wellthey perform in their first-year college courses. It was found that students tend to stick with theirmajor if their grades are high in first-year introductory courses [2]. A statistical report from theNational Center for Education Statistics in 2013 [3] shows that nearly one-third of STEMstudents change their majors and based on cultural belonging [4], [5]. A study on the cognition ofthe human mind and specifically the conation; or the students’ willingness, drive, anddetermination; reports that an introductory engineering course has the potential to activatestudents’ conation, but that there is no significant evidence that such a course impacts students’conation [6].The orientation course discussed here was designed to achieve several goals

The marble machine project3.1 Project overviewThe Marble Machine project was successfully implemented for three semesters (Fall 2023 -Summer 2024) at the Junior level mechanical engineering curriculum. The project parameterswere designed with the following general goals in mind:• The project should be reasonably complex and manufacturing quality-sensitive, but in a compact size suitable for most college manufacturing facilities and budgetary concerns.• The final solution should result in a physical device that is primary mechanical in nature.• The project should impart critical lessons regarding the importance of tolerancing, prototyping, and conducting a thorough failure

One way to add entrepreneurship into education is by addingcourses, but incorporating practical courses may be difficult with the current curriculum.Entrepreneurship can also be integrated into existing engineering courses through adding moreprojects, bringing real-world examples into the classroom, and lecturing less [8].Many components of the entrepreneurial mindset have been identified through the years, butengineering educators have emphasized three main components: curiosity, connections, andcreating value (3Cs
