It was further found that “those who had taken one ormore entrepreneurship courses showed significantly higher entrepreneurial self-efficacy on anumber of measures”.   The growth of entrepreneurship programs in engineering undergraduate education has beenstudied by Shartrand & others 3 finding that “the vast majority of programs were labeled asminors, concentrations or certificates” rather than integrated into the core curriculum. Thisresearch has also provided detailed categorization of the models being implemented to provide a“landscape” by clustering types of opportunities and the perspective by which they are taught4.Much of the delivery of entrepreneurship education is via courses, however it is argued

, can lead to better communication and trust. What emerges is a more healthy relationship.Students gain what they wanted all along - to learn what will help them later on. And faculty gainwhat they want - deeper respect from their students.The focus so far has been largely on skills and knowledge. But as we are exiting the knowledge-based world in which we were educated, attitudes and mindsets are being recognized as moreimportant factors of later success 33,34,35,36,37 . In the literature these attitudes include grit, curiosity,self-efficacy, the growth mindset and others. Whatever the makeup or nature of a mindset, mostpedagogical methods short circuit the development of these mindsets. To take one specific mindset,we know that students are

Pentland posits less global, more interpersonal reasons why ateam member may appear unengaged: Are they trying to communicate and being ignored or cut off? Do they cut others off and not listen, thereby discouraging colleagues from seeking their opinions? Do they communicate with only one other team member? Do they face other people in meetings or tend to hide from the group physically? Do they speak loudly enough?8Research has shown that emotion and stress impact individual and team communication duringthe decision-making process; however, results regarding the nature of the impact oncommunication are mixed.

Page 26.1744.11 to pursue careers in STEM- related areas. Studies suggest that gender differences in terms of interest in science, technology, engineering, and math can begin at an early age22. In many cases, females tend to feel they are neither competent enough nor have the ability to study disciplines that are traditionally male dominated. As a result, females end up having a negative attitude towards the STEM fields of study. This attitude towards the STEM study areas are further exaggerated when considering the fact that there are a limited number of female mentors, roll models, or peers to improve self- efficacy in this area. The Women in Technology Discussion Panel and Symposium is instrumental in stimulating interest

All of these traits are commonly cited desired attributes of a global engineer working in a multi-disciplinary world, and are reflected in engineering accreditation requirements today6-8. Project-based learning in particular can simulate an industry-like environment for students, to facilitate the development of the skills required for practicing professional engineers. In project-based learning, students are formally instructed to ensure they have the foundation of knowledge needed to work on and complete the project assigned9,10. Emphasis is

They canbe comprised of the atmosphere, individual members (experience, skillsets, and motivations),communication, shared resources, and the space (cognitive, affective and physical) in which theywork. Team-effectiveness within these environments can often be difficult and time consumingto measure, requiring training of the observers as well as a significant time investment in codingand analysis post-observation. As a result, observations of teams in engineering and computerscience education have typically looked at which tasks are performed and/or which behaviors areexhibited over a specific observation period.7-9 While

that considers the multiple environments central to one’s life andwork. The authors suggested that interventions be focused on 1) reducing role conflictsimposed by multiple environments, 2) providing continuity of training efforts, 3) creating apositive and rewarding mentoring culture, 4) and incorporating and evaluating efforts toincrease one’s research self-efficacy beliefs. Lent and Brown28 initially proposed a model forwork satisfaction that extends their scholarship on Social Cognitive Career Theory26. In thisprocess model, the authors posit that work satisfaction is influenced by 1) one’s affective traits,2) participation in goal-directed activities, 3) environmental supports and resources, 4) workself-efficacy and 5) both expected and
