: this topic focused on reliving a special moment of achievement and recognition; • Introduce your readers to a mentor who supported you: this topic often highlighted the contributions of a teacher, parent, or other mentor who helped to guide the student.Students wrote a different story every week, first as a draft (followed by a review session withstudent peers and the instructor) and then as a revised text. Students did not receive a grade fortheir weekly writing; instead, the course focused on writing feedback that could allow the studentto develop their own writing process.In a required junior-level Thermodynamics course and in two upper-level elective courses inCivil and Environmental Engineering, students were asked to write

greater EME via their suggestions and discussions, thustying to the creating value facet of EML. As observed by Trimble & Lichtenstein [15] in theirwork with students, peer review scores were overly generous, and some teams provided moresubstantive feedback than others. Although the rubric is useful in supplying detailedrequirements and associated scores during peer review, future iterations of the EME couldbenefit by providing students with detailed instructions on how to provide meaningful peerreview feedback. A lesson on how to peer review materials would be a wonderful opportunity topartner with the campus library and/or writing center.The end goal of the project, from the students’ perspective, is to create and present their

. 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

. iv. Midterm business model report is a summary of the business model creation and entrepreneurial activities in a progress report technical writing format. The students will document the progression of their business model and how their initial business model hypotheses were validated or rejected (backward-looking summary). Also, the students will provide a forward-looking summary to provide insights over the next phase of the project. v. Teamwork effectiveness assignments ensure that all team members contribute fairly and effectively in all entrepreneurial activities. The students are required to evaluate their peers four times throughout the semester using the team creation/evaluation software

, students who had an interest in graduate programs were alsoencouraged to take an M-CURE that focused on writing peer reviewed papers and transition to graduateprograms [3,5].The last element of the CURE experiences was tied to development of an entrepreneurial mindset (EM).EM for this project is defined as a set of attitudes, dispositions, habits, and behaviors that shape a uniqueapproach to problem-solving, innovation, and value creation. In the context of research, we are focused onhelping students connect research with value creation. We have defined a research mindset as a broaderidea that includes many facets of an entrepreneurial mindset. These factors in turn are connected to theidea of student-centered research [6].All of the CUREs in the

conflicts of interest affectingacademic researchers. First, there continues to be a significant push to get more graduate studentsinvolved in technology commercialization through university-based initiatives or nationalprograms such as the NSF’s I-Corps. Second, in a class we teach on technology entrepreneurshipand research translation (see Duval-Couetil, Ladisch, et al., 2021), we observed that graduatestudents had limited awareness of potential conflicts that can occur when engaging inentrepreneurial activity.Each year, students in this course attend a lecture on COIs relevant to academicentrepreneurship, presented by an administrator from our university’s Office of Research. Afterthe last lecture, we asked students to reply in writing to the

customer discovery interviews completed as experientialhomework.The librarian used the Research Out, Knowledge In (ROKI) model [5] to deliver a workshop thatprovided maximum choice and engagement for students in the library databases and ChatGPTclass. The ROKI model invites students to learn by ‘doing and reflecting’ among peers and moreexperienced practitioners. Here, students work through one of four activity sheets, in groups, toexplore library resources such as Pitchbook, BCC Research, Statista, and IBISWorld. Eachactivity sheet provides prompts that guide students in navigating specific features and keycontent pieces that might be useful for their project. Students then share back reflections and anyquestions they have with each other and

Additive Manufacturing and CharacterizationThis course covers topics related to the fundamental concepts of additive manufacturing (AM) andmaterials characterization. The first 60% of the class focuses on the introduction and basic 3principles of additive manufacturing, including but not limited to AM of polymeric, ceramic, andmetallic parts. Topics such as ink-based direct writing, laser-assisted additive manufacturing,thermal spray, and hybrid AM technologies will be discussed. The second part of the class coverstopics on a variety of techniques used to characterize the structure and composition of engineeringmaterials, including metals, ceramics

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

. Additionally, Iron Range Engineering had allmajors undertake entrepreneurial projects, resulting in the development of a business plan[12].Beyond the confines of specific majors, Loh et al. [13] discuss a second-major option forundergraduates at the National University of Singapore (NUS). This initiative allows studentsfrom any major to participate in multidisciplinary project work aimed at cultivating aninnovative and entrepreneurial mindset. At the master's level, the University of Duisburg-Essen offers a Master of Arts in Innopreneurship, designed to equip students with the skillsneeded for self-employment or innovative roles within established companies [14].Whereas the focus of our writing up to now has been on the form of innovation
