first of three primary assessments is a team project, segmented intoa project proposal, final team pitch, and final team report. Prior to beginning work on thisproject, students are given opportunities to work with a variety of peers during class activitiesand then given structured time during class to form a team of two or three total members. Thisproject provides students a framework for exploring problem spaces of which they share mutualcuriosity, developing multiple ideas to address this problem, discuss their ideas with experts,develop and deliver an inspiring pitch, and write a brief implementation plan and complete abusiness model outline.The second assessment is an active learning, peer teaching activity [7]. Students prepare a 15

. Additionally, we noted that assignments and projects alsosupported connections to community members (often through the use of guest speakers or eveninternships) and connections to future employers (again through the use of guest speakers andinternships). Furthermore, in the high school curricula, there was a strong focus on developingcommunication skills (through both written and oral presentations), developing collaborationskills (through many group projects and peer evaluation opportunities), and also a connection todigital literacy. In fact, entrepreneurship education programs at the high school level were oftenlinked (in both advertising materials provided by the schools as well as in language form syllabi)to 21st Century Skills development

research productivity (e.g., papers published). 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

Ishita served as the finance chair of the Graduate Society of Women Engineers (SWE) and was the co-founder and president of the Biomedical Engineering Department Graduate Students’ Organization. Her career objective is to pursue translational biomedical research in academia. Her leadership goal is to inspire and uplift women who lack opportunities for education, self-development, growth, and leadership.Dr. Timothy J.

, especially, the importance of communication and planning with my peers. The collaborationand participation among my group had to be structured, planned, and dynamic when we researched aboutbio-inspired professional reports. I learned the importance of proactive planning ahead of deadlines andconsistently communicating what my progress was on my research.”“Another skilled learned was teamwork. Teamwork in the project was needed to collaborate all of onesideas to make the best possible outcome. Overall this class taught us all the skills needed to perform bestas an engineer in the field.”“It helped me engage in critical thinking and learn more about how to effectively write summaries afterreading various articles. My approach to problems have changed

research to maximize research impact. Each workshop includes videocontent, a workbook, and a moderator guide, with workshops designed to be deployed either in‐person or virtually facilitated by a workshop moderator.In designing our interventions, we considered alignment with guidelines provided by the Councilon Undergraduate Research (CUR), which include curating engaging and high‐impactopportunities, creating a community of student scholars, peer mentoring, opportunities for earlyand sustained involvement, and program assessment [1].To assess the impact of our workshop-based interventions on student research productivity andattitudes toward research, we developed a retrospective, post-experience survey and a one-yearfollow-up survey for students

student in this course walk away stronger in many aspects than they were before.The peer discussions and informative feedback from the instructor were significant in facilitatingthe writing of a complete program in a creative way to solve the problems.The proposed project focused more on class-wide collaboration. This helped students work withone another and be exposed to outside thoughts and ideas they may not have otherwise. As aresult, students are more engaged in the topic at hand, rather than just sitting there listening to alecture. Moreover, integrating the arts, and bio-inspired design improves student engagement..What improves student engagement, as far as engineering students, is opening the class up to amore collaborative environment

with my time until the very end. I felt as though I started early enough but towards the end, I started to become rushed which is unpleasant when you want to do your best in the creation of this design. I would change the amount of work and the kind of work I will do in the session I work. At first, I was just doing the fun stuff like coming up with ideas and working on rough prototypes which left all the harder report writing for the end. In the future I would like to more evenly balance these two aspects of many projects.”4.2 Flexing the creativity muscleFor reasons such as the open-ended nature of this project as well as sufficiently structured stepsinvolved in the
