For the second implementation, one faculty repeated atthe same public mid-Atlantic University, while the other faculty did so at a small privateMidwestern University.Important aspects of the project are for students to develop an entrepreneurial mindset (EM)throught the 3Cs of Curiosity, Connections, and Creating Value.

planned before the pandemic, the changes in oursupport systems and the focus of our team due to the pandemic were necessary items to considerin our research. This led us to include COVID-19 specific interview questions, and the resultsfrom these questions are discussed in their section within the results.4. Participants For this study, we interviewed 8 participants in various academic standings enrolled inengineering programs at a mid-Atlantic US university. The participants comprise 4 female and 4male students who hail from 6 different countries. Table 1 provides information on the studentsinterviewed with their home country, grade, and involvement.

countriesthat are positioned as high in one dimension and low in the other. For example, whileinternational students in the U.S. cultural orientation could be high, a country that is high on thepower distance continuum could also be low on the uncertain avoidance continuum.SamplingThe sampling procedure for this study was nonprobability, convenience sampling. A non-probability, convenience sampling involves seeking volunteers from a specific population for thestudy and using those who are readily available as the sample [26]. This study met the samplingcriteria as it sought volunteers from the population of undergraduate engineering students at asingle Research 1 university in the Mid-Atlantic of the U.S. There was no random selection orrandom

Student responses acquired through focus groups and one-on-oneinterviews were examined to determine how included the students felt in their engineeringcollege and also the broader scientific community.A small group of non-calculus ready engineering students enrolled in a large land grantinstitution in the Mid-Atlantic region consented to participate in the study. The student cohortparticipated in an NSF S-STEM funded program aimed at fostering a sense of inclusion inengineering by

atstake, engineering education should place more value and emphasis on the garnering ofprofessional communication skills within the discipline. This paper presents a detailed account of how one large mid-Atlantic university designeda targeted communication course, which focuses on meeting the communication demands placedon engineers. The course, currently taken by about 350 engineering students per semester (14sections with no more than 26 students per section), is the collaboration of the College ofEngineering and the Department of Communication Arts and Sciences. This partnership, referredto as integrated instruction, is defined as a collaboration between communication experts in theliberal arts and a college of engineering. By offering

aspects of computing. Only in computer & info science is the fraction of advanced degrees earned bywomen higher than BS degrees. Biology and biomedicine are the only fields wherewomen students are in the majority, even at MS and PhD levels. Engineering/tech isparticularly male-dominated, followed closely by computer & info science, and thesefields account for higher-paying STEM jobs. Even though the focus in this section is on the US higher-education scene, itmight help to cite data from other advanced countries for comparison. Canadian figuresare similar (~34% of STEM degrees go to women), while the 53% figure for theEuropean Union is much better, although even for EU the percentage drops to ~19% inhigher-paying categories

. Each class (or “section”) includes typically no more than 16 studentsenabling high levels of student engagement. For example, in the Spring 2020 semester, studentsenrolled in EV350 were distributed among 13 sections taught by six instructors. During thatsemester, one lab, one field trip, and 20 lessons were transitioned from in-person learning to anonline platform, Blackboard Collaborate. During the pivot, all lessons, labs, and field trips, wereprerecorded using existing materials (e.g., slideshows and handouts). Lessons learned duringSpring 2020 were immediately refined and the entire course (40-lessons) was transitioned to100% remote for a summer course offering. To do so, an additional lab, field trip, and the first 20lessons of the course
