twenty-five years there have been calls for the ongoing need for entrepreneurialinnovation to support national and global economies and growth [3] – some of these calls andexplorations of what this might look like have been specific to engineering fields [4]. There aremany interpretations of what entrepreneurial innovation looks like in the education and trainingof engineering students to better prepare them for societies' needs and demands. For the workpresented in this paper, entrepreneurship in engineering education is being conceptualized asaspects of a student's engineering education the support the development and growth of studentsentrepreneurial mindset (EM) - which is defined for this work as a collection of mental habitsthat put
