scholars. he e GCSP-REU program curriculum is continuously evolving and revised, based on priorTyear’s feedback and reflections, to provide this year’s scholars with impactful hands-on experiences over the 10-week summer program. Utilizing the ideas conceptualized through the “Future Work” section of the 2023 study, “The GrandChallenges Scholars Program Research Experience: A Great Opportunity to Cultivate Belonging in a Community of Practice,” various changes were implemented in aid of the evolution of the program[2]. Firstly, the weekly meetings continued with a hybrid option for student researchers to allow for maximum participation of scholars. Polling of the 2023 cohort resulted in an agreed-upon time

founded on EML. Mini-EML Adventure modules are designed for flexibility for adoption into the classroom,overcoming a barrier for integrating EM into the curriculum as a whole. Instructors can chooseone or more from course-specific lists and modify as necessary, facilitating the use of creativeinstructional material. The material does not require significant reordering of instructor content,reducing the barrier of adoption. Just as importantly, these adventures are designed as moreengaging, open-ended content than traditional examples and homework problems normallyfound in textbooks. They are designed to enhance student engagement and impact the way that astudent understands their value in their future professions.ConclusionsThe collaborative work

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

uncertain future that lies ahead. 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." This course isdesigned to blend the foundational Engineering Sciences (ES) curriculum with anEntrepreneurial Mindset, thereby endowing students with critical knowledge and

Oncerequired as learning outcomes, faculty would benefit from training on teaching these professionalskills and assessment methodology for professional skills development.The site has already added acquiring an entrepreneurial as a student learning outcome andteaches entrepreneurial mindset in stand-alone courses. Still, recent research suggests it shouldbe integrated into technical content. It seems dangerous to off-load these important professionalskills to be only taught outside of the engineering curriculum in either humanities or other stand-alone courses. A more integrated approach is needed. Engineering programs can consider addingentrepreneurial mindset to the engineering

function as apart of an engineering team. Student participation is integral to success in the classroom and success in post-graduation [10]. Students learn better when they have an active participation in their educationand curriculum. This is why the students in the University of North Dakota’s undergraduatebiomedical engineering program include the students in the evaluation of their ABET studentoutcomes. This study employs the involvement of two senior undergraduate students who haveexperienced several IBL courses since the Fall of 2022, all of which used the MOOCIBLplatform and its blockchain-based tokens. The students were tasked with assigning their previousyears tokens to ABET student outcomes at the start of the Fall 2023 semester

course sequence over the 2021-2022 and2022-2023 academic years to determine the effect of EM-focused instruction and first-yeardesign projects on EM growth. We analyzed responses in a pre/post manner within theseacademic years and holistically analyzed across academic years. We used the cross-year analysisto address the impact of curricular changes. Finally, we provide implications and pedagogicalapproaches that can support the development of an EM in the future.2. BackgroundThe Ohio State University (OSU) partnered with KEEN in 2017 and has since integrated EMLacross several courses in its engineering curriculum. This initiative first began with the redesignof the First Year Engineering Program (FYEP) standard course sequence. Alterations to

this experience of writing poems, “wasa lot of fun.”Bob recalled that “the kind of assignments given” in programming courses he took during hisundergraduate and graduate program required him to be creative. Such assignments asked you toutilize “some different thought processes or different ways to get you a solution.” Like Bob,Victor also noted that several programming courses throughout his graduate education, where hewas asked to demonstrate and practice his creative thinking skills. However, he recalled anothercourse from his undergraduate education in a different country, where the first year of theengineering curriculum is the same for all majors. In this curriculum, there was an electrical andelectronics course during the lab in which

meaning and purpose.McAdams writes, “the I becomes an autobiographical author; the Me becomes the story it tells”[17].As such, in modern society, storytelling can be leveraged in a variety of ways to support socialcohesion, identity discovery, and sensemaking to positively impact even the engineeringclassroom. 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

Theoretical courses, hands-on activities, project based learning, teambuilding andleadership opportunities all need to be packed into an accredited curriculum. The challenge for allengineering educators is to provide sufficient and consistent opportunities for engineering studentsto explore new ideas and approaches, act upon those ideas and transform them into value for othersand themselves.

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].

describes the redesign and implementation of a course that introduces engineeringstudents to social entrepreneurship within the context of sustainability, at the University ofPittsburgh. Throughout the semester, the course focuses on three overarching topics: the conceptof wicked problems, the concept of sustainability and climate change (as an example of a wickedproblem), and social entrepreneurship. The author took responsibility of this course in 2015, andthis paper focuses on the redesign of this course since that time.This course is an elective that is mostly taken by junior and senior engineering students of allengineering disciplines at the university. Throughout the semester, students are introduced toentrepreneurship topics, the
