Generation of relatedsubtopics in identified categories stands as a second form of value. Especially with AI resultsfrom the first prompt, one finds subcategories and examples of entrepreneurial ideas in themechanical engineering curriculum that require substantial time to manually extract frompublications and to organize into a coherent structure.

By having the students participate in the self-assessment processand reflect on their experiences, each student is able to identify outcomes which have not beenachieved and develop a plan to achieve all ABET outcomes prior to graduation. This proactiveself-assessment prompts students to identify weak points in their education and has the potentialto shape better student outcomes, filling all the ABET student outcomes and preparing studentsto be well-rounded engineers.[12].

Both engineers and engineering interns are hired by start-ups to help bring innovative solutions to market. However, even though entrepreneurship hasbecome a topic of interest in academia in general, it is not always a focus in engineeringprograms. Thus, in order to make sure that undergraduate engineering students that want to workin the Ag Tech start-up industry are prepared, it is important to understand both if industryprofessionals believe engineering undergraduates are prepared to work in that area, and whatacademia can do to improve undergraduate engineering student preparedness.Literature

recognized as important in engineering fields,particularly manufacturing [20]. One such way to achieve this is through active learning to givethe students authority over what they are learning. The definition of active learning and how itvaries from conventional engineering education are still topics of confusion for many facultymembers. Engineering professors often struggle to distinguish between the many types of activelearning, and most of them are not inclined to search educational literature for clarification,which furthers the confusion [21]. Active learning is a general term used to define any type ofpedagogical instruction that provides students with an active role in the learning process which isthe core element of these methods.
