Targeted interventions like these can equip first-year studentswith the skills needed for long-term success. To support student wellbeing, many universities have implemented mental healthservices, peer mentorship programs, and wellness initiatives. Strategies such as Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) programs have shown promise in reducing stress levels andimproving mental health outcomes for students [23]. Moreover, another intervention, introducedby [24], enabled first-year engineering students to measure their own biometric data to observethe results

learning environment where students can exclusively learnabout JEDI concepts. While students have the incentive to get credit for such courses, the limitationto this approach is that many of the abstracts did not mention that they were required coursesindicating that students would have to elect to take them. 6Lastly, pedagogical strategies were used by faculty to indirectly teach students about JEDIconcepts (n=31). Cantilina explored the use of culturally sustaining pedagogy (CSP) to reduceharm and violences against equity-minded students [18]. By emphasizing different culturalpractices in engineering, the goal of this work is to sustain equity

KEEN defines EM to be a collection ofmental habits and attitudes that inform one’s approach to problem solving and value creation forsociety [4]. Teaching students to harbor EM is done via Entrepreneurial Minded Learning (EML)and the 3Cs: Curiosity, Connections, and Creating Value [4].
