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

entrepreneurial mindset as required student attributes for graduation. 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

Photovoice is a participatoryaction research strategy, an ethnographic and experiential technique combining photography andimages, narrative and critical dialogue, and reflection to uncover social issues and promotechange [13], [14]. In return, that will enable students to share information and allowinterpretation processes at a deeper level.1.1 Problem IdentificationSustainability is a complex problem and a decision-oriented endeavor that requires the expertiseand integration of business, architecture, engineering, technology, community, policy, and law[15]. Subsequently, engineering curricula must cultivate an ability to recognize the importance ofdiverse knowledge to solve this emerging problem. In addition

. In order to break down thefaculty/staff/student barrier, each student finds professors and staff members whose interests alignwith their passions. Experienced entrepreneurs, serving as “Entrepreneurs or Innovators InResidence” to the college play a key role, enabling fellows to see the links between their academicpursuits and their entrepreneurial passions. This personal coaching has been extremely effectiveover the first three years of the fellowship program, kick-starting students into high levels ofengagement and ownership in charting their path. Students also meet with entrepreneurial peerleaders (typically junior or senior level undergraduate fellows) regularly to help navigate collegelife.During the winter interim, fellows start an

) and Centers(offering co- or extra-curricular activities) [6]–[8]. Particularly noteworthy is the growth overthe last 20 years in the number of programs and centers and the growth in faculty support andinvolvement in such Programs and Centers [9].Efforts to integrate entrepreneurial skills into existing engineering courses have been notable.For instance, Schar et al. [10] introduced a series of case studies in an introductory mechanicscourse, under the label of Scenario Based Learning. These case studies challenged students toapply their mechanics-based analysis skills to support product decisions involving businesselements. Woodcock et al. [11] explored how an engineering capstone design course couldhelp students learn entrepreneurial skills
