importance of practicaltraining in key competencies such as resource management and decision-making [24].Experiential learning has been identified as a key methodology in entrepreneurial education.This approach, grounded in active and practical learning, enables students to tackle real-world problems and develop critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving competencies.Additionally, it fosters a deeper connection between theory and practice, enhancing students’motivation and commitment to entrepreneurship. For instance, Pereira et al. [2] demonstratethat collaborative projects strengthen technical skills and promote soft skills such asteamwork and effective communication. Similarly, integrating business simulators andinteractive technologies

, discussed later, the overall administration remained uniform. Students were asked to complete a survey and a concept map during the first and final weeks of their E101 course experience. ackgroundBThe EM is a dynamic framework that cultivates critical thinking, creativity, and adaptability by integrating technical and soft skills to address complex engineering problems. Grounded in the "three Cs" of engineering education- connectedness, creating value, and curiosity- this framework was developed by the Kern Engineering Education Network (KEEN), a partnership of 28 engineering institutions dedicated to producing graduates with the professional, social, and personal skills necessary for lifelong learning and meaningful

[12].However, given the assessment design, one cannot know the base state of the students before thecourse or if non-entrepreneurial factors led to the changes between the years. Cioc andcoworkers pilot offering of a fluid mechanics course for senior mechanical engineeringtechnology students embeds EM concepts in small projects [13], [14]. They report desirableachievement of content knowledge and improvement in soft skills related to EM. However, thedirect assessments used to evaluate content knowledge only provide data for this initial offering,and statistically significant improvements with EM were confined to items related to creation ofvalue and connecting decisions with consequences [13]. A mechatronics project offered tosenior and

strategies that adapt to the changing dynamics of the business world.Furthermore, academic curricula should be continuously updated to meet the demands of the jobmarket, ensuring that graduates are equipped with both hard and soft skills necessary for successin a competitive environment. In addition to this, comprehensive training programs shouldemphasize the development of entrepreneurship skills, including leadership, communication, andthe ability to manage change. By doing so, educational institutions can play a pivotal role inshaping graduates who are capable of thriving in the rapidly evolving global economy [45].METHODOLOGYThis study follows an applied approach as defined by Concytec (2018), using a non-experimental,descriptive-projective
