Development (EUFD) workshops to engineeringfaculty to support the development of entrepreneurial mindset in the faculty participants and theirstudents. EUFD workshops consist of 3 days of in-person engagement followed by a year ofcoaching and are focused on developing connections between participants andfacilitators/coaches and among participants themselves. In this project, we use a survey of EUFDparticipants to understand the role of connection in their workshop experience. Our researchquestions are: 1) How many others did participants have meaningful interactions with during theworkshops? And 2) What differences in number of meaningful interactions were there betweendifferent workshops?In our survey, participants selected who among their

examine how facultyCommunities of Practice (CoPs) contribute to developing an entrepreneurial mindset (EM) inengineering education. Participants showed a mindset consistent with EM principles, such asinitiating collaborative solutions, building connections to support innovation, and creating lastingvalue [12], [13]. Though EM was not an explicit focus of the CoP projects, these alignedpractices suggest that CoPs are a promising structure for cultivating EM among faculty. Futurestudies could explore how CoPs foster curiosity, build connections, and create value inengineering classrooms, also assess their impact on student learning. Examining this alignmentcould offer practical strategies for integrating adaptability and entrepreneurial thinking
