integrating entrepreneurially minded experiential STEAMlearning into a second-year engineering course - Design & Manufacturing Processes I. A total ofsix students enrolled in the course. The project required students to develop engineeringactivities to highlight water pollution via the design, fabrication, and programming of softrobotic fish. During one semester, students formed teams to work on project tasks, includingsketching out a fish, designing a mold (fish) in Solidworks, 3D-Printing the mold, fabricating thefish (pouring silicone into the mold), testing the fabricated fish, programming the fish forblinking light and vibrations. A metacognitive photovoice reflection was used to assess theproject's impacts. The preliminary thematic analysis

mechanicalengineering course on Dynamics of Machines to (1) give students access to real-world learningexperiences and (2) explore and identify the ways in which an interdisciplinary design projectthat combines key components of EM, STEAM and bio-inspiration impacts students’ learning.The results include initial findings from a thematic analysis of the data collected usingphotovoice reflections. Adopted from the relevant studies in the literature in the context of EMcurricular activities, photovoice reflections combine pictorial and textual data and constitute aportion of the project’s conclusion section submitted by students. The paper then discusses futuresteps on the use of interdisciplinary design projects which provide real-world experientiallearning

Alignment Model,In this paper, the authors attempted to investigate current engineering entrepreneurship educationthrough the lens of Constructive Alignment. We want to understand if this framework can capturethe nuts and bolts of the abovementioned diverse entrepreneurship education program designs. Theauthors proposed a modified model for the existing constructive alignment model to reflect thefeedback we received from the field.2. Methodology2.1 Data SourceTo obtain a comprehensive view of Canadian entrepreneurship education, we accessed the list ofdesignated educational institutions from the Canadian Federal government’s web tool provided byEmployment and Social Development Canada. We limited the scope of the project to educationalinstitutions

students feel valued and respected. This includes active learning style classroom activities to foster open and respectful discussions [16 - 18], encouraging active participation from all students, and being mindful of cultural sensitivity and bias in engineering classrooms. • Curriculum Development: Ensuring that the course curriculum is inclusive and reflects the diverse perspectives and experiences of all students [19] through incorporating diverse case studies, examples, and readings into course materials including lectures and design challenges. • Student Recruitment: Active recruitment of a diverse student body to participate in the course, including students from underrepresented groups in

exaggerate these existing stereotypes and biasesassociated with minoritized racial/ethnic identities. Classes that help participants develop ascientific identity, for example, could encourage interest in STEM career paths (Maton et al.,2016). Similarly, educational programs could improve the level of social support available toSTEM academics from minoritized racial/ethnic groups. When experiencing conflict betweenracial/ethnic and science identity (McCoy et al., 2015), the need for social support becomesparticularly important (Harper, 2012; Ong et al., 2018). The Need for an Intersectional ApproachAn "intersectional" approach to the study of social identities reflects the need to explore in-depththe experiences of
