The primarycommonalities to all majors are a set of math, physics, chemistry, writing, and technology andsociety courses. With this structure, it is not surprising to learn that students in different majorsdevelop different sets of rigorous technical skills and that these skills do not

The primary enabling technology is statisticalprogramming with Python. The case studies are introduced as group assignments and aremotivated in class or discussion sessions.

Here, it is important to remember that theentrepreneurial mindset focuses on one’s mental attitude and belief system, which is acquired andnurtured over time with continued practice, reflection and feedback. As explained by Carol S.Dweck, a change in mindset requires effort, practice, and challenging tasks [7]. Regardless ofwhether it is the entrepreneurial mindset or the growth mindset, practice and more practice canchange one’s beliefs and attitudes, which in return can instill and reinforce the entrepreneurialmindset. Common methods for integrating practice, reflection, and feedback into the curriculumcan be through semester-long scaffold projects, journaling, peer feedback, and formativeassessments.#4: Curriculum Design for Best
