technologies are increasingly automating simple, common,repetitive tasks liberating engineers to perform complex, unusual, novel tasks and giving them thetime to innovate and create products, processes, and systems to improve human lives. In thiscontext, creative thinking emerges as an increasingly more important core competency for theengineering workforce. Currently, although creativity is deemed to be important in engineering [1,2], creative thinking skill development is addressed haphazardly or not at all in engineeringeducation.Evidence suggests that personality traits that are related to creative characteristics and behaviors(e.g., out-of-the-box answers to standard questions) are not favored in classroom settings that aredesigned for

) recentlyintroduced similar programs called Innovation Corps (I-Corps), which are designed to lead smallteams through customer discovery and business model validation during a seven- to eight-weekbootcamp. Both programs are widely recognized as effective training camps that “preparescientists and engineers to extend their focus beyond the university laboratory” andcommercialize new technology faster [7]. These programs are primarily intended for graduatestudents and start-up business leaders, yet there is a need to engage students in entrepreneurialactivities sooner in their education [8]. One study by Pellicane and Blaho [8] adapted the I-Corpsmodel to an undergraduate course and found that students who participated had significantlyincreased collaboration

This paper reviews thedata from the study to explore how concept maps are received by undergraduate computer science andengineering students. The results indicate that computer science students generated an average of 13concepts and scored 2.15 out of a 3.00 on the standard rubric. This is well aligned with baseline data fromthe literature for other groups of undergraduate students.IntroductionScience, engineering, technology, and mathematics (STEM) undergraduate students beginning theircollege experience may not yet see the connection between their theoretical studies and their futurecareers.

Of the twenty-five current fellows,seventeen are in STEM majors with fifteen of them enrolled in an engineering or computer scienceprogram. The fellowship admitted its first class in the fall of 2021, so the first fellows are now intheir third year of the program. Despite the predominance of technical students in the fellowship,entrepreneurial interests range widely, including product based technical ventures, service basedventures focused on sustainability, and creation of non-profit organizations for social
