Engineering, University of Arizona, Arizona, USAAbstractPrograms and resources aimed at fostering innovation and an entrepreneurial mindset are now commonacross many institutions of higher education. However, industrial engineering students often engageminimally with available innovation and entrepreneurship (I&E) opportunities at our institution. Thisproject sought to address this challenge at a large public land-grant institution, aiming to increase studentengagement with these resources. Recognizing that engineering students tend to prioritize activities thatearn course credit, the project focused on bridging the gap between entrepreneurship and engineering. Theprimary objective of the project was to redesign a required third-year industrial
