The third category emphasizes affectivefactors, which are the feelings one has, such as self-efficacy, intention, interest, or motivation[8], [11]. These domains are used conjointly when integrating learning course objectives withEML components. Furthermore, to implement an entrepreneurial mindset, students must acquirethese affective factors in combination with learning the same framework and approaches asentrepreneurs [8].

Thiscourse aims at preparing students for the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam throughreviewing major topics within engineering. The FE exam is a nationwide, criterion-referenced,discipline-specific test. Engineering students typically take the FE exam during their senioryear. Students take the FE exam for a variety of reasons including the pursuit of engineeringlicensure. The course is designed to review material students covered in prior courses and tosynthesize main points from those courses.The first nine weeks of this course were

The assigned texts opened up discussions of studentexpectations about entering the professional world; students were also taught fundamentalinterview techniques and given the opportunity to practice them with each other. This dualfocus—philosophical and practical—was intended to enrich students’ ability to thoughtfullyinterview the alumni and promote self-efficacy. Each student met with project leaders threetimes: for an introductory meeting to explain the concept of Vision Venture and to learn about thestudents’ personal goals for their participation; for a workshop discussion of assigned readingsand a lesson on semi-structured interview skills; and for

, can lead to deficit-based thinking and discriminatory behaviors [11], [13]–[15].The ideology of meritocracy also perpetuates inequities in engineering through its reliance on theconcept of “merit” to compare individuals. “Merit” is often defined as synonymous with “talent,”“achievement” and/or “hard work” [3]–[6]. The logic of meritocracy suggests that individualswho possess more “merit” deserve more rewards and opportunities [2]–[6]. However, evaluating“merit” is not a straightforward process. Attempts to do so have often reproduced existinginequalities. For instance, standardized tests such as the SAT have historically been used as aproxy measure for student merit in the context of seeking admission to selective colleges [3], [5],[6

Additionally, a sense of belonging iskey to one connecting with their classmates, their community, and eventually their profession[4]. This sense of belonging is not only invaluable to fostering connection and identity, it is alsokey to motivation and resilience [6].Lack of belonging negatively impacts students’ academic performance as well as theirengineering identity.
