In fact, although some scholars have been discussing the university-based entrepreneurship ecosystem, they have not yet reached a consensus on its concept, but the elements of that ecosystem proposed by scholars also share some commonalities (Table 1).

In 2016,the industry employed 10.328 million people in the United States alone, with a payroll ofapproximately $792.5 Billion. AGC estimates that an extra $1 billion in nonresidentialconstruction spending adds about $3.4 billion to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) (AGC 2018).Preparing a qualified and well-trained workforce to manage construction projects is theresponsibility of academic and vocational institutions. This effort is supplemented by the on-the-job-training provided by the industry. Currently, the industry is

There is a growing need to replace an aging constructionworkforce and shortfall in skilled tradespeople, especially considering many do not considerconstruction an ideal career choice. A vital point often overlooked is the underlying motivation topursue STEM or CM as a career choice. Despite attempts, there is an opportunity to gain deeperinsights from individuals in CM degree programs. This study explores the following research questions:1) What are the common attributes of college students that decide to pursue CM degrees; and, 2) Whatkey motivational drivers that encourage students to remain in STEM majors?

are often considered the most foundational for engineering students.Yet, these courses have become impenetrable from changes in content and pedagogy and areoften abstracted from any human or societal context. One reason for this abstraction may be dueto the understandably prolific use of the “engineering problem-solving method” (EPS) or“engineering as problem definition and solution” (PDS), which teaches students how tomethodically approach a technical problem and produce easily checked solutions [1]. However,the EPS method has perpetuated the dominance of mathematical problem solving as the highestvalue in engineering [2], often unintentionally reinforcing the worldview that technical rigor ismore important than the context in which

Creativity, apseudo-cognitive construct, is likewise cited as a desirable trait among engineers. In previouswork we showed that a project-based design course rich in brainstorming activities resulted in asemester-long improvement in certain aspects of creativity compared to a course that wasrelatively poor in brainstorming activities [1]. Not all design courses, however, are equal in thedegree to which they are project-based. This led us to question whether overt training increativity could yield even greater improvements in creativity than are already gained in a skills-based design course.A

Critical race theory was popularized in the 1980s for its use in legal studies[1] – and a decade later in education. Although three decades have passed since this movementof race research ignited, the engineering profession still lacks diversity. Whites are still themajority within engineering, which in turn culturally defines the field. In this setting, onepotential response from Blacks is that they hide their Black identity to blend into the dominantWhite workplace culture. To study this situation, we offer an extension to the work of WendyFaulkner and her concept of in/authenticity that women

Technology consideredto be the product that results from the process of engineering. Unfortunately, there is littleagreement on what concepts and practices should be taught, or to whom they should betaught, or indeed the definitions themselves. Hence the symposium that is the subject of thiscommentary [1]. Cui Bono engineering and technological literacy?Krawitz’s wrote in response to the anchoring article that part of “ ‘liberal education’ beyondthe student’s major is delivered through the General Education portion of the curriculum, aseries of elective courses with
