There were also students from one state in the northern part of the country. Giventhe fact that both the professors leading this were of Indian origin and had done a major part oftheir education through college in India (albeit a few decades earlier), we were clued into thecultural aspects. Additionally, we have been visiting India almost annually to keep abreast of thechanges there.

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Fostering Entrepreneurial Mindset In An Engineering Statistics Course AbstractIn order to better prepare their students for the
transformation in engineering education is the development of MassiveOpen Online Courses (MOOCs) in the last dozen or more years. Researchers have explored theapplications in engineering [5], the challenges of credentials [6], and the opportunities forincreasing knowledge of entrepreneurship [7]. The challenge of retention in MOOCs has beenexplored by several researchers [8]–[10]. The slow MOOC evolution of teaching in the remotespace has been accelerated by COVID in the last year.An important paradigm shift in higher education was described by Charles Vest as the emergingmeta-university [3]. He describes how technology might change education, allowingcollaboration across different domains. In 2020 this grand experiment accelerated as thepandemic forced

Another way of conceptualizing the purpose of phenomenography is“to describe variation in experiences in a way that is useful and meaningful, providing insightinto what would be required for individuals to move from less powerful to more powerful waysof understanding a phenomenon” (Bowden, 2005, p. 72).Participants:We are choosing to focus on engineering students who started technology-based companieseither during or immediately after college and whose endeavors ceased operation without eitherselling the venture or achieving a traditional “exit” event.

Although there has beena significant push for entrepreneurship and innovation, there is still a lack of representation ofracially minoritized populations (i.e., African Americans or Black people, Hispanics/Latinx, andNative Americans/Alaskan Natives) in entrepreneurship, innovation, and science technology,engineering, and math (STEM) fields. In 2012, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA)Office of Advocacy found that racially minoritized business owners accounted for only 22.9% ofall U.S. business owners. This representation is even lower within STEM entrepreneurship (i.e.,individuals in STEM disciplines who practice entrepreneurship or innovation as business ownersor by starting a new venture
