-efficacy, lack of engineering identity, and low perceived levels of careerpreparedness have all been shown to play a major role in the loss of potential engineers [1]-[3].One factor that may be contributing to this dilemma is that many engineering programs focus onteaching only technical knowledge rather than a combination of technical and professional skillsand empathetic design. Students in such programs are often left feeling unprepared to work in aprofessional business environment where they are tasked with creating effective solutions forreal customers [4]-[5]. To promote more confidence in engineering students and improvestudents’ success in engineering careers, many degree programs have explored the incorporationof entrepreneurial

During spring, summer and fallsemesters, students are guided to conduct interviews with potential users of their innovations andrefine their entrepreneurship skills. After seven years of successfully impacting students (blindfor review 1 and 2) a team of investigators is looking into aspects of the training that might havebeen unperceived during prior assessments. In this study, we analyze via quantitative andqualitative methods, the answer to the research question: What aspects of the I-Corps Siteprogram experience could be enhanced or modified based on performance and perceptions ofparticipants?

As students are busy and feelingoverwhelmed, they have limited structured opportunities for reflecting on and developing theirpurpose and professional identities. In STEM environments, students may find that they do notfit into a predominant narrative of just “being good at math” and thus lack an adequatejustification for entering an engineering field. Similarly, they may find that they areunderrepresented demographically, underresourced compared to some peers, or unsure how theybelong in general, even if they are interested in their field of study. These students may find itdifficult to feel comfortable taking advantage of opportunities available to them on campus
