frustrated if something did not work the first time, and that it was the computer’s fault that the code was wrong. And, as shocking as it may be, the computer is very often not wrong. These failures throughout the semester enlightened me to the fact that coding and engineering are full of failure, and it is important to remember that very rarely things will be perfect from the jump, or ever be perfect, so take everything in stride and keep working hard.” “Toward the end of the project, I learned the significance of having a determined and motivated mindset especially when my group fell behind.

International Experiences on the Development of Students’ Entrepreneurial MindsetAbstractInternational experiences, including collaborative online international learning (COIL)experiences that naturally increase accessibility, are of interest to many undergraduate students.These experiences provide educators a unique opportunity to develop a student's entrepreneurialmindset (EM). Additionally, hands-on experiences aligned with the National Academy ofEngineering’s (NAE) grand challenge themes (Sustainability, Security, Health, and Joy ofLiving) support connections between the experience, disciplinary knowledge, multiculturalawareness, and EM. Through this Work-in-Progress (WiP) study, we seek to answer: 1) How dointernational

On the other hand, entrepreneurship enables students to learn how to spot, evaluate, andexplore opportunities, build a prototype, and test it to design a project that satisfies clients' needsand aesthetic preferences. Unfortunately, educational institutions and researchers lag, particularlywhen integrating an entrepreneurial mindset with green building. Thus, this study emerged toovercome this contemporary interdisciplinary challenge and prepare green entrepreneurs and T-shaped engineers.PURPOSE OR GOAL: This study aims to prepare future green entrepreneurs and T

Inclusionof these concepts and skills support the growth of an entrepreneurial mindset (EM) which is acollection of mental habits that target one’s impact on society and the value they create for it [4].Methods to implement an EM in education emphasize one’s approach to critical thinking,innovation, and value creation as both a learning activity and outcome (i.e., [5], [6]). Theexecution of EM-focused curricula and the subsequent outcomes have resulted in student-centered benefits, namely, the growth of their professional skills [7].
