at the Civil andEnvironmental Engineering and Construction Management Department at a University in theUnited States. The study was a four-week assignment integrated into two senior-level courses: 1.the capstone project course in two semesters, 2. the pre-construction management course in onesemester. This study uses participatory action research (PAR) as a data collection instrument.PAR is a qualitative approach in which researchers work collaboratively with the participantsubject population to collect data, reflect and take action. Photovoice, commonly linked to PAR,is used to collect and explore qualitative data, give a unique depth of understanding to theresearch questions identified, and offer new insights and perspectives toward

ofinterdisciplinarity and stakeholder engagement. We will close with both a section on “lessonslearned” throughout this process, as well as a section on the “deliverables” that have emergedfrom this process thus far. These ‘deliverables’ tie to benefits that, we believe, will enhancecareer preparation for students.theories of interdisciplinaritySeveral theories could have supported our work on developing a program in SocialEntrepreneurship. We are aware of the literature suggesting that theories of community-engagement (Tekic et al., 2022; Wallerstein et al. 2020), and even collaborative building () couldhave been used to guide this project. However, the development of this project was madepossible by a grant from funders who have a particular interest in

, and measured risk [3]. Faculty have incorporated the entrepreneurial mindset[4], head/heart alignment and passion finding, creativity, and an innovators identity [5] into variouselements of experiential and project based courses. Capstone design instructors often teach tenetsof entrepreneurship to their design teams to build “soft skills” and develop “well-rounded”engineers [6]. These activities are both necessary for ABET accreditation as well as desired by theengineering workforce.In addition, employers seek more creative, entrepreneurial engineering graduates. Increasingly,they believe that gaining knowledge beyond traditional engineering curriculum is more importantthan discipline knowledge [7]. In addition, learning creativity and

course sequence over the 2021-2022 and2022-2023 academic years to determine the effect of EM-focused instruction and first-yeardesign projects on EM growth. We analyzed responses in a pre/post manner within theseacademic years and holistically analyzed across academic years. We used the cross-year analysisto address the impact of curricular changes. Finally, we provide implications and pedagogicalapproaches that can support the development of an EM in the future.2. BackgroundThe Ohio State University (OSU) partnered with KEEN in 2017 and has since integrated EMLacross several courses in its engineering curriculum. This initiative first began with the redesignof the First Year Engineering Program (FYEP) standard course sequence. Alterations to

Throughout the semester,students work in teams to perform customer discovery and product-market fit experimentsthrough customer interviews to test their business model hypotheses. Students submit weeklyupdates on their progress through the Launchpad Central software, a widely used tool tomaximize innovation management. Students also complete assignments to analyze teamworkeffectiveness, create

desire to solve problems can be used to create value for others. Groups likeKEEN have been supporting and encouraging EML in engineering education, with thepublication of the “The KEEN Framework” that includes examples of student outcomesassociated with entrepreneurial mindset [6]. Most often, these EML outcomes are incorporatedinto first year and capstone courses that emphasize the engineering design process. Courses, suchas statics, dynamics, and thermodynamics, make less frequent use of EML, possibly becauseinstructors feel like they do not have enough class time to include these elements. The aim of the“Clippers Worth the Cost” activity is to incorporate EML with course content in such a way thatstudents’ experience with the content is more
