EM.IntroductionEntrepreneurship education has been regarded as an important component of undergraduatetraining programs in the last decade [1], including in engineering education [2]. For example,94% or above of faculty and academic administrators believe that students should have access toinnovation and entrepreneurship opportunities via electives and/or extracurricular activities,despite their personal engagement level in those opportunities [2]. Most respondents in the study,however, identify challenges to making entrepreneurship a core component of curriculum, with a“lack of room in curriculum” reported as the most common challenge [2].The author(s) acknowledge The Kern Family Foundation’s support and collaboration through theKern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network

This research aims to find whether taxi time at airports differ by airport hubclassifications and by the number of hot spots on airports.For this study, a sample of 33 airports was selected from the 77 airports listed in the AviationSystem Performance Metrics (ASPM) [5] data published by the FAA. The researchers sampledthe 11 busiest airports (by number of operations conducted) from each of the three hubcategories – Large (L), Medium (M), and Small (S) – as identified by the National Plan ofIntegrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) [6]. The 20 busiest days (by number of operationsconducted) from May 01, 2022, to September 30, 2022 were selected for each airport. From theASPM dataset, average quarter-hour taxi-in and taxi-out times between 06

To address these needs,we brought in an undergraduate student panel to discuss a variety of topics and were given thefollowing questions to discuss: ● What do you wish you had been told in high school about applying to an engineering program? ● What do you wish you had been told about the engineering profession? ● What are some of the benefits of an engineering degree, as you see it? ● Do you know someone who you think would be an excellent engineering student? Why do you think s/he did not pursue engineering? ● What’s the number one skill set a prospective engineering student should be working on in high school? ● What’s the number one
andEngineering Education” published in the United States in the 1990s[1], STEMeducation has been formally proposed and gradually known to the public as anemerging mode of training innovative talents. As a new wave of the S&T revolutioncharacterized by digitalization, intelligence, and green innovation surges, STEMeducation plays an increasingly important role in the supply of innovative talents.STEM education focuses on real issues, adopts interdisciplinary content arrangement,and emphasizes improving students’ ability to apply multidisciplinary knowledge andstimulating creative thinking. Since STEM education is in line with the practicalneeds of societal development for talent training, it has soon attracted the attention ofgovernments worldwide

We used this scale with the purpose of exploringstudents’ ethnic identity identification [36]. Because Latinx ethnic identity can be complex andvaried, we developed an initial question to allow the students to self-identify ethnically(Latin/Hispanic, Puerto Rican/Boricua, etc.), they then answered follow-up questions related tothat identity such as “I have a strong sense of belonging to other _____ people,” and “Mostpeople think that ______(s) are as smart as people of other groups.”Sense of Belongingness in Computer Science: Items were selected from the Sense of Social andAcademic Fit (in STEM) instrument [37
