Specifically,the qualitative questions posed to students included: “How do you perceive the importance ofintegrating entrepreneurial skills into ET education?” and “In what ways do you think thisintegration could impact your future career?” This method of data collection was designed tocapture a wide range of student experiences and perspectives, laying the groundwork for a richqualitative analysis. 3.5 Data AnalysisTo interpret the collected data, a two-phase thematic analysis was used, chosen for its flexibilityand effectiveness in identifying, analyzing, and reporting patterns (themes) within

In this application, a 20-minute video was not considered unreasonably long. The students had definite suggestions forimprovement, such as that the videos needed to be professionally produced and thoroughly testedon the proper equipment before being released to the students. Videos should be kept short andaccompanied by some sort of pre-class learning activities, which also should not take too muchtime.

Largely, however, CUREs have been applied within the natural sciences andthere is a lack of knowledge on the impact of CUREs on student learning in general and EML inparticular.The evaluation of EML in engineering education is well studied [19].

Groups likeKEEN have been supporting and encouraging EML in engineering education, with thepublication of the “The KEEN Framework” that includes examples of student outcomesassociated with entrepreneurial mindset [6]. Most often, these EML outcomes are incorporatedinto first year and capstone courses that emphasize the engineering design process. Courses, suchas statics, dynamics, and thermodynamics, make less frequent use of EML, possibly becauseinstructors feel like they do not have enough class time to include these elements.
