ABET shifted from simply stating theneed for engineers to “function on multidisciplinary teams” to a more detailedcriterion, which identifies specific aspects of leadership, including “an ability tofunction effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, createa collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meetobjectives” [1].

majors had higherEQ/SQ ratios than their counterparts in STEM majors, with female students in non-STEM majorshaving the highest EQ/SQ ratio (X ¯ EQ/SQ = 1.49). It is clear that gender difference in EQ/SQ ratiowas smaller in STEM majors (1.16 for females vs. 1.02 for males) than in non-STEM majors(1.49 for females vs. 1.12 for males). In engineering majors that had sufficient sample sizes (n >5), the general pattern was that female students had higher EQ/SQ ratios than male students.However, for the three engineering majors with very small sample size (civil engineering,computer/electronic engineering, and engineering technology), the few female students reportedlower EQ/SQ ratios than their male peers (see Table 1).

This study provides a counter-narrative tounderrepresentation of women in this field by presenting the pathways of those achieving orexceeding parity in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields outside ofthe United States.1. Introduction Computer science has been identified as one of the STEM fields most in demand. Computerscience has been identified as a powerful educational tool for critical thinking, problem solving,and creativity [1]. There are studies exploring why participation of female students in the field ofcomputer science in the United States is so low [1],[2]. In 2017, women in the

The research was conducted at theUniversity of Central Florida. The participants in this study are undergraduate students in theCareer Advancement Mentoring Program for Young Entrepreneurs and Scholars (CAMP-YES)Program. All students were invited to participate in an online survey study. Out of the 124students, 32 participated in the study yielding a response rate of 25.8%, and 27 with completeresponses. The survey was comprised of three constructs adapted from previously validatedsurveys measuring a) social identity on the
innovation and promote interest in students to become entrepreneurs.Through this education, students gain the skills and perspective necessary to start their ownbusinesses. These commercialization ventures have high growth potential and programs thatfoster these companies tend to mimic technology incubators [4] in an effort to kick-start thefounding of companies.These concepts of engineering entrepreneurship not only lead to the founding of new businessventures, but also provide significant benefits to student learning in their own right [5], [6]. Thisis evident in the alignment of entrepreneurship exercises with ABET student outcomes [7], as theproduct development process provides the broader societal context often lacking from
