products continues to increase;providing additional motivations for including entrepreneurial training in highereducation. As a result, entrepreneurship education has spread laterally to non-businessdisciplines such as engineering, technology, science, and arts [10]. This expansion has ledto an evolution of entrepreneurship education from the business school model of venturecreation to focus on developing skills in graduates that foster innovation in their careerpursuits which may or may not involve self-employment [11]. Particularly inengineering, several curricular and co-curricular entrepreneurship programs have beeninitiated which typically use student-centered, experiential learning approaches to impartcontent knowledge and more importantly

Not unexpectedly, the movement has led tobacklash, as some accusations inevitably have been inadequately fact-checked, exaggerated, ormisunderstood. As both men and women seek to adjust to the post #MeToo workplace, men haveoften withdrawn in confusion as to what remains appropriate and what might be construed asinappropriate behavior in the workplace. Many avoid conversations on the topic for fear ofnegative consequences. Yet, silence and withdrawal are the enemies of productive forward-looking change
