Native American Engineering StudentsABSTRACTEngineering students have limited opportunities for experiential learning, especially at TribalColleges and Universities, where engineering programs tend to be small, and resources areextremely limited. Typically, the first and senior years of a student's engineering educationjourney are infused with hands-on projects and capstone courses. However, the sophomore andjunior years generally need more opportunities for active learning, gaining professional skills,and developing a sense of professional practice. Also, scholars have increasingly realized thatarts subjects help students understand connections between different disciplines from acomprehensive perspective.This study highlights findings from

Rodriguezand Liber (2020), in particular, call out the goals, and potential benefits, of entrepreneurshipeducation. They highlight the ways that entrepreneurship education in high schools can, andshould, be linked to the development of skills linked to design-thinking, to thinking towardinnovative practices and processes, and the ways that entrepreneurship programs can be a‘gateway’ to actual entrepreneurship projects. As we examined curricula from several differenthigh school programs, we saw the connection of the assignments, readings, and projects to theskills-development listed above

Our research project is focused on how EM may be infused into undergraduate researchexperiences for engineering students. For several years, we have offered a workshop to help facultydevelop methods to build EM into research practice.

Some studieshave suggested the I-Corps model has several potential benefits within undergraduate education,but more research is needed to elucidate the features of I-Corps that are most valuable at theundergraduate level.In this study, we developed a new Entrepreneurial Bioengineering elective course for junior andsenior undergraduate engineering students that models various aspects of the I-Corps program.The course introduces entrepreneurship, business model canvas, and lean start-up principles tothe students with a focus on medical device customer discovery and technologycommercialization. Students work in teams to form project ideas, interview customers, testbusiness model hypotheses, and present their discoveries. The goal of this

These ‘deliverables’ tie to benefits that, we believe, will enhancecareer preparation for students.theories of interdisciplinaritySeveral theories could have supported our work on developing a program in SocialEntrepreneurship. We are aware of the literature suggesting that theories of community-engagement (Tekic et al., 2022; Wallerstein et al. 2020), and even collaborative building () couldhave been used to guide this project.

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
