uncertain future that lies ahead. Evidence suggests thatproficiency in innovation, critical thinking, complex problem-solving, and effectivecommunication positions students for success in sustainable engineering careers [2-4]. However,a prevalent culture of risk aversion among students stifles exploration into unchartedtechnological territories, thereby limiting their comprehensive academic growth [5].In response to these challenges, this paper presents an evaluative study of an inventive, multi-disciplinary, project-based course known as "Innovation Through Making." This course isdesigned to blend the foundational Engineering Sciences (ES) curriculum with anEntrepreneurial Mindset, thereby endowing students with critical knowledge and

The promising findings of this research and the encouraging feedback of the student community motivated him to pursue this line of research in his NSF CAREER award in 2017. Since then, he has built a coalition within the university to expand this work through multiple NSF-funded research grants including IUSE/PFE: RED titled ”Innovation Beyond Accommodation: Leveraging Neurodiversity for Engineering Innovation”. Because of the importance of neurodiversity at all levels of education, he expanded his work to graduate STEM education through an NSF IGE grant.

This is significant, considering that a diverse team can better understand and represent end-users' needs in problem-solving [1].Differences in gender socialization, linked to environmental factors such as family values, socialexpectations, and representation in traditional and digital media, among others, are identified asone of the reasons for gender biases among individuals.

These concepts are definedbased on other complex subjects, such as multi-criteria decision-making, systems analysis, riskanalysis, and socioeconomic disaster impact analysis. It is one of the reasons why these conceptsare often taught in more advanced graduate-level courses, if at all, instead of undergraduatecourses. However, introducing these concepts early on is crucial, since the vast majority ofpracticing structural engineers start their careers after their undergraduate program.
