fields [4], [5], [6].In recent years, course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) have been gainingpopularity as a way to engage undergraduate students in authentic scientific inquiry on a largescale [7]. While CUREs have many similarities to traditional laboratory courses or courseresearch projects, the work students do as part of a CURE is framed in a fundamentally differentway. Research projects within CUREs ideally have direct and indirect impact on the broaderscientific community and offer students the opportunity to share study findings with externalstakeholders [8]. Consequently, CUREs represent an overlap between the triumvirate of studentlearning, stakeholder impact, and promotion of a faculty’s research program.In this work

mechanics and bioprocess engineering. She began her position as Director of Community Programs and Diversity Outreach at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences in 2003. In partnership with faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students, she develops and implements programs for K-12 students, teachers, un- dergraduates, and families that are designed to increase scientific and engineering literacy, and to inspire people with diverse backgrounds to pursue science and engineering careers. At the undergraduate level, she directs a Research Experiences for Undergraduates program that brings students to Harvard for 10 weeks to work in research laboratories. This program hosts between 45-70

) recentlyintroduced similar programs called Innovation Corps (I-Corps), which are designed to lead smallteams through customer discovery and business model validation during a seven- to eight-weekbootcamp. Both programs are widely recognized as effective training camps that “preparescientists and engineers to extend their focus beyond the university laboratory” andcommercialize new technology faster [7]. These programs are primarily intended for graduatestudents and start-up business leaders, yet there is a need to engage students in entrepreneurialactivities sooner in their education [8]. One study by Pellicane and Blaho [8] adapted the I-Corpsmodel to an undergraduate course and found that students who participated had significantlyincreased collaboration
