For thosewho felt that they fit the engineering mold, an uncanny confidence came through when theywould define what engineering is and how they saw themselves in engineering. The opposite wasfound for those who did not fit the mold or believed themselves not to. “Um, the reason why I wanna become an engineer, um, just basically be able to use creativity towards exploration where I can actually feel like I'm actually using my mind and my creativity. Not just sitting down, doing office work being a robot, you know, I just wanna basically be part of the future. Just like, uh, Okay. I'll just say, just my personal thing.

The coordinators deliberately left out opportunities for students to exploredifferent engineering disciplines in the redesign. The previous version of the course had becomedisjointed with a variety of topics (including the disciplinary explorations) that eroded theunifying purpose in the eyes of students. Therefore the redesign focused exclusively on the fouracademic outcomes stated previously and omitted topics that were not directly relevant to theseoutcomes.

such as mechanical andcivil engineering [1]. The tools of the engineer in students’ minds are often closer to a hammer ora wrench rather than a test tube or beaker, and thus their conception of engineering is oftenlimited at best [1]. This can get further complicated by the lack of interdisciplinarity exemplifiedin the engineering classroom. When engineering instruction is scaled at the university level, thereis the potential to lose interdisciplinarity as well as too much emphasis on limited topics relevantto the field of engineering [2]. When this happens, the curriculum may revert to limiting thecurriculum to the most popular images of engineering, fields such as mechanical, civil, andcomputer engineering [1].The goal of this work is to

Therefore, when designinglearning experiences with generative AI for undergraduate engineering students, especially intheir first year, we need to be mindful of the gap that can exist between the perceptions held fromtheir K-12 education and those that engineering communities hold.Tinkering as a creative and improvisational approach to design problems has been studied asvaluable for learning engineering [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17].

Moreover, these instructors'beliefs and prior experiences act as filters or amplifiers for their classroom practices.

application of math and science, we mustprepare engineering students to carry out their work with these responsibilities in mind. One wayto do so is implementation of the Entrepreneurial Mindset (EM) which cultivates the significanceof curiosity, making connections, and creating value. An EM promotes information gathering,inter-topic connection making, and constant valuation of an engineer’s product or service and theways in which it supports society. While an EM appears business venture-centered at firstglance, its support and application in the engineering classroom has been growing due to itsrelevance to the role engineers play today [8], [9]. For example, corporations have been callingon higher institutions to graduate more global engineers that

engineering majors and others persistthrough completing the degree [3].Numerous studies have proved the link between a strong sense of engineering identity andsuccess in the field [4]. This ties directly into retention rates as students who see their ownvalidity in engineering disciplines are more likely to stay in undergraduate engineering programs[9]. With this in mind, some universities have tried to increase retention rates by creating spacesfor students to do what we’ve termed, “make.” Dougherty’s [5] universally accepted definitionof “making” encompasses traditional trades like woodworking, sewing, and soldering with moremodern activities including coding, 3D-printing, and laser cutting [6]. Our definition of“making” is similar, but

(KEEN) for contributing to this work.One way that educators have eased the infusion of aspects of entrepreneurship education intoundergraduate engineering curriculum is through Entrepreneurial Minded Learning (EML). Forthis work, we use KEEN’s approach that focuses on attributes of the “Entrepreneurial Mindset”(EM) [3]. Broadly speaking, we define EM as a collection of mental habits that empower one toquestion, adapt, and make positive change that engineers possess and leverage in theirprofessional work. This mindset is applicable for engineers broadly, not only in the context ofentrepreneurial ventures and starting new companies.The increased integration of EM has pushed universities to evaluate its impact. While othershave developed holistic
