meant to gauge understanding ofall the topics covered in an engineering electromagnetics course. The CUE-CMR has beenapplied at this university since the Spring 2018 semester, where a transformation of the course toan active learning environment was initiated [11].Entrepreneurially Minded Learning and Electromagnetics EducationEML is not to be confused with entrepreneurship or even activities that are purelyentrepreneurial in nature. EML broadens entrepreneurship education by incorporating a focus onmindset and skillset while attempting to measure the knowledge of students, how students think,skills, and attitudes toward learning [12]. An entrepreneurial activity requires pairing a specifictechnical skillset with business acumen to create a new

be more open-minded towards females asking for those positions. Theymay not have “enough experience” because they are not offered enough opportunities to gain“enough experience”. Female faculty need to be encouraged to improve their leadership skills byattending training, workshops, conferences, etc.Conclusions and Future WorkAutoethnographic narratives of three female faculty in engineering who have experienced genderbias have enabled this topic to be explored. The findings from this research are consistent with thelarge body of literature on gender bias in academia. The recommendations indicate the need forfurther research, support, and awareness for female faculty who face these biases.The authors plan to continue their work on gender
engineering preparation beyond knowledge and skills.The next generation of entrepreneurial-minded engineers will be expected to demonstratetraditional technical expertise of an engineer as well as organizational level leadership tomeet the needs of changing markets [5]. These types of engineering entrepreneurial skillshave been shown to be teachable, yet assessment and evaluation of engineeringentrepreneurial learning is an underdeveloped field of research [6]. In a literature review byZappe [1], the definition of the term “entrepreneurial mindset” varied substantially. Forinstance, Worcester Polytechnic Institute stated EM was an approach to solve problems andway of life but others mentioned it can also be comprised of characteristics such
forum for creative expression.Though many believe academic makerspaces have the potential to transform the educationalexperience [10], it can be difficult to implement class projects that involve fabrication, especiallyin core classes that have over 50 students and no lab sessions. Traditional faculty who do notteach engineering design may hesitate to ask students to fabricate a physical product because oftheir own lack of familiarity with makerspaces. Furthermore, even those motivated by the idea ofentrepreneurially minded learning may see a large lecture-based class as inhospitable to anyhands-on project. Furthermore, though academic makerspaces are freely available to students forextracurricular projects, not all students take advantage of
scores of five had statistically lower first semester GPAs than students withscores of 4. Negative openness scores of 3 or higher for these students were statistically relatedto higher first semester GPAs than scores of 2. Only negative mindfulness score was found to bestatistically significant for Algebra II students’ enrollment in Spring 2020, with studentsreporting mid-range scores (3), being less likely to be enrolled than students at either extreme.Students in Algebra II are under-prepared for a course of study in engineering, so the statisticalsignificance of a mindfulness factor is consistent with previous work [10,11]. This was the onlytime that negative mindfulness score was found to be statistically significant.ConclusionsIn addition

An interesting trend was that most of the freshmen who were interviewed said they were veryexcited about the projects the upperclassmen were doing and would like to do those projects. Onanother note, the candidates who were unhappy with their coursework said they liked other non-engineering related things better, the content is not what they were expecting, or they spent toomuch time on classwork.One thing that was found to be a motivator for some of the interview candidates was their futurecareer goals. These candidates had a particular career field in mind for after graduation. Theywere excited to learn skills to help them achieve

,improve their form, and build physical strength by pushing themselves to their limits, and a key part oftraining occurs as athletes monitor their progress and examine their form compared against some ideal.These concepts are no less important in the training of the mind, and the idea of metacognition (criticallyexamining one’s own thought process) is a key part of effective learning[8]. Therefore, if we seek toincentivize good student practices when working on homework, incorporating metacognitive elements isa good place to start.A number of homework policies exist which incorporate metacognition in some form[9]–[12].
