with major themes in each student’s academic discipline. Thus,students may be strongly affected by the overarching contexts in which they have come tounderstand engineering.More acute encounters (i.e., specific project characteristics) have also been shown to affectstudents’ innovation-related capabilities, knowledge, and awareness. One key factor seems to bespecific pedagogical interventions. For example, students who have participated inentrepreneurship courses often report greater knowledge, skills, and attitudes related toinnovation17,18. Further, students who received targeted training in empathic design producedmore innovative concepts on a follow-up design task21. Additional project characteristics,including team composition and
