, multi-university grantinitiative aimed at facilitating engineering faculty mentorship with a focus on usingthe entrepreneurial mindset as a way to instigate, connect, and contribute impactfulmentoring within engineering. Research in the fields of mentorship and facultydevelopment demonstrate the need for formal and informal mentorship programsto ensure faculty success. This is particularly true for traditionally marginalizedgroups, for whom the formal mentorship model may be more beneficial. Facultymentorship programs are nascent in most engineering programs across the country.Evaluation of mentorship models across higher education settings will inform thefuture development of evidence-based programs.

Framework.EML promotes curiosity, connections, and creating value strategies, known as the 3C’s. TheFLC consisted of four bi-weekly one-hour meetings inviting lecturers, faculty-of-practice, andtenured/tenure-track faculty. The FLC meetings’ primary purpose was to keep faculty engaged inactive sessions related to EML micromoments. The first session consisted of a brief introductionto micromoments to emphasize the need to develop students’ entrepreneurial mindset, followedby sessions exclusively devoted to one of the 3C's. The lead faculty provided a list of EMLmicromoment implementations and examples for each of the 3C's to the faculty participants atthe beginning of the sessions. During the follow-up meetings, each faculty member wasencouraged to

Development (EUFD) workshops to engineeringfaculty to support the development of entrepreneurial mindset in the faculty participants and theirstudents. EUFD workshops consist of 3 days of in-person engagement followed by a year ofcoaching and are focused on developing connections between participants andfacilitators/coaches and among participants themselves. In this project, we use a survey of EUFDparticipants to understand the role of connection in their workshop experience. Our researchquestions are: 1) How many others did participants have meaningful interactions with during theworkshops? And 2) What differences in number of meaningful interactions were there betweendifferent workshops?In our survey, participants selected who among their

examine how facultyCommunities of Practice (CoPs) contribute to developing an entrepreneurial mindset (EM) inengineering education. Participants showed a mindset consistent with EM principles, such asinitiating collaborative solutions, building connections to support innovation, and creating lastingvalue [12], [13]. Though EM was not an explicit focus of the CoP projects, these alignedpractices suggest that CoPs are a promising structure for cultivating EM among faculty. Futurestudies could explore how CoPs foster curiosity, build connections, and create value inengineering classrooms, also assess their impact on student learning. Examining this alignmentcould offer practical strategies for integrating adaptability and entrepreneurial thinking
