[17] In addition, this inventory was validated [7] using both corporate employeesand university students. It asks participants how strongly they agree or

associated with a variety of student outcomes. Additionally, modified versionsof previously validated instruments were used to measure teachers’ motivation for participatingin the K12 InVenture Prize program [15] and teachers’ self-efficacy for teaching engineering andentrepreneurship [16]. Participants A total of six teachers from our focal region began the survey. Of these, two discontinuedthe survey during the demographics and teaching background sections; a total of fourrespondents completed the survey. All four teachers who completed the survey are women, andall four teachers are White. For all four teachers, the 2018-2019 school year was their first yearimplementing the K12 InVenture Prize program. Two teachers implemented in a

-curricular [11]), and applications in specific courses, both traditional engineering[12] and those with a more specific EML focus [13].Outside of these more application-oriented areas, there have been workshops to contextualizewhat entrepreneurial education should look like in engineering [14], comparisons betweenengineering and business students’ interest in entrepreneurship [15], and exploration of thepredictors of entrepreneurial self-efficacy [16]. In addition, there is a rapidly growing literatureexamining the development of instruments to measure various conceptualizations ofentrepreneurial mindset in engineering students [8, 17-21]. What seems to be lacking in any ofthese studies is an investigation of the alignment between these measures and

exception is that Huang (2017) conducted quantitative surveyon students who participated in “Creation Youth” National University StudentEntrepreneurship Competition, and found that entrepreneurship practice education includingentrepreneurship competitions had significant positive impacts on mediating variable ofentrepreneurial self-efficacy and therefore can improve college students’ entrepreneurialintention [23]. Although the prior study has proven the promoting effect of entrepreneurialcompetition on entrepreneurial intention, it remains to explore which specific learningexperiences in entrepreneurship competitions function. This current study shall continue toexplore the specific impact of engaging in TIECs on engineering students

-efficacy was analyzed regarding URM and FGC status [7]. Self-efficacy refers to anindividual’s belief and confidence about his or her ability “to organize and execute courses ofaction required to attain designated types of performances” [44]. Consequently, innovationself-efficacy does not measure realized behaviors but only one’s belief in the ability toperform these. Since EMS 1.0 was exclusively distributed to undergraduate engineeringstudents, actual behaviors as employees could not be determined. This earlier study does notfind any significant differences in innovation self-efficacy between people of URM or FGCstatus and the ones who are not part of these groups.Beyond these personal factors, this paper investigates differences in individual

Previous research has demonstrated that betterlearning outcomes of sustainability related challenges are reached when multi-methodlearning experiences are produced [20]. Additionally, problem-based design challenges andteaching have been connected to increase awareness of societal issues, entrepreneurialintentions and innovation self-efficacy amongst engineering students [11,20,51], highlightingthe benefits of generatively applying knowledge within courses. Overall, the students abilityto implement the measured sub-themes of sustainability, ethics and collaboration in seven outof the nine sub themes improved statistically
