, students who had an interest in graduate programs were alsoencouraged to take an M-CURE that focused on writing peer reviewed papers and transition to graduateprograms [3,5].The last element of the CURE experiences was tied to development of an entrepreneurial mindset (EM).EM for this project is defined as a set of attitudes, dispositions, habits, and behaviors that shape a uniqueapproach to problem-solving, innovation, and value creation. In the context of research, we are focused onhelping students connect research with value creation. We have defined a research mindset as a broaderidea that includes many facets of an entrepreneurial mindset. These factors in turn are connected to theidea of student-centered research [6].All of the CUREs in the

Implementing MBL can provide a crucial first-step toward developing failure tolerance.The MBL framework employed by the authors [5, 6] requires students to demonstrate mastery offundamental skills to pass a course. Mastery is demonstrated by completing test questions with near-perfect solutions. Final grades are then based on the number and complexity of skills mastered duringthe semester. Unlike traditional grading systems, MBL does not award partial credit; assessments areevaluated as either Passed or Not Yet. However, students can retake assessments as needed until thecourse ends, allowing each failure to become a learning

Developing this mindset implies not only technical expertise but alsothe ability for engineering students to identify as entrepreneurs[2]. Identity then becomes a usefullens for understanding individuals’ academic and career motivation [3]; [4]. However, integrationand compartmentalization of these identities can be challenging, as engineering andentrepreneurial skill sets often do not coexist easily within the same individual, leading to atension in identity formation[5].
