maps and reflections will be used to assess student’sgrowth in EM connectedness. A description of each institution’s partnership development andimplementation is presented in this paper. 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. Theteam is finalizing plans for these experiences in fall 2023 and will implement the experiencesand collect data in spring 2024

interest in developing a social entrepreneurship program that had a stronger focus oninterdisciplinary skills. 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

experiences (CURE) into the curriculum. After theworkshop, participants join a year-long coaching process with a faculty mentor to develop and executetheir projects with students.In this paper, we report on the key elements of the workshop design and insights from past participantsacross multiple years. 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

steps or ‘domains’ of academic research which wecategorized as: exploration, planning, execution, interpretation, and dissemination. The KSO-based survey had 18 questions asking students to rate their ability to perform various sub-activities within the exploration, planning, execution, interpretation, and dissemination researchdomains on a five-point likert scale (Table 1 below). A Qualtrics online survey was sent tostudents enrolled in these classes, taken before and after participating in any CURE-relatedactivities. The 18-question survey asked students to rank their perceived ability to performvarious research tasks related to the five research domains using the Likert scale: 1 - Very Poor,Poor, Fair, Good, or Very Good.Survey validation

’ persistence through college and career are real.Students’ expectations of success were found to predict achievement and students’ beliefs in theimportance of engineering were found to predict career plans [19].To address these concerns, researchers have identified the impact of storytelling on students’empathy and self-identity [3], as well as their understanding of social disparities [20]. 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

time management. I used to be very bad at procrastinating and would always wait to the last minute to complete my homework, which created a lot of unnecessary anxiety. By starting this project with the right mindset, I was able to plan out little pieces of the project to complete each day until it was finished.” ii. “Another skill gained is time management. While it still could be improved, this project did force me to start early and keep at it. I did not have the choice to do it in a day and am glad I didn’t.” iii. “Through solving the different iterations and working with the constraints I got better at being able to see how the mechanism

Another study found that entrepreneurial education (EE)positively affects EI, particularly among management and engineering students, although itsimpact varies according to the field of study [11].In a developing country context, a study using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) exploredhow attitudes, perceived behavioral control, and subjective norms impact EI among engineeringstudents in Medellin, Colombia.

intrapreneurial skills and activities within the context of Engineering, andthe Engineering discipline is still very much a focus. While TEKS standards and ABETstandards do not really conflict, they are different. Thus, it has become important to develop ashared language and understanding around what each program must accomplish. This has beenthe backbone of the collaborative activities that are planned for the future. Additionally, the university and the high school have begun to collaborate on project-based learning ideas. Here, too, there have been some tensions around how to create projects thatwould allow students to develop intrapreneurial competencies while also gaining and leveragingEngineering-specific knowledge while completing the

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

One of the greatchallenges and pretensions of the pedagogical construction by competencies is how to teachturning visions into reality [35]. Recognizing this deficiency is fundamental, and efforts should bedirected towards the development of these skills to achieve planned goals and success. Theacademic training process emphasizes the importance of developing entrepreneurial skills in areflective and practical manner. The proposal is to conceive training as a dynamic and social spacewhere interaction with the environment, people, and situations fosters, exemplifies, and enhancesentrepreneurial attitudes.

Therefore, there is a need toreview fields closely tied to entrepreneurship, such as leadership and innovation as well.Furthermore, a more holistic review is needed to examine various aspects of entrepreneurshipeducation beyond the delivery of courses, but with the inclusion of teaching methods,extracurricular activities, and curriculum design.More work is being done in the field of entrepreneurship in Canada, with the development ofcourses that focus on specific aspects of entrepreneurship beyond technical skills.Entrepreneurship education also now focuses on equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI).

Comprehension questions are better answered when the motivation behindthe research is understood. If a specific set of resources is provided to the professors to help in theirunderstanding of the research, they are in turn equipped for the execution of relaying instructions.Asking students to reflect about how their profession creates value allows them to explore importantaspects of the entrepreneurial mindset.
