For thepurposes of this paper, entrepreneurship will be associated with the process of establishing a newbusiness venture.There is evidence, however, that exposure to such education has a positive impact and betterprepares students for the contemporary workplace. A study of senior-level engineering students Page 25.1259.4found that those who had taken one or more entrepreneurship courses had significantly higherentrepreneurial self-efficacy than those who did not and were also more likely to get hands-onskills

However, when failing to solve a complex problem, students often fail toprecisely evaluate what component knowledge they lack or what skills they need. This canhinder the student’s metacognitive regulation of their learning progress, lower their self-efficacy,and stifle their motivation. Learning activities and assessments that explicitly communicate andscaffold students’ learning progress across the different levels of learning outcomes will providestudents with a better opportunity to plan and adjust their learning plan accordingly.Scaffolding is the process that aims to deconstruct a complex assignment into

In our sample, participants often reported on how crucial the influence and support of members of the community and family was in shaping their career interests and self-efficacy in achieving a career in STEM.2. Redefining success was an important aspect of the counter narrative about motivations for academic and professional pursuits. While participants did report recognition, personal fulfillment, and a desire for success as motives toward their academic and professional pursuits, they also reported the need to have an impact on emerging FWoC and other minority populations entering STEM fields, a need to create value specifically around having a social impact either within or outside their current institution.

Respondents to the survey with mindful attitudes were more likely tohave been involved with leadership and entrepreneurial clubs, courses, and initiatives.

to ensure validity focused onensuring that the instrument was designed to measure what it was supposed to measure: didthe students’ drawings of a scientist depict specific characteristics that are stereotypical of ascientist’s image? To increase the validity of the subject produced drawings, researchersdeveloped coding schemes that attempted to standardize the identification of stereotypicalcharacteristics in the drawings. Codification schemes allow for human ‘raters’ or ‘coders’ tobe trained, and the use of inter-rater reliability measures among raters allowed researchers toeither modify the coding scheme or retrain the raters. Humans as ‘raters’ are fallible;therefore, the use of a score or statistical measure of homogeneity among raters

matters. (p. 123)A separate but related phenomena to creativity is innovation. Specifically, based on extensiveinterviews with serial innovators, Dyer, Gregersen, and Christensen (the authors of theInnovator’s) DNA postulate that innovators tend to be avid questioners, observers,experimenters, and idea networkers. They framed these four phenomena as the “behavioraltendencies” of serial innovators. In alignment with the Innovator’s DNA, we identify innovationas much more than a function of the brain but also a function of behaviors [7]. In the context ofengineering design, to be an innovative engineer requires the act of doing or creating.We recognize that behavior is fundamentally contingent upon one’s inner drives, motivations,values, self
