Through coordination with the program director and availableresources, we can conclude that participant evaluations of the program are positive and mixed,and there are four challenges, or room for improvement, that participants reflected on after theprogram: (1) participant variation, (2) I-Corps’ role in entrepreneurship-innovation learningprocesses, (3) mentorship, and (4) time constraints.

The literature emphasizes that entrepreneurship goes beyond the simple creation ofcompanies, being an intrinsic attitude of human beings reflected in their ability to take risks,identify opportunities, and adapt to fluctuations in the labor market [2–6]. In this context, thedemand for entrepreneurial education has been increasing, highlighting its importance in creatingan

Dr. Najmus Saqib is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Marian University. He has been teaching in his field since 2017. Saqib is passionate about student learning. He received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Colorado School of Mines, focusing on ”Optical Diagnostics of Lithium-Sulfur and Lithium-Ion Battery Electrolytes using Attenuated Total Reflection Infrared Spectroscopy”. At Mines Saqib was a member of the MODES Lab, led by Dr. Jason M. Porter. His work on Li-S batteries was the first of its kind to use quantitative infrared spectroscopy for operando polysulfide measurements. He has also applied operando spectroscopy to improve the understanding of electrolyte decomposition mechanisms
undergraduates usually means slower rates of research progress which may beunacceptable for a tenure track faculty. Since this survey was at a predominantly undergraduateinstitution, it does not necessarily reflect what might be at a research university. The last fourtopics in the list are of primary importance at these universities [9]. Unless the institution valuesmentoring undergraduates, the faculty would see mentoring undergraduate students will not helpwith their professional development. Undergraduate research can result in publications but oftendoes not. These students need a great deal of supervision, flexibility in their schedule, andpatience on the part of the faculty mentor. The students often do not see the “Big Picture” of theresearch

curiosity 12. Ability to assess financial value 13. Data driven decision making 14. Career plan There is no single definition of an entrepreneurial mindset (EM) but there is commonalityin the attributes and skills associated with an EM by various sources. Among the mostemphasized elements are creativity, curiosity, critical thinking, flexibility, adaptability,communication, collaboration, comfort with risk, resilience, initiative, future focus, opportunityrecognition, innovation, reflection, independence, and value focus [20-24]. The factors identifiedby the survey questions used in our study align with these elements. As explained earlier, a two-sample t-test was selected for analysis
students in STEM majors [5]. Active learning experiences are broadlydefined as activities that students do to further knowledge and understanding of a topic and canbe anything from brief pauses during lectures to allow for reflection to semester-long off-siteprojects. Active learning can be particularly beneficial for the most challenging aspects of acourse, such as the analysis of frames and machines in a statics and dynamics course for whichstudents must apply their knowledge of several previous topics to systems with complexstructures and multi-force member(s). Additionally, entrepreneurial mindset learning (EML) has been incorporated intoengineering programs. Through EML, student learn how engineering principles combinedcuriosity and a

This section will also explore the practical implications of ourfindings for educational institutions. Finally, we will conclude by offering a reflective summaryof the significance of the study and its contributions to entrepreneurial education research.MethodologySurveyA Cronbach's Alpha of 0.890 was attained during the survey validation process for theEntrepreneurial Competencies dimension and 0.876 for the Entrepreneurial Intention dimension.Table 1 shows the corresponding Cronbach´s Alpha reliability analysis by dimensions.Descriptive statistics were used in sample characterization for data analysis
to submit a one-page response and feedback paper reflecting on the insights and lessons learned from the entrepreneur's journey. Final program project: The enrollment students were from different departments, we put them into 5 interdisciplinary groups, each group had 4 students. They collaborated on a term project to be submitted at the end of the program, promoting an innovative environment within these small groups. Their progress in the project was evaluated every 2 weeks, fostering collaboration between students with diverse backgrounds, such as medical and engineering students.- Figure 5: UI Program evaluation strategy.The core elements of the Ultimate Innovation Program are

Encouraging the student teams to make a comparative evaluation of the various manufacturing techniques that could be employed for producing the same product expands their ambit of thinking. 5. Encourage the team to think beyond the immediate need. Ask them to explore the possibilities of fulfilling multiple objectives with the same product. 6.

Opening the submission format to include videos enables the students to visualize their product pitch and thus reflect and improve on their presentation skills. They could be

Thepromise of many programs is to use ST to evaluate existing knowledge and resourcesrelevant to a particular health systems issue, plan and execute an innovative solution toaddress the issue at hand, evaluate the outcomes of the implementation, and present thesolution to key stakeholders in the host organization engaged in personal self-evaluationand critical reflection [30]. More importantly, the programs promise to deliver“applications of ethical theory to health reform, systems approach to health programmingplanning and evaluation, international comparison of health systems, and an in-depthinvestigation of health sector subsystems or building blocks

They are centrally about identifying or generating new (and perhapsvaluable) ideas, and all skew towards the fuzzy frontend of design and venture creation, thougharguably with more intentionality than the ISE item of “Asking a lot of questions.” We also seethat the ESE items not included either reflect personality traits (e.g., persist under adversity) ormoving an idea beyond its initial stages into a full-fledged business plan. 11From the ten items (five from ESE and five related to ISE) we identified six to bring together asour new Embracing New Ideas

The end of both design projects reserved one day to focus on EMand asked them to reflect on questions they had about engineering, to create a concept map as agroup about EM, and to identify the value they had created for stakeholders in their projects. In2021-2022, this was the first introduction to EM for both projects and was designed as areflection. In 2022-2023, it was the first introduction to EM for the robot project, but theresearch-based project had heavily focused on EM and value creation throughout the semester.Student workload across the design projects was reduced in 2022-2023 compared to the yearprior. For example, students were given additional time to brainstorm their designs and createthem, reducing the overall number of
exaggerate these existing stereotypes and biasesassociated with minoritized racial/ethnic identities. Classes that help participants develop ascientific identity, for example, could encourage interest in STEM career paths (Maton et al.,2016). Similarly, educational programs could improve the level of social support available toSTEM academics from minoritized racial/ethnic groups. When experiencing conflict betweenracial/ethnic and science identity (McCoy et al., 2015), the need for social support becomesparticularly important (Harper, 2012; Ong et al., 2018).
