technical entrepreneurship course - cap tables, building financial capital, how to get VC funding, etc. but it was so much more. It definitely introduces some of these technical concepts but at its core, the class is about learning to be radically honest with yourself and becoming cognizant of who you are and how you approach leadership, entrepreneurship, and life in general. For me, the most valuable part of the class was the set of self analysis and introspection tools the teaching staff provided as well as the ability to hear a myriad of perspectives from entrepreneurs and VCs at various stages in their career.Student comments suggest there is something of value here, and as a teaching team, we aspire toidentify and

. Social capital (people in their social group that can helpthem become an engineer) provides feelings of acceptance and belief that others desire to see aperson perform well [3]. Students who feel engaged within their major and classes oftendemonstrate a higher sense of belonging than those who do not [5], [6]. Research has also showna strong positive correlation between engineering identity and sense of belonging within anengineering major [1]. Students more often see themselves as an engineer when they feel theybelong. In many cases, there is also an underlying assumption that undergraduate students desirea high sense of academic belonging. A lack of sense of belonging can feed into the absence of astrong engineering identity for some students

Therefore, in this research project, the researcher engaged inextensive first-hand observation in classroom settings throughout the semester, collectedstudents’ written responses reflecting their class, and conducted open-ended interviews designedto validate our findings with students’ perspectives. Second, investigations of instructors’ pedagogical practices in naturalistic settings, versusin a laboratory or through lab-based experiments, can yield different findings (Le Compte &Goetz, 1982).

A thorough analysis of socialmedia data can offer valuable insights on EE. By examining social media interactions (i.e.,contents of user-generated posts), educators and researchers can identify emerging topics thatare gaining traction in the engineering community. Such analysis may provide valuableinsights into student engagement, revealing what subjects or topics resonate most. It alsooffers a platform for students to express concerns related to EE, which can be instrumental inshaping curricular and pedagogical

While some researchers argue that social media can enhance studentengagement and learning, others suggest that its use may negatively impact learningoutcomes[10]. Studies have investigated the impact of social media on engineering educationand have found mixed results. A study conducted by [11] showed that social media platformssuch as Twitter and Facebook improve student engagement, as students were more likely toparticipate in class discussions and share course-related information on these platforms.However, another study by [12] found that the use of social media had no significant impact onstudent

Student Perceptions and Attitudes Towards Engineering Design in Work-Integrated Learning Contexts1 IntroductionTo continue enhancing student learning, many institutions are implementing work-integratedlearning programs (WIL) to aid in the development of work-ready graduates [1]. WIL integratesacademic studies with experiences within a workplace or practice setting [2]. These experiencescan take many forms including collaborative research projects, apprenticeships, co-operativeeducation, entrepreneurship, field placements, internships, professional placements, servicelearning, or work experiences. WIL programs are very common in undergraduate engineeringprograms and have more recently expanded to graduate programs

achievement in their courses (by URM and whitestudents), and were perceived more positively by the students [13] - [15].Although the two areas—faculty instructional practices and mindset beliefs directly impactstudent outcomes, the interplay between the two factors has yet to be explored. In other words,the question-- how faculty beliefs affect the choice of their instructional practices in theclassroom is yet to be fully explored. There is some evidence to suggest that growth and fixedmindsets impact instructional decisions. For example, a study by Aragón, Eddy, and Graham[16] shows that instructors with fixed mindsets about intelligence were less likely to bepersuaded to use active learning techniques in their classes. In addition, Richardson

Teams of 3-4 [university] graduate students partner with a similar team at an international university to work on industry-funded design challenges to deliver breakthrough innovation prototypes. Design challenges are typically at the Human Interface to Robots, AI, Internet of Things, Autonomous vehicles, and Smart Cities.
