]. Purpose & Research QuestionAlthough past research has been conducted integrating intersectionality theory into research inSTEM disciplines and entrepreneurship respectfully, there is a gap in how experiences of raciallyminoritized populations in STEM entrepreneurship are studied. The goal of this study is tohighlight the importance of using intersectionality to examine the experiences of raciallyminoritized populations in STEM entrepreneurship. We seek to explore the following question:How are the experiences of racially minoritized populations in STEM entrepreneurship studied?In the following sections, we summarize how racially minoritized experiences in STEMentrepreneurship are studied, provide an overview of the frameworks being in

He spends a great deal of time looking for ways to break out of the traditional engineering mold and to make engineering more broadly accessible to students. His research interest is the application of mobile computing to interesting, human-focused problems. He holds three degrees in computer engineering including graduate degrees from Virginia Tech and an undergraduate degree from NC State University. c

that the number of engineering schoolsoffering EEPs will increase. Furthermore, this growth is anticipated due to continued calls forfostering innovation [21] and recognition of entrepreneurship as an important element ofengineering education [22], [23]. Depending on the availability of resources and targeted goals,EEPs for engineering students follow a variety of existing models, such as specialized academicdegrees, including minors [18], standalone entrepreneurship courses [24], and entrepreneurialtraining integrated into existing engineering design programs [25]. In addition to variedprogrammatic structures, EEPs also differ in their pedagogical approaches which range fromstudent-centered teaching practices, formalized mentorship with

The large body of knowledge that students must masterwithin their chosen areas of study often results in limited exposure to other disciplines.Involvement with a multidisciplinary team introduces students to the critical problems that theircolleagues are attempting to solve as a new product is developed and introduced into themarketplace.

As aresult, we performed an overall class evaluation that included input from students, College ofEngineering faculty members, and employees and cast members from the ETO13. The outcomeof the evaluation was to create a new semester-long course featuring the same fieldtrip in themiddle of the semester over fall break. The motivation for change was three-fold. First, therewas a desire to teach creativity and innovation more effectively and thoroughly. Second, pastparticipants consistently wanted to extend the duration of the class and see additional examplesof applying creativity and innovation to real-world problems. Finally, by integrating

In the third phase, the workshopdeliverables were expanded into actual course activities and assessment complete with detailedrubrics. Again, a faculty member who was a researcher in the first phase of work was included inthe course activity development and assessment team. This allowed continuity between thephases of the projects.

For example, Florida Tech has four high qualityacademic "making" facilities and free training on how to use the equipment available to thecampus community, but only a fraction of students take advantage of them. More class projectswith EML themes early in the curriculum may encourage future makerspace usage for co-curricular activity, better senior design experiences and an overall increase in self-efficacy.The work reported here attempts to address these issues in an incremental fashion.

They were able to use this modeling software to createparts using a laser cutter and a 3D printer. At the end of each of these engineering toolmodules, students completed an individual project, which they brought home, for a totalof four individual projects.

growing a business or venture.2 In general,the definition of entrepreneurship varies with people’s perceptions. Others defineentrepreneurship in terms of the context of their field of study. A more accurateassessment of entrepreneurship for this study may be a more specific definitionwhich encompasses the broad scope of entrepreneurship. The EntrepreneurshipCenter at Miami University of Ohio defines entrepreneurship as “The process ofidentifying, developing, and bringing a vision to life. The vision may be aninnovative idea, an opportunity, or simply a better way to do something. The endresult of this process is the creation of a new venture, formed under conditions ofrisk and considerable uncertainty.”As the field of entrepreneurship is

Brunhaver et al. [19] produced similar findings about the difficulty ofassessing EM content in courses using the existing KSOs. The solution to this problem ofmeasurability proposed in that study was to develop an assessment of self-reported studentunderstanding of EM. The recommendation from this present study is to instead modify orredefine the objectives used to integrate EM content into curriculum to be measurable, ratherthan measuring it using a separate assessment tool.Although the sets of objectives analyzed in this study were difficult to use for the purposes ofmeasuring the EM content of courses, they can be used in other ways, including to help guide theprocess of generating EM course objectives. These objectives can also be useful for

There is a need to create an opportunity for value added curriculum, particularly in the areas business, management, and leadership skills.To do this is going to require more active and engaged pedagogies that usually providesome opportunity for experiential

This will be thefocus of the remainder of this paper, and will be used as an example to convey the final of step ofthe intrapreneurship study process, which is to build intrapreneurship competency throughengineering educational opportunities. Potential challenges and obstacles to achieve this areidentifying what new and differentiated educational opportunities should be provided, how bestto integrate these into the engineering education experience without adversely affecting otherparts of the curriculum, and how to assess their effectiveness in developing the competenciesneeded for intrapreneurship. The ultimate measure of how effective this approach is will be inthe
