engagedin academic entrepreneurship, focusing on how their roles and career stages influence theirpriorities. Using advanced natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning techniques,we analyzed qualitative survey responses to uncover key themes in entrepreneurial training. Theanalysis identified three primary desired learning goals of entrepreneurial teams: enhancingteamwork and collaboration, understanding market segmentation, and developing customerdiscovery and commercialization strategies. Graduate students emphasized teamwork andcollaboration, reflecting their early career focus on skill-building and professional development,while faculty prioritized commercialization, aligning with their strategic and leadership roles.These findings

Through an Alumni Seminar Series and Alumni-Led Jigsaw ActivitiesAbstractThe development of an entrepreneurial mindset (EM) is critical for engineering students as theyprepare to navigate complex, real-world challenges. This project aimed to enhance students' EMby connecting them with early-career professionals through a seminar series and in-class jigsawactivities. In the spring semester of 2024, four alumni, representing diverse career paths inconsulting, water treatment, enzyme manufacturing, and data science, participated in a monthlyseminar series open to all engineering students. Following each seminar, the alumni collaboratedwith the course instructor to design and present a jigsaw activity related to their

The sociotechnical engineer uses both technical andnon-technical (e.g. collaboration and communication) skills in order to work effectively.
