The survey instruments are adapted from the pre- and post-self-efficacy survey developed by Weaver and Rayess [15] to identify shifts in entrepreneurialmindset and are in Appendix A. Some questions from the 2018 survey were removed for 2019survey because they were not aligned with the learning outcomes of the project. These werequestions related to understanding how capital is raised and knowledge of the different types ofintellectual property. The responses for those questions were not used in this analysis.The results from these surveys are contained in Figure 1 along with symbolic notations if theone-tailed paired samples t-tests

KEEN Pyramid [7]An added benefit of EE is that as students develop innovation and entrepreneurial skills,competencies and mindsets, they also enhance a number of non-cognitive aspects of competencesuch as perseverance, self-efficacy, life-long learning skills, and social skills. Thesecompetencies align with those promoted by the Organization for Economic Co-operation andDevelopment (OECD) [8] as necessary for participation in a knowledge-based society. Thesecompetencies are a) using tools (language, symbols, texts, knowledge, information andtechnology) interactively, b) being able to interact well in heterogeneous groups and work inteams, including managing and resolving conflict, and c) acting

innovation management as part of aninnovation ecosystem, and all parts of this continuum have been the focus of worthwhileinnovation management internships as considered in our study.Even with this inclusive view of innovation management, however, specific literature oninternships and innovation management education for engineers is limited. Concerning thesignificance of internships on entrepreneurship education, the recent work of Duval-Couetil et albegins by noting that “to date, few researchers have examined to what extent differing programmodels and experiential activities impact students’ perceptions of their entrepreneurialknowledge, skills, and self-efficacy.” (Duval-Couetil, Shartrand and Reed, 2016.) Althoughinternships are not discussed in
distinguished, distinctly addressed, or overlap within andacross programs is difficult to assess given the variety educational models that exist. For thepurposes of this paper, entrepreneurship will be associated with the process of establishing a newbusiness venture.There is evidence, however, that exposure to such education has a positive impact and betterprepares students for the contemporary workplace. A study of senior-level engineering students Page 25.1259.4found that those who had taken one or more entrepreneurship courses had significantly higherentrepreneurial self-efficacy than those who did not and were also more likely to get hands-onskills

The results indicate students who had taken one or moreentrepreneurship courses were more likely to have the desire to start their own business or workfor a small business or startup. They were also significantly more confident in specificentrepreneurial self-efficacy measures including their ability to ‘write a clear and completebusiness plan’ and ‘recognize when an idea is good enough to support a major business venture’.These students also possessed statistically significant higher levels of risk tolerance. Another recent quantitative study called the Entrepreneurship Education Projectinvestigates the motivational processes of three groups of undergraduate students participating inentrepreneurship (entrepreneurship

Also focus on some of these key elements of EML as defined by Wheadonand Duval-Couetil: In order to better create value in society, students need to learn how to discover, identify, and dig deeper into real problems rather than just solve given problems. Learning through experience and reflection is critical to entrepreneurship education due to the situated nature of entrepreneurial thought and action. EML is student-centered and focused on developing a combination of affective factors, thinking patterns, knowledge, and skills. EML involves creating learning experiences through which students develop self-efficacy, value-orientation
