, students who had an interest in graduate programs were alsoencouraged to take an M-CURE that focused on writing peer reviewed papers and transition to graduateprograms [3,5].The last element of the CURE experiences was tied to development of an entrepreneurial mindset (EM).EM for this project is defined as a set of attitudes, dispositions, habits, and behaviors that shape a uniqueapproach to problem-solving, innovation, and value creation. In the context of research, we are focused onhelping students connect research with value creation. We have defined a research mindset as a broaderidea that includes many facets of an entrepreneurial mindset. These factors in turn are connected to theidea of student-centered research [6].All of the CUREs in the

progress: How a Cornerstone Course Impacts Self-efficacy and EntrepreneurshipIntroductionEngineers have emerged as pivotal players in technological innovation in the past decadeby founding or actively participating in entrepreneurial ventures [1]. Consequently, policyinitiatives have increasingly supported integrating entrepreneurship programs withinengineering education [2]. Economic shifts and an evolving job market for graduates haveheightened the demand for engineers with an entrepreneurial mindset, which is defined asthe cognitive adaptability that preceeds entrepreneurial behaviors for acting onopportunities, learning from failures, and creating economic and social value throughproblem-solving [6]. Such a mindset

Engineering, University of Arizona, Arizona, USAAbstractPrograms and resources aimed at fostering innovation and an entrepreneurial mindset are now commonacross many institutions of higher education. However, industrial engineering students often engageminimally with available innovation and entrepreneurship (I&E) opportunities at our institution. Thisproject sought to address this challenge at a large public land-grant institution, aiming to increase studentengagement with these resources. Recognizing that engineering students tend to prioritize activities thatearn course credit, the project focused on bridging the gap between entrepreneurship and engineering.

entrepreneurial mindset in undergraduates, students must encounterand learn to navigate obstacles at all levels of learning. Implementing MBL can provide a crucial first-step toward developing failure tolerance.The MBL framework employed by the authors [5, 6] requires students to demonstrate mastery offundamental skills to pass a course. Mastery is demonstrated by completing test questions with near-perfect solutions. Final grades are then based on the number and complexity of skills mastered duringthe semester. Unlike traditional grading systems, MBL does not award partial credit; assessments areevaluated as either Passed or Not Yet. However, students can retake assessments as needed until thecourse ends, allowing each failure to become a learning

entrepreneurial thinking within engineering education throughpatterner institutions [1] . Developing this mindset implies not only technical expertise but alsothe ability for engineering students to identify as entrepreneurs[2]. Identity then becomes a usefullens for understanding individuals’ academic and career motivation [3]; [4]. However, integrationand compartmentalization of these identities can be challenging, as engineering andentrepreneurial skill sets often do not coexist easily within the same individual, leading to atension in identity formation[5]. Though, this integration of engineering innovations withsustainable entrepreneurship principles presents an area requiring further exploration [6] there isa notable absence of entrepreneurship

Engineersand entrepreneurs seek out opportunities, secure and employ resources, and provide leadership tocreate something of value. Engineers may lack entrepreneurship development and exposure dueto curricula focused on technical content, but these very skills and mindset can be developed. Aculture of coachability is a key factor in creating successful, fundable ventures.

examine how facultyCommunities of Practice (CoPs) contribute to developing an entrepreneurial mindset (EM) inengineering education. Participants showed a mindset consistent with EM principles, such asinitiating collaborative solutions, building connections to support innovation, and creating lastingvalue [12], [13]. Though EM was not an explicit focus of the CoP projects, these alignedpractices suggest that CoPs are a promising structure for cultivating EM among faculty. Futurestudies could explore how CoPs foster curiosity, build connections, and create value inengineering classrooms, also assess their impact on student learning. Examining this alignmentcould offer practical strategies for integrating adaptability and entrepreneurial thinking
