This paper provides an overview of the course, course topics, and courseassignments. The course places a strong emphasis on the positive impact businesses andentrepreneurial pursuits can have on addressing societal problems, and in particular onaddressing climate change, and highlights the positive role engineers can have on humanity.These foci have been found to be especially

We anticipate key results will include: 1) students’positive perception through engaged learning, 2) student growth in EM connectedness, 3)students’ increased appreciation of multiculturalism, 4) all modalities support growth in student’sEM and multiculturalism competencies, and 5) in-person international travel componentsdemonstrate a larger increase in multiculturalism competencies due to cultural immersion.

They had noticed a gap in the market for a social entrepreneurshipprogram that aimed to do more than just focus on the development of a business plan, andinstead, focused on the many interdisciplinary skills that they thought had made them successfulin their own businesses. Most social entrepreneurship programs tend to be located in a businesscollege or are developed as sub-programs within more established disciplinary areas such aselectrical engineering or public health. Additionally, these funders believed that it was importantto bring more business stakeholders into the development of the degree program. Often, this is aproblem because

We surveyed all past participants of the workshops, and respondents indicated thatthey had received several benefits from the workshop experience including better planning andorganization of research experiences for undergraduates. Faculty reported significant benefits to thestudents such as more attending graduate school but also to their own research practices includingbuilding a capacity for more readily identifying the value of their work.We hope

By having the students participate in the self-assessment processand reflect on their experiences, each student is able to identify outcomes which have not beenachieved and develop a plan to achieve all ABET outcomes prior to graduation. This proactiveself-assessment prompts students to identify weak points in their education and has the potentialto shape better student outcomes, filling all the ABET student outcomes and preparing studentsto be well-rounded engineers.[12].

However, engineering graduatesfrequently face the challenge of acquiring or perfecting these skills in their first year ofemployment. Consequently, to prepare students to compete in a highly competitive job market,engineering programs must incorporate critical thinking and soft-skills training

At GeorgiaTech, a dedicated course on storytelling in the biomedical engineering curriculum benefittedstudents by facilitating intentional development of identity and self-concept. As a result of thecourse, the instructors also found that students wanted to share their newfound ideas morebroadly [3]. In addition, the researchers compared self-reported measures for
