engineering challenges that require both technicalproficiency and collaborative expertise. 1.2 The Necessity for Entrepreneurial Integration in ET CurriculaTo address this, a shift in the educational paradigm is necessary, moving beyond traditionalproblem-solving to nurturing value creators skilled at navigating modern societal complexities.In accordance with ABET's criteria, ET students require a balanced mix of technical acumenand interpersonal abilities (Fosmire 2020). Although practical, hands-on learning is a focalpoint, the curriculum often lacks practical activities that prepare graduates to identify real-world challenges and transform technical designs into viable solutions (Bendanillo et al. 2023).Today's industry seeks graduates who

In summary, following lessons learned are addressed.(1) Grade 4 or year 10 is already good timing to start engineering education through the lens of the robot practice since it would fascinate children’s interest.(2) Robotics should be taught through interdisciplinary approach especially during young age by addressing the importance of teamwork and multiple knowledge. It is important for teachers to deliver the message that one robot could be only through collaboration of multiple experts.(3) It is

mandate the use of interdisciplinary methods andstrategies, and training in those strategies for students. In the area of entrepreneurship, a meta-analysis of 10-year trends in entrepreneurship education has shown that interdisciplinarity hasnow become a required skill set given that so much of the work of startingone’s own businesstakes interdisciplinary knowledge and collaboration (Yi et al., 2021). Winkler et al. (2021) echothis conclusion when they assert that both entrepreneurship education and experiential educationmust support the teaching of interdisciplinary skills. Stenard (2023) writes that entrepreneurshipeducation, especially when it is combined with a focus on engineering or any of the STEMfields, must support interdisciplinary work
construct.While CAT is a subjective assessment method, it incorporates mechanisms that ensure reliabilityand minimize bias, making it both valid and robust. The use of multiple independent evaluators isa key feature of CAT; experts evaluate artifacts without external influence or collaboration. Theirjudgments are aggregated to produce a consensus-based evaluation, reducing the impact ofindividual biases. Additionally, studies using CAT frequently measure inter-rater reliability,which validates the consistency of expert judgments and reinforces the credibility of theassessments [10].In engineering education, CAT has been applied to assess the novelty and functionality ofprototypes in settings such as capstone projects and design challenges [11] [12
