L-CAS to a college- or campus-wide level. A. Reflections on Student PerformanceAfter three years applying the L-CAS model on our pilot group, results are very encouraging.Students were retained and have persisted in their study programs at rates higher than peers inthe general CoE population. Progress in their respective study programs have been steady and ata rate that outpaces students in the general population. They have begun to show graduationrates that double that of the rest of the engineering students. Moreover, students haveaccumulated an outstanding number of high profile

creativity is encouragedin their learning, researchers [32] found that creativity fostering methods are severely missingfrom students’ perceptions. Previous researchers and educators have explored various methods to foster creativity.For instance, brainstorming is a broadly-used method [33] across many disciplines. Creativewriting could be used in various engineering fields [34]. Mind mapping is an excellent way toorganize students’ thinking and ideas [35]. Activities that allow students to explore in alearning environment (e.g., game-based learning or learning in a virtual reality environment)develop students’ creativity [36]. Methods borrowed from other disciplines could alsopromote students’ creativity, for example, methods from theatre

It involves acompetitive curriculum that creates extreme stress for many students. As stress is an inevitablepart of college, a healthy amount contributes to a students’ academic and personal success [1].However, high levels of constant stress can be detrimental to students’ mental health, leading todepression, anxiety, and other psychological distress [2

For example, in our data,interviewees explain how anxiety (a mental health challenge) caused them to need different testingformats and spaces (which qualifies for a disability accommodation from disability servicecenters). However, it is worth bearing in mind that not all mental health issues are disabilities, andnot all persons with disabilities experience mental health challenges.MethodsParticipant selectionInterviewees were selected from a list of engineering students who had previously completed asurvey about

In the manuscript “The Roles of SystemsEngineers Revisited” [Hutchison, Wade, and Luna, 2017] and Atlas 1.1 “An update to the Theoryof Effective Systems Engineers” [Hutchison, et al., 2018], researchers classified 15 systemsengineering roles into three main clusters as seen in Table 1: • Roles Focused on the System Being Developed – These roles are what may most quickly come to mind when describing a systems engineer. They are roles that align closely with the systems engineering lifecycle and the critical activities systems engineers must enable throughout the lifecycle. • Roles Focused on SE Process and Organization – These roles focus on the organizational context in which systems engineering occurs

Engineering literacy consists ofthree dimensions which are Engineering Habits of Mind, Engineering Practices, EngineeringKnowledge. The three dimensions contain core and sub-concepts and the activities in Module 3will target specific engineering literacy concepts. The Engineering Performance Matrix will beused to measure students’ development progress of the targeted engineering literacy core andsub-concepts. Additionally, the EPM could also be used to inform us on the students’ self-efficacy; a positive performance could correlate with an increase in self-efficacy.IBM and STEM Career IntentionsTo measure the success of the intervention strategy in increasing

We did not answer questions about the instrument content and instead promptedparticipants to talk about any questions, confusions, assumptions, and hypotheses they had whiletaking the survey. We analyzed interview transcriptions using thematic analysis [26] with twomajor aims in mind: identifying necessary changes of the instrument and discovering preliminaryemerging themes about engineering undergraduate students’ opportunities to practice anddevelop professional skills.Table 1 Table 2Female-identifying student
in their first summer semester (summer 2020) due to COVID-19. It is therefore verypossible that the students who stopped engineering school from the fall 2019 cohort had differentreasons for withdrawing than those in the fall 2018 cohort. With this difference in mind, it is aninteresting finding that students’ perceptions of effort costs were the most significant predictor ofstudent persistence. Those who came into engineering school expecting it to require additionaleffort, when faced with the additional challenges and effort necessitated because of COVID-19restrictions, were more likely to leave than those who perceived lower effort costs.Although it is possible to conclude that our results did not replicate and therefore the lassomethod

In the100+ years since that report, engineering educators have demonstrated that coursework designedwith engineers in mind can cultivate what we now call “professional skills.” We have not,unfortunately, settled on a preferred term to describe the education that cultivates thecompetencies that are required for success in engineering practice but not developed intraditional engineering curricula.We propose the term “humanistic” to describe courses that develop these competencies.
