has been integrated intovarious classrooms starting from grammar school and ranging up to college level courses, [4]-[6]. Integration of EM early on was focused on the idea that young students need to haveexposure to EM to improve their career readiness [5].The push for EM to be a focus in undergraduate engineering courses and programs started after acall from the National Academy of Engineering in 2005 [7]. Although engineering studentsdevelop many skills during their time as undergraduates, it has been determined that engineerswith entrepreneurial skills are vital to a developing society [8], [9]. For this reason, the technicalskills, although important to possess, should also be accompanied by development of how tothink outside the box and

lower-division engineering students, of whom 11 were enrolled in an engineeringmajor with a significant emphasis on entrepreneurship and 25 were enrolled in other engineeringmajors. Structured interviews of covered the participants’ family background, their motivations forenrolling in their major, their expectations with respect to career (including startups), their attitudestoward risk, and reflection on the interview. In the course of the interviews, participants were askedto rate their risk tolerance and their interest in pursuing a startup. Analysis of the interviews suggeststhat the principal indicator of entrepreneurial intent was interest in a startup, that most students’perceptions of the desirability of startups are negative, and that

We discuss these programsand interventions in the following paragraphs.The Invention Boot CampThe Invention Boot Camp is a four-week interdisciplinary program that focuses on teachingentrepreneurship, innovation, and STEM skills in a college environment to underrepresentedhigh school students in STEM [38]. One benefit of this program is that it utilizes an equitablelens in the recruitment and application process by going into schools with a large percentage ofracially minoritized and low-income

within an existing organization. Intrapreneurs are particularlycritical for engineering because this academic domain often provides the foundation the technicalexpertise needed to commercialize innovation. Many important innovations will come fromexisting organizations; as such, most new graduates will begin their careers with establishedfirms, and intrapreneurial skills have been identified as drivers in retention and careeradvancement in engineering-focused firms [2]. The literature suggests enhancing intrapreneurialskills of students in engineering can be achieved through a combination of curricular and real-world experiences [3]. Since traditional engineering curricula often neglect entrepreneurialtopics, as well as intrapreneurial

We invited feedback from representatives of the university and school corporateand external relations programs, as well as the members of its advisory board to learn more aboutthe overall value the Lab brings to the university and its stakeholders.1.

; Smith et al.2017). This activity combines with an added emphasis among engineering programs to developan entrepreneurial mindset among their engineering students with the belief that this will lead tothem being more productive and innovative whether their career path leads them into establishedindustry (becoming “intrapreneurs”) or later as entrepreneurs.While this trend toward developing more entrepreneurially minded engineering students issupported by global economic trends and a rapidly changing work environment, one factor hasbeen largely overlooked in this process. Statistically, most entrepreneurial ventures fail, withdisproportionately large value being created from a minority of entrepreneurial endeavors (Coats,2019). Given this fact

workshops were designed to help students think more creatively in their class projectsand practice a growth mindset [14] through short exercises demonstrating cognitive biases,barriers, and traps that prevent people from finding creative, novel solutions to problems.Thereby, we hope that students would be less likely to fall into these traps. According to a recentstudy by Burnette et al. [15], students in a growth mindset intervention, relative to the control,reported greater entrepreneurial self-efficacy and task persistence on their main class project andimprovement in their academic and career interests. Reducing the negative effect of the cognitivebiases, barriers and traps requires deliberate and repeated practice of CPS techniques. Althoughwe

As another example, an entrepreneurship clubfailed, with the faculty member hypothesizing that there was not enough momentum from thestudents since those who took entrepreneurship courses were not interested in continuing withthe club [3].1.2 Entrepreneurial MindsetAs an alternative to teaching formal entrepreneurship in a silo, engineering faculty have begun tointroduce the topics and skills related to entrepreneurship in more
