]–[50], sharedexperiences (e.g., enrollment at the same university), and values. In that context, it is important for female students to see successful female STEMentrepreneurs for both symbolic as well as functional reasons [46], [51]. Symbolically, exposureto female STEM entrepreneurs can signal to female students that STEM entrepreneurship is notonly for men and that women can be successful in entrepreneurship. Functionally, femalestudents are likely to pay greater attention to female STEM entrepreneurs and take an interest inhearing about the challenges they have faced and how they have integrated the seeminglyconflicting social roles of being an entrepreneur and a woman. Consequently, we propose thatfemale students who are part of

Teaching and Learning(associated with the norm of femininity). This is especially relevant as instructors aretypically hired without any formal training in pedagogy and have limited support orincentive to improve courses year-to-year nor to integration of curriculum beyond theirown specific teaching requirements. This challenge has been exacerbated by theaccelerating pace of educational technology available to both instructors and students.Examples of engineering leadership concepts that are delivered to engineering studentsand could support a cultural shift in instructors that would increase the femininity normassociated with non-technical content would be the exploration of personal values andorganizational values related to vision, mission and

. This theme suggested a stronger emphasis onleadership education throughout the engineering curriculum. ABET’s current leadership-related student outcome 3.5 requiresengineering program students to demonstrate, “an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provideleadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives,” [7]. This studentoutcome suggests a requirement for students to grasp and apply leadership principles in team-based work but lacks a direct outcomefor educational institutions to pivot for an integrated approach to leadership education in engineering. Participants suggested this lackof integration prohibits the ability for students to link and apply

Engineering consultants communicate withclients and other stakeholders frequently, primarily work in teams, and collaborate closely withclients in the development of custom solutions [17]–[22]. Engineers in these firms can also moveswiftly from one engagement to another, where the team, client, and technical nature of the jobmay be different depending on the specific requirements of the project [19].

What is unique about this course is the integration of an auxiliary course named“Persuasive Communications for Technical Managers” (or “Communications”), which goeshand-in-hand with the Capstone course; it coaches students on indispensable communicationskills using interactive scenario-based simulations of real-time workplace conversations withupper management and direct reports, as well as providing guidelines on oral and writtencommunications techniques. This Capstone course utilizes a project-based learning approach and the Communicationscourse as a supplementary tool. As an outcome, students

Drawing from ABET intended outcomes and the needs of early careerengineers, this qualitative study explores how undergraduate students apply what they learn inthe EML course in curricular (i.e., senior design projects and other significant universityprojects) and non-curricular ways.Literature Review Evaluating the effectiveness of university engineering programs has been critical to thedevelopment of global engineering education in the last 30 years.
