to independently research or work on a project. The professor acts as an advisor forthe project in addition to their course load, so the professors are typically already passionateabout the topic and motivated to make a difference if they are willing to put in the additional effort.While the additional time required typically brings in the most passionate professors, it doesrestrict the ability of professors to advise MIH projects in addition to their regular class schedule.The independent study approach significantly reduces the barrier for students to gain practicalhumanitarian project experience, but it also limits the training that the students can receive in thephilosophy and best practices of humanitarian engineering.

increase in mentorship,entrepreneurial workshops and competitions. VII. Future WorkPrevious studies have proposed different methods of assessment for the impact ofentrepreneurship education on engineering students (Upton, Sexton, & Moore, 1995; Wheeler,1993). Some researchers have suggested using the ratio of entrepreneurs among engineeringalumni to entrepreneurs in comparison with business or general alumni population. Others usedthe number of start-ups founded per engineering alumni within x years after graduation incomparison with those by business or general alumni population. Some even suggested using taxdata to compare their household income. While entrepreneurship is important for the economy,these criteria may not be the best way

A survey of engineering capstone faculty asking how they incorporateentrepreneurial practices into their capstone courses indicated just over half encouraged the useof failure or fail forward in the design iteration process (Matthew et al., 2014).Researchers at the University of New Haven (Li, et al., 2016; Li, et al., 2018; Li, et al., 2019)developed an instrument intended to measure entrepreneurial mindset.

Seventeen engineering faculty have also been interviewed by researchers[14]. While many students embrace active learning and report positive learning experiences [15-17], the evidence-based results have also revealed a few reasons for their resistance. One of themajor concerns was lack of motivation. In other words, some students would not see the value inthe new learning techniques. Additionally, distraction coming from the internet or social mediasometimes negatively impacts their learning efficiency. It

Traditional engineering curricula are typically weak in entrepreneurshipstudies. Instruction in engineering theory and practice is present in all engineering classes, buttoo often the links between engineering methods and business and entrepreneurial needs are notaddressed.

However, when compared to reflective observation, it is suggested that active experimentation is more natural for stimulating entrepreneurial behavior23, 35.
