have to be creative to write the story, and then, at the same time, you have to constantly be looking at it and asking yourself. Does that make sense? Does that make sense? Does that make sense?”DiscussionThe emergent findings of this study suggest the presence of six research mindset themes: BeOpen-Minded, Believe, Persist, Be Honest, Be Critical, and Have a Writing Mindset. It isinteresting to observe that a few emergent themes for research mindset have also been seen forother mindsets but with different contexts attached to them. Being open-minded is a constructobserved in many other mindsets (e.g., entrepreneurial mindset [27] and design thinking mindset[28]). The context within which open-mindedness is considered is different in

goals of the PAtENT pilot program are as follows. The program goal is to create an alternatepathway for doctoral students in STEM domains to pursue entrepreneurship, through a patentproposal, that addresses the workforce landscape. The research goals are to understand theconditions that develop entrepreneurial mindsets in doctoral students, and how the PAtENTmodel can be scaled within our university and to others.PAtENT CurriculumThe curricular pathway is designed to be integrated into the doctoral degree program. Ratherthan operating as a standalone, extracurricular model, the PAtENT model allows students to optinto entrepreneurial coursework that counts toward their degree. Students whose preliminaryresearch demonstrates potential for

resource, are accessible, reusable, andadaptable learning tools that can be utilized to advance learning and professional development[13]. Additional work has shown that learning effectiveness is related to the integration of RLOsinto learning activities [15]. Prior RLO efforts have made use of games [16] and student-produced artifacts [17]. RLOs tend to be reusable for the instructors who oversee updates [16] orstatic, non-living products produced by the student, such as portfolios [18]. ThisCustomer/Career Discovery Bootcamp aims to provide RLOs in the form of a mindset andtoolkit approach for students to adopt that can guide and inform current and ongoing careerchoices.Defining short-term and longer-term career goals relies upon self-reflection

time commitments that doctoralresearch might take. Course-based implementations have more potential to become widelyaccessible with a lower investment requirement by academic institutions. However, impactfulentrepreneurial education programs might require dedicated teaching teams since most of thesecourses are designed to include seminars and workshops taught by academic and industry expertsfrom varying fields. Moreover, most of the course-based approaches, though effective inimproving entrepreneurial mindset and readiness, are not sufficient to enhancecommercialization of university research - that is, the transfer of knowledge and technology fromlab to market. Even though there are some established positive outcomes (as described in

2018publication Graduate STEM Education for the 21st Century [1], emphasize the importance of transforminggraduate education to address these gaps. This transformation requires programs to incorporatecommunication, teamwork, leadership, and adaptability skills, essential for success in academia, industry,and entrepreneurial endeavors. At the University of Pittsburgh’s Swanson School of Engineering, theDepartment of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering has pioneered this transformation by developing aPersonalized Learning Model (PLM) for graduate education.The PLM, funded by the National Science Foundation Innovations in Graduate Education award, introducesa five-component framework to personalize graduate learning.
