to the science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) disciplines continue for women in higher education.This study explores the entrepreneurial mindset development that is associated withprofessional identity formation (Clarke, Hyde, Drennan, 2013; Park & Schallert, 2020). 4Studies of women of color have mostly focused on students. Additionally, the studies have engagedthe work from other frames that did not include an entrepreneurial mindset. The entrepreneurialmindset looks at the engagement of work from a model of success. Next, are research studies thatwe will reference to make the case for why this is important.Physiological and Mental

Engineering and Computer Science at Ohio Northern University, where he currently teaches first-year programming and user interface design courses, and serves on the college’s Capstone Design Committee. Much of his research involves design education pedagogy, including for- mative assessment of client-student interactions, modeling sources of engineering design constraints, and applying the entrepreneurial mindset to first-year programming projects through student engagement in educational software development. Estell earned his BS in Computer Science and Engineering degree from The University of Toledo and both his MS and PhD degrees in computer science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.Dr. Stephany

actual list of attributes was pages long. It was notso much the content on that list but the mindset it put us in. We knew our list of attributes wasdifferent from what we had experienced in our own educational journeys and different from thetypical model of engineering education offered. We were willing to imagine a differentengineering graduate and believed that society demanded a different kind of engineer. Thiswould mean though that how we educate them will need to look different and that was the goalahead of us. We would look back to this list of WFU Engineer attributes to remind us of ourvision and as our team grew, and I would share the document with our new colleagues (even inmidst of our accreditation work). This iterative approach was

on empathy development in STEM education, and specific learning activities or coursesworking to achieve this goal. The results were defined in terms of the patterns observed, topicsassessed, and contributions made to the existing body of knowledge. Although there may be arange of approaches employed, such as through storytelling or role play, embedding empathy cannot only shape students’ internalization of the concept, and the resultant shift of mindset, but itcan also be critical to formulating their connection to the discipline and their exchanges withothers. The publications obtained, and subsequent analysis, can be of tremendous value towardsunderstanding how departments can create more inclusive curricula and environments
