), freshman students begin their studies within theirchosen major, typically taking an introductory engineering course specific to their discipline.For undecided engineering students, they have the option to start in a general engineeringprogram to help them select a major. FIT has had great success using this general engineeringmodel to improve student retention and time to graduation; however, improvement can be madein preparing students to be innovative, entrepreneurial-minded professionals. The purpose of thispaper is to describe the activities focused on exposing students to the entrepreneurial mindset andpreparing them for engineering careers. An introductory course in the General Engineeringprogram comprises both a lecture and a lab component

We conducted statistical analysis(ANOVA, regression analysis) and text analysis of the quantitative and qualitative data. Findingsfrom both data sources showed that women and people of color experienced more implicit bias atwork than white men.Regression analyses showed that, after controlling for age, education, workplace seniority, andacademic status, women still reported more Prove-It-Again, Tightrope, and Maternal Wall bias,and Asian and African-American engineers reported more Prove-It-Again and Tightrope bias,than their

One engagement protocol that mixesbest practices from Adams’ work and is similar to the liberative ones employed by Riley is usedby one faculty member who requires all students to stand while discussing an element of designfrom the project, and the next speaker must amplify the previous student’s statement in terms ofhis own.

This is a major problem as it creates a disconnect between what they can teach and howit will connect to the main reason why the majority of their students are in college in the firstplace – to be prepared for a career outside of academia. Therefore, engineering faculty withoutprofessional experience outside of academia who plan to use storytelling in their courses, mustmake an extra effort to find stories that are relevant to their course topics.3 They may borrowcourse-related stories from colleagues who do or have worked in the field, from professionalpublications, and from professional society meetings. However, answering student questionsabout these borrowed stories may
