The second requests associated keywords, and the third requires identification ofmotivations for incorporation of entrepreneurship. All prompts constrain Gemini to use peerreviewed sources. Unedited AI output appears in supplemental material (See Appendix A). Thissection summarizes Gemini 1.5’s primary responses and closes with commentary on thecredibility of the AI output.According to Gemini 1.5, entrepreneurial ideas appear in the mechanical engineering curriculumas project-based design courses, courses on creativity and design thinking, and dedicatedbusiness skills courses tailored to technologists

Their findings indicated that individuals with subclinicalADHD symptomatology exhibited even stronger links to creativity than those with clinicallydiagnosed ADHD. The complexity of these findings was influenced by variables such as howcreativity was measured, how ADHD was determined, and the participants' ages. Issa [3]conducted studies with adults, finding that individuals with ADHD demonstrated preferences fororiginality, nonconformity, generating novel ideas, and seeking novelty. Boot et al.

.” iii. “Another skill I had to put effort into was applying knowledge to solutions. It is very easy to learn the material for an exam and let it leave your brain once the test is over. But the real challenge is taking what you have learned in a lecture and being able to apply it to every application you face. These skills are important in the real world because lack of decision making can lead to detrimental setbacks. In industry “due dates” become hard set deadlines that if not met could lead to more severe consequences.” iv. “Another context specific skill I learned was how to create the same motion using different mechanisms.
