educators.Our quantitative study is based on a dataset of 559 early-career engineering graduates whoparticipated in the Engineering Majors Survey (EMS). EMS is a longitudinal U.S. nationwidesurvey designed to explore engineering students’ and then later graduates’ technical,innovation, and entrepreneurial interests and experiences. Innovative behavior outcomes areanalyzed considering socio-demographic characteristics such as gender and underrepresentedracial/ethnic minority (URM) status, and characteristics of the workplace such as industryand company size. Furthermore, we elaborate on the interrelation of innovative behavior andleadership responsibility.We find no significant differences in innovative behavior of female and male engineeringgraduates

additional experience of customer discovery assistedthe RL in tailoring the research objectives and taught the faculty and graduate student mentorabout the commercial potential of this project.Case Study of the effects of combining REU research activities and I-Corps site customerdiscovery activities:Harvest-to-harvest: Novel clay-based adsorbents for poultry litter: The REU students processedand evaluated the efficacy of natural clay-based adsorbents to harvest phosphates and ammoniumions from poultry litter, and explored its application as a fertilizer. Besides turning a waste into auseful product, this waste management solution is expected to help poultry producers reduce thelevels of ammonia in chicken farm houses, thereby reducing energy

variousproject teams and students who participate in the competition. The selectivity to reach the semi-finals by winning either the quarter-finals or the wild-card competition is 45%. To rise to thefinal stage of the competition, teams have about 9% chance. Only 3% of all teams, a total of 28students in the past two years, won a top Prize.We wished to establish whether the number of presenters per team had an effect on pitchsuccess. We observed a trend in recent years that having more than one person represent theteam lessened the memorization load per team member. The typical pitch, where one personrepresents the team, can still be very effective in providing a consistent story, as demonstrated bythe second elevator pitch winner of 2019, Castle Point

The working EM master concept map also captures“what” may be involved within having an EM as illustrated with the category branchbeginning with “knowledge & skills”. This branch includes elements that as faculty wewould think are necessary to develop in our students as we seek for them to build an EM.Examples of the concepts that fell under these higher-level categories include fields of studysuch as engineering, marketing, science, and liberal arts, as well as broader career preparationskills, which include leadership, creativity, professional skills, and having a global view
