engineers for professional endeavors.Students have numerous career choices available to them after graduation, and there is anopportunity to teach students how to navigate these options and make decisions that align withtheir professional and personal values and goals. This paper describes the implementation of anew course entitled Pathways to Impact offered at a large university that was created with theformal objective of exposing students to various professional pathway options and decision-making considerations. This course serves to enhance student confidence in understanding thedifferent ways in which they can make an impact throughout their careers, all while creating alearning experience that aims to strengthen students’ entrepreneurial

Entrepreneurship as a keycompetence for the economic and social progress of the country. However, the current training intechnical careers does not adequately cover the collaborative skills associated withentrepreneurship. The general objective was to test Moscoso´s pedagogical model that integratesspecific competencies, such as leadership, team communication, and team mediation, within thecurriculum of technical careers. The specific objectives focused on designing and proposing apedagogical model for the development of each of these competencies, comparing responses to aquestionnaire applied

A validated questionnaire wasadministered, incorporating a series of entrepreneurial competencies outlined by the EuropeanUnion within three areas: (a) ideas and opportunities, (b) resources, and (c) taking action.Additionally, this questionnaire includes a section addressing various aspects of entrepreneurialprojects: self-efficacy, intention, career choice, and motivation. Statistical methods wereemployed to analyze the questionnaire responses.

Based on these observations and theliterature, the recommendation is made to engage undergraduates in research early in theiracademic career, during their first or second year. Benefits for undergraduates in research overtheir academic career can result in these students continuing with the graduate program at theirhome institution or at other institutions.The Kern Foundation recognized the importance of undergraduates in research and sponsored aRequest for Proposal (RFP) to address this topic.

First, we showthe development of this intersectional/nexus concept (which we call Embracing New Ideas, ENI)in terms of measures of self-efficacy (ENI-SE; consisting of six items, with a Cronbach’s Alphaof .85) and behavior (ENI-B; consisting of five items, with a Cronbach’s Alpha of .80).

Telling personalstories allows students to explore their reasons, ideas, hopes, fears, and feelings related to theiridentities as engineers and scientists. Students can connect their past selves with their current andimagined future selves to be able to understand their roles and paths forward in their careers [3].Storytelling can be leveraged this way because stories tend to exhibit similar general themes thatinclude redemption, contamination, or agency which can impact the storyteller’s mental health.Redemption stories exhibit a negative to positive

Mitchell et al. describes entrepreneurial mindset (EM) in terms of itscognitive aspect as, “the knowledge structures that people use to make assessments, judgments, ordecisions involving opportunity evaluation, venture creation, and growth” [1].The purpose of this research is to improve computer science student's understanding of the entrepreneurialmindset and how it affects STEM undergraduate students. Through an activity presented in multiplecomputer science courses, students were exposed to the method of concept mapping as a way to developmetacognition.

Evidence suggests thatproficiency in innovation, critical thinking, complex problem-solving, and effectivecommunication positions students for success in sustainable engineering careers [2-4]. However,a prevalent culture of risk aversion among students stifles exploration into unchartedtechnological territories, thereby limiting their comprehensive academic growth [5].In response to these challenges, this paper presents an evaluative study of an inventive, multi-disciplinary, project-based course known as "Innovation Through Making."

When teaching mathematically intensive engineering courses,professors usually show detailed derivations of theorems, principles, and governing equations todemonstrate how theorems, principles, and governing equations are obtained.However, during this process, engineering students often feel bored and disengaged because examples ofhow the educational content is applied in their daily lives are lacking [1].

They write: “Students in entrepreneurship educationshowed an overall statistically significant increase in entrepreneurial mindset, specifically incommunication and collaboration, opportunity recognition, and critical thinking and problem-solving. Moreover, there was a positive association between entrepreneurial mindset gains andperceptions of future career success.” (p, 87
