Contextualizing Inclusive Practices in EM PedagogiesInclusive curriculum signifies curricular practices that promote student success across allstudents [56]. The salient characteristics of inclusive practices that the authors have focused onin the third year core classes include representation of diverse STEM figures, providing safespaces for failure, promoting collaboration over competition, and supporting student autonomy.Each of these practices is founded in the literature as ways to support inclusive learningenvironments (e.g., [57], [58]). While all characteristics are featured in both courses, the

branding strategy can achieve to promote thegrowth of the business.IP is considered an ‘asset’ of the organization and can have real value. The form of that valuevaries from the type of IP and the increase in freedom to operate that it affords. For patents,particularly in technology-driven companies, patents represent legitimacy to prospectiveinvestors. Like peer-reviewed papers, issued patents present to the world that an idea, indeeddoes have merit according to a separate panel of experts that do not have a vested interest in thecompany. This translates to many investors as a due diligence checkmark toward investability.Similarly, crowdfunding platforms that invest in consumer product-based companies may havean easier time raising capital than

title and abstract were carefully reviewed to find studies pertaining to theexperiences of racially minoritized populations in STEM entrepreneurship. For exclusioncriteria, all results were limited to peer-reviewed journals published in English if they fit all otherrequirements and studied underrepresented populations’ experiences or perceptions in STEMentrepreneurship. There was no time period specified in the exclusion criteria due to the limitedamount of literature published in STEM entrepreneurship so all research regardless of thepublication date was considered. Once all inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to thisliterature review search and all duplicates were removed there were eight articles remaining to befurther explored

Increase the likelihood that students will experience diversity through contact with people who are different than themselves. 4. Allow students to get frequent feedback about their performance. 5. Provide opportunities for students to see how what they are learning works in different settings. 6. Help students gain a better understanding of self in relation to others. pp. 14-17.One of the teaching and learning practices Kuh (2008) identified as a high-impact experience isinternships.Internships place students in work experiences in which they have little or no control over thesequences or difficulty of

The idea was firstcoined [44] by Downes and Siemens in 2008:” ‘connectivist’ distributed peer learning model.” [ ]MIT’s OCW and Stanford’s released recordings of their classes and in 2011 this field exploded[45].MOOCs implies open access and global. Some are free and normally , there is a video componentto instruction through online platforms and is aimed at allowing thousands to be educated.Looking at google trends we find that only in 2014 did this

education has been widely noted. Thishas been driven by the need to develop a wide range of skills such as innovativeness, creativity,and problem-solving in engineering students to succeed in today’s technology-driven economy.Increasingly, graduates are expected to adapt their complex problem-solving skills to align withthe modern-day multidisciplinary practice of engineering [1], know how to integrate theirscience and technical training to enhance industrial practice [2], and successfully navigate futurechallenges through continued innovation [1]. As noted by Torres, Velez-Arocho, and Pabon [3],“The contemporary engineer must be able to (a) effectively communicate orally as well as [in]writing, (b) be capable of working in multidisciplinary teams
