These include evaluation of a first year experience in a majority-minority engineering college and an initiative to increase diversity in a predominantly white elite engineering college through collaboration with local community colleges. Ms. Schiorring is also evaluating an ATE project to bolster recruitment and preparation of diverse STEM teachers.

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

students best learn modeling practices through their explicit inclusion inthe curriculum [3]. One such approach to incorporate mathematical modeling into undergraduateengineering education is through open-ended modeling problems (OEMPs) in which studentswork either individually or in groups to develop mathematical models that describe a real-worldscenario [17]. OEMPs are similar to Model-Eliciting Activities (MEAs) [19] in that studentsmake and substantiate assumptions throughout the process of establishing their mathematicalmodels. A key difference between MEAs and OEMPs is that OEMPs prompt students toconsider multiple alternatives to determine the first-principles model that best representsthe engineering system in question, which uniquely

The NGSS emphasize scientific inquiry,engineering design, and require K-12 students to have the ability to link broad concepts acrossthe various scientific disciplines in STEM [10]. By exposing children to STEM disciplinesduring the early years through hands-on, interactive, and problem-solving activities, researchindicates that children’s interest in STEM career fields’ increases, which establishes aneducational pathway for their future [11, 12].

Students who areintrinsically motivated naturally lean toward academic achievement [4]. This means that studentswill seek their short or long-term educational goals, depending on each student’s definition ofacademic achievement. Students can also be motivated extrinsically through the use of rewardsor praise [5]. Either way, understanding motivation can be useful to students and instructorsalike. There is little work comparing which types of FYE courses and instruction modes are themost motivating to their students [6-8].

This focus is reflected in the 2004 US National Academy of Engineering report, “TheEngineer of 2020: Visions of Engineering in the New Century,” which links engineering withtechnology and the identity of engineers as technical problem solvers [8].
