The outreach program on campus generated and delivered “programs for elementary, middle, and high school students, as well as outreach to science, math, and career and technical education (CTE) educators throughout the state, to help attract young minds to engineering.” Methods Research Design We conducted a mixed methods design [12-14] to explore the students’ experiences in the course and the effectiveness of the course activities on their teaching approaches and self-efficacy to teach integrated STEM lessons using the newly emerged technologies. In the Spring 2023 semester, four students enrolled in the course. Because this is a relatively low number of

These values, beliefs and assumptions are alsoinformed by historical institutional structures and cultures. Kunda [32] explores the roots,rhetoric and reality of embedded corporate engineering culture and argues “the development ofstrong corporate culture is the latest stage in the historical development of managerial ideologytoward an emphasis on normative control - the desire to bind the employees' hearts and minds tothe corporate interests.” Kunda undertook an ethnographic investigation of the engineeringdivision of a tech company regarded to have

Core constraints often get in the way – engineering curriculaleave little room for new courses beyond the fundamentals, semester timeline constraints do notoffer enough time for entrepreneurs to develop and test their ideas, new applied or experientialcourses face faculty headwinds, and “acting” like an entrepreneur requires cross-departmentlearning, like understanding financial viability and societal demand – typically understood throughthe lens of social sciences. This paper describes a new four-year cohort-based fellowship toovercome those constraints in order to develop and apply entrepreneurial mind and skill-sets tonew engineering applications.

they initially did not want to work with theproduct design students but then changed their mind through the process.The biomedical engineering students were asked, “if given the choice to keep working with theproduct design student from your group next semester, would you do it?” In response, 85% ofthe biomedical engineering students said yes, they would choose to continue working with theproduct design student if given the option next semester. 12% said no, and 3% were unsure. Ofthe individuals who said no, all were members of the two groups with the product designstudents who received the lowest grades in their product design course, suggesting that these twoproduct design students may have been weaker contributors to the collaboration
