a deep research-oriented infrastructure.The quality of the student projects was an encouraging indication that the objectives of the classwere achieved. All student teams were able to demonstrate a proficiency of the subdisciplinesnecessary to develop an embedded system prototype while the less successful teams failedprimarily at integrating all parts of design prior to the project deadline. The course is beingoffered again in 2020 and the results will be presented.References[1] Kim, E.M., Schubert, T.F., “A low-cost design experience for junior-level electronics circuits laboratories through emulation of industry-printed circuit board design practice,” International Journal of Electrical Engineering & Education, Vol. 53, Issue

likelihood to accomplish a task.Physiological states that are experienced by an individual during an activity such as emotions orstress also have been shown to impact one’s self-efficacy [15].In an effort to relate the self-efficacy aspect of cognitive career theory to engineering students’ andengineers’ perceptions of important skills and abilities Winters et al. [9] conducted a longitudinalstudy. This research study questioned engineering students about their perceived importance ofvarious abilities such as math, science, and business. The individuals were surveyed throughouttheir undergraduate education and then again four years post-graduation. The researchersdetermined that as students’ progress through their undergraduate engineering education

development of engineers that exhibit an“entrepreneurial mindset coupled with engineering thought and action expressed throughcollaboration and communication and founded on character.” [1] In support of this, KEEN hascreated a framework of student outcomes and example behaviors that may be used to inform thedesign of programs seeking to develop an entrepreneurial mindset. These outcomes andbehaviors are centered around what KEEN calls The 3 C’s - curiosity, connections, and creatingvalue. Specific example behaviors of curiosity, connections, and creating value as described bythe KEEN framework may be seen in Figure 1 [1] and it is through this lens that we haveincorporated entrepreneurially minded learning into our undergraduate curriculum.

first-year coursework. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Creating a Master “Entrepreneurial Mindset” Concept MapThe knowledge, skills, and attitudes associated with an entrepreneurial mindset (EM)continue to be debated within the entrepreneurship field. Although overlapping in theirproperties, there exist several definitions of what comprises an EM within engineering. Forinstance, as summarized in a recent review by Zappe [1], EM can range from a problem-solving approach applied within one’s life, to the associated skills and behaviors such asopportunity recognition, creativity, and risk mitigation that may be developed withinindividuals. Due to this range of definitions, it can be

This also allowed us to schedule the Professional Development course and related activities around their coursework and exam schedules. The course instructors, as well as other faculty from the college, participate in the industry tours to facilitate out-of- class interaction with faculty. b) Professional development course: The project team designed a two-credit hour professional development course for the S-STEM Scholars.

development, mentoring from recentalumni, and academic advising. Further, “early exposure to computer science” isprovided in the seminars and program events.Research associated with the program focuses on two main questions: 1) How andto what extent do the program features contribute to the development of self-efficacy, CS/M identity, and sense of belonging? and 2) How does early exposureto computer science through coursework and career awareness affect theexperience of CS/M Scholars? These questions are investigated through focusgroup interviews and surveys of the CS/M Scholars and a comparison group.IntroductionIn this paper we discuss the CS/M (Computer Science/Math) Scholars Program at WesternWashington University.

graduates has grown significantlyover the past decade as new industries and their feeder industries continue to grow. At the sametime, DoD organizations and their contracted subsidiaries in the area have only marginallygrown. However, even with the high demand for engineers in the civilian sector, engineeringstudent veterans still pursue DoD opportunities frequently. In both government and civiliansectors, there is emphasis on producing engineers that are technically proficient and possessprofessional skills such as leadership, organization, time management, and communication—behavioral characteristics often associated with veterans.Surveys and individual follow-up qualitative interviews conducted with representatives fromselected local DoD
