First, the evaluation subjects in currententrepreneurial ecosystem evaluation are mainly regional entrepreneurial ecosystem, studententrepreneurial ecosystem and entrepreneurial ecosystem, and university-basedentrepreneurial ecosystem is not included. Secondly, researchers often evaluate theentrepreneurial ecosystem from the internal and external environment or the composition ofthe ecosystem, without considering the various factors involved in the dynamic process of theentrepreneurial ecosystem.

In this paper, I demonstrate how an accessible andinclusive middle school mini-unit on fluid mechanics can be constructed using principles ofculturally-relevant pedagogy, community-based learning, and the Ambitious Science Teachingmodel. By doing so, I hope to push back against dominant perceptions about teachingengineering to young learners and offer an example mini-unit plan for other educators to adaptfor teaching aerospace or other relevant engineering concepts.Conceptual FrameworkThis mini-unit – playfully titled “Cool It!” – was developed using principles of culturallyresponsive and sustaining pedagogies (CRSP), community-based learning (CBL), and

proposed by Kim et al.10. In order to realize a 2-dimensional locomotivemechanism, four spring-type SMA actuators are required to have long stroke and a strongenough force to overcome resistance force due to deformation of small intestine. Thedeveloped actuator is integrated with clampers mimicking claws of insects and an earthworm-like locomotive mechanism is proposed. The SMA actuators can be controlled to contractand stretch by passing current through the wire. When all four SMA are actuated in the samerhythm, the capsule robot moves forward or backward. Turning capability can be achievedby actuating the left and right SMAs in the opposite rhythm. Based on the design of actuators,the capsule robot have the ability to move in 2-dimensional

The set point is where youwould like the measurement to be. Error is defined as the difference between set point andmeasurement. (Error) = (set-point) - (measurement). The variable being adjusted is called themanipulated variable, which usually is equal to the output of the controller. The output of PIDcontrollers will change in response to a change in measurement or set point.

There are limitations of the active learning implementation method and this assessmentstudy that should be noted. Specifically, the addition of in-class collaborative learning activitieswithout any out-of-class videos to offset instructional content necessitated a slight reduction inthe level of detail covered during lectures.

withhigh levels of leadership and professional skills [3]–[5]. Historically, leadership and professionalskills have been referred to as “soft skills” indicating lesser importance than the “hard” ortechnical skills typically associated with engineering. Leadership development was often pushedto the margins of engineering education using an end-of-program project or a few electivecourses to fulfill the requirements [6], [7]. However, recent work explores the potential andsuccess of integrating leadership and professional development into the technical aspects ofengineering education. This literature indicates that out-of-class activities such as summerinternships or research experiences (e.g., REU programs) can be beneficial in furthering
