theories weredeveloped independently, they have been integrated to get better understanding of the “self”(Stets and Burke, 2000).Self-determination theory (SDT) derives from social psychology, and it relates to the motivationbehind people’s choices in the absence of external influences. Its roots are in comparing intrinsicand extrinsic motives and the understanding of the dominant role that intrinsic motivation playsin individual behavior. Intrinsic motivation refers to doing an activity for the inherent satisfactionor enjoyment it brings to an individual, and not because of external pressures or rewards such assatisfaction, self-esteem, competence, and pro-social behavior (Ryan & Deci, 2000). In contrast,extrinsic motivation refers to doing

For more information about the benefits andvarious definitions of entrepreneurship education, we refer you to studies by Putro et al., (2022);Boldureanu et al.

innovative culture, and York University focused onentrepreneurial mindset in the core curriculum for undergraduate engineering and computerscience students. The program culture aspect does not fit well in the current constructive alignmentmodel; however, it is an important element that can potentially influence the learning outcomesand program design as identified by the educators.4. DiscussionEntrepreneurship education is expanding in Canada, with over 245 programs identified from 65universities. On average, each university offers four different programs, demonstrating thediversity and complexity of entrepreneurship program offerings. While these offerings are notlimited to the college of engineering, they provide multiple pathways for students

engineers. The main research question this poses is how doesconcept mapping affect STEM students' understanding of entrepreneurial mindset?ABET Computing Criteria lists these three student outcomes: 1. Communicate effectively in a variety of professional contexts. 2. Recognize professional responsibilities and make informed judgments in computing practice based on legal and ethical principles. 3. Function effectively as a member or leader of a team engaged in activities appropriate to the program’s discipline. [2] 1In order to implement these principles effectively, the research team integrated an activity that

beyond. Four essential learning areas for ENI-SE emerged: Mastery by Doing,Real-world Connectivity, Interdisciplinary Exposure, and Supportive Learning Environment.We discuss how these areas were realized in ME310 and provide examples from otherengineering courses. Furthermore, we hypothesize how features of these four areas might beadapted or adopted more broadly in the engineering curriculum. These findings not onlyhighlight the overlap between entrepreneurship and innovation in engineering education butalso offer a blueprint for integrating these key pedagogical practices into existing curriculardesigns, equipping students to become creators, drivers, and forerunners of novel ideas andchange.Keywords: Embracing New Ideas, Self-Efficacy

However, weacknowledge that excellent undergraduate research experiences often lead to peer-reviewed publicationsand help faculty career progression.In partnership with the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN), a workshop has been held forfour summers to help faculty integrate the entrepreneurial mindset (EM) into their work with researchstudents. We are interested in exploring the impact of this work on participation and sharing our findingswith the broader engineering community.Research questions: 1. How can faculty use an EM to adjust their approach to research activities and student mentoring? 2. What structures/practices from the workshop help faculty adjust their approach to

Therefore, NativeAmerican students who may not see/engage in this aspect may be particularly at risk of losingmotivation for - and possibly leaving - their engineering majors [1]. These issues contribute tolow Native American representation and deprive the U.S. of an opportunity to increase diversityto solve better engineering problems and design innovative solutions that benefit more people[11].A 2012 study from Lesley University indicates Arts integration in STEM stimulates deeplearning and increases student engagement among minority students

For example, the Academic Pathways Study found that for some engineeringstudents, an engineering career was not necessarily the expected end goal (14% definitely not,12% probably not, and 8% unsure) [18]. This data highlights that learning, even in anengineering curriculum, should be broad enough to support students headed to a variety ofcareers that may be related or adjacent to STEM fields.In fact, students’ expectations for the value of

This integration helps to balance the demandsbetween traditional employment and entrepreneurial activities, promoting entrepreneurship as aviable career option beyond the confines of business schools [16]. The influence of collaborativelearning on entrepreneurship in higher education has also been documented. A study shows apositive and significant impact of collaborative learning on students' engagement inentrepreneurial activities, with indirect effects mediated by entrepreneurial culture quantified at28.29% and 6.6% [17].
