enough to ensurestudents reach their desired outcomes [27].The benefit of WREAs toward employability originates primarily through skill development andthe expansion of personal networks. For example, research suggests that internships serve as away to build technical, leadership, and entrepreneurial skills [18]. Although postsecondaryeducation and engagement in WREAs contribute to broad human capital and aid in developingan individual’s critical thinking, skills are environmentally contextualized in how they form andare employed [28]. As such, we should strive to think of soft skills, such as communication andleadership, within the context of the environment in which they form to adequately understand astudent’s ability to navigate an

. Identify moments in their journey that tell a specific story. 2. Use the basic structure of stories to create, iterate, and refine stories from their journey. 3. Deliver a story with commitment and energy. 4. Provide constructive feedback in a peer review process. 5. Integrate constructive peer feedback in order to iterate and refine stories. 6. Reflect on integrative connections across their experiences both inside and outside the classroom. 7. Have a collection of stories that shows you have an entrepreneurial mindset – meaning, you are someone who is curious about the rapidly changing world, you make connections among different things you know about, and most important of all, you seek to use your skills to make
biomedicalengineering program found that story-driven learning assisted with the development of students’self-concept clarity (Morgan et al., 2021). Moreover, the course was designed to help targetanother intended outcome: entrepreneurial mindset (EM). EM not only regards the developmentof students’ engineering skill set, but to also automate the use of that skill set to create value forthemselves, others, and society as a whole. The entrepreneurial mindset involves the constantintention to create value, coupled with curiosity and a desire to make connections acrossseemingly unrelated information (Morgan et al., 2021). As such, EM cuts across both self-concept clarity and leadership outcomes to foster students’ holistic personal and

Third, Innovation and Entrepreneurship by fostering global mindsets andhands-on opportunities. Collaboration with industry and educational institutions, recognizedcredentials, internationally certified courses, competitions, hackathons, one-on-one consultation,and collaborative workspaces are all integral parts of the initiative.In this work-in-progress paper and poster, we present the design paradigm of the studentprogram, and elaborate on its execution and key success factors

Instructors’ Mindset Toward NeurodiversityMultiple studies have investigated instructors’ views about and their preparedness to teachstudents who vary in terms of their needs, abilities, and interests. These studies show that facultylack awareness of the legal requirements related to accommodations [13]-[15], lack knowledgeof inclusive pedagogies [16], and that they want more training related to accessibility [17].STEM faculty have also been shown to be less amenable to the use of accommodations in theircourses and to hold more negative beliefs than their counterparts in other academic disciplines[18]-[20].

By integrating these two perspectives, it is possible to gain a morecomplete understanding of how shared knowledge and beliefs shape societal attitudes andpractices related to neurodiversity. This can help to create a strength-based mindset thatrecognizes the unique abilities and contributions of neurodiverse individuals and works toinclude them in all aspects of society.In summary, Epistemic community theory can provide the technical understanding ofneurodiversity while the collective unconscious can provide the cultural and psychologicalunderstanding of societal attitudes and perceptions. Together they can provide a framework forpromoting
align with the researchresults in Venkatesh, Fong, and Yeter [44], where researchers investigate how engineeringundergraduates consider ethics within their engineering courses. Similarly, Venkatesh et al.incorporated the EDIPT model to guide students through a newly designed engineeringcourse [45]. Findings show that most students were fixated on professionalism and client-centered responsibility, such as meeting customers’ requirements via problem-solving. Thus,it is evident that the EDIPT model is highly relevant in Asia as the concept and problem-solving mindset embedded in the model align with the existing skillset and critical thinkingskills of the students in Singapore.In the Western context, American scholars have utilized a case study
