The case studies represented by student perspectives shared herein will help todevelop a framework for structuring future projects and entrepreneurship programs.MotivationThis article demonstrates via three cases studies the successful long-term outcomes of institutional effortsinitiated with the founding of HMRCOE. Multidisciplinary, student-initiated ventures are concurrentlysupporting hands-on, experiential engineering education within collaborative teams. The student co-authors identify different faculty and staff who instigate their entrepreneurial experiences, and yet theyexpress a shared drive, motivated by some personal trait. Herein, we capture facets of their early journeysin ideation, toward creating value, along career paths full

Her research focuses on how identity, among other affective factors, influences diverse students to choose engineering and persist in engineering. She also studies how different experiences within the practice and culture of engineering foster or hinder belonging and identity development. Dr. Godwin graduated from Clemson University with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and Ph.D. in Engineering and Science Education. Her research earned her a National Science Foundation CAREER Award focused on characterizing latent diversity, which includes diverse attitudes, mindsets, and approaches to learning to understand engineering students

Competence, belonging, motivation, and assimilationexist with a student’s internal and external environments. Although these four constructs may ormay not affect each other, each is greatly affected by the internal and external environments. It isno longer feasible

. 11. INTRODUCTIONSeveral factors have been identified to contribute to the uneven pursuit and completion of engineering andcomputer science degrees based on race and ethnicity: (a) the lack of exposure to engineering or computerscience as fields of study or as career opportunities [1], (b) the lack of professional identity (inability tosee oneself as a professional) [2], (c) an impaired sense of belonging [3, 4], and (d) the lack of self-efficacy (how well one can execute a course of action to deal with a prospective situation) [5]. Thedemands of an engineering and computer science curriculum contribute to high dropout rates [6], evenhigher for underrepresented students [3, 7, 8].
