IntroductionThe Entrepreneurial Mindset (EM) is defined as an “inclination to discover, evaluate, and exploitopportunities.[1]” With more than 50 engineering school partners, the Kern EntrepreneurialEngineering Network (KEEN) has adopted and disseminated an Entrepreneurially MindedLearning (EML) Framework to infuse EM in engineering students. The EML framework isfounded on the 3 C’s principles of curiosity, connections, and creating value.[2], [3] Numerousresources

The specific coolhighlighted in this WIP is a survey tool for evaluating EML within CUREs. When completed, webelieve that the insights provided by this research will be of significant value to faculty interestedin promoting student learning through CUREs - especially those with high teaching loads.The overarching research questions (RQ) this study seeks to address are the following: RQ1. In what ways do students in CUREs develop an entrepreneurial mindset? RQ2. What structures or practices help students develop EML through course-based research?This WIP specifically focuses on RQ1

However, insome contexts, they are gaining currency, e.g., the growth mindset (Yeager and Dweck, 2020) orthe entrepreneurial mindset (Bosman and Fernhaber, 2018). Nevertheless, the explicitarticulation of mindsets akin to that of competencies or program outcomes is sparse, particularlyin engineering.

However, the contemporary professionalenvironment demands a broader skill set. Engineering graduates today need to be equippedwith the ability to identify market opportunities, understand customer needs, and developsolutions that are both technologically sound and commercially viable. This shift calls for anintegration of an entrepreneurial mindset (EM) into the core of engineering education. 2.1 The Imperative for an Entrepreneurial Mindset (EM)The concept of EM involves more than the ability to start a business.

. Cognitiveentrepreneurship refers to the ability of an entrepreneur to assemble and analyze previouslyunrelated information to create a new product or service. Behavioral entrepreneurship refers to theway that entrepreneurs can recognize new opportunities while also being willing to pursue theseopportunities with energy and passion. The emotional aspect simply refers to the emotions thatentrepreneurs feel that drive them to pursue opportunities and business that they encounter orpresented to them. These aspects together create what is known as the entrepreneurial mindset[20]. Integrating EM into the engineering/STEM/university classroom benefits students by forcingthem to think outside of mathematical equations and look more at the big picture. Making studentsthink
