, where traditional teachingmethods and curricula are revaluated and updated. Faculty members play a crucial role in thistransition, as they need to embrace new teaching approaches and often step outside theircomfort zones. Despite these challenges, the push towards entrepreneurial education inengineering is gaining momentum. It is being driven by the recognition that the engineers oftomorrow need to be adaptable, innovative, and ready to face the challenges of a rapidlychanging world. This evolution in engineering education is not just a response to marketdemands, it is a necessary step in preparing students to be leaders and innovators in a worldwhere engineering and entrepreneurship are increasingly intertwined.In conclusion, the integration

Four essential learning areas for ENI-SE emerged: Mastery by Doing,Real-world Connectivity, Interdisciplinary Exposure, and Supportive Learning Environment.We discuss how these areas were realized in ME310 and provide examples from otherengineering courses. Furthermore, we hypothesize how features of these four areas might beadapted or adopted more broadly in the engineering curriculum. These findings not onlyhighlight the overlap between entrepreneurship and innovation in engineering education butalso offer a blueprint for integrating these key pedagogical practices into existing curriculardesigns, equipping students to become creators, drivers, and forerunners of novel ideas andchange.Keywords: Embracing New Ideas, Self-Efficacy

presented in this paper seeks to improve engineering education through aprocess of integrating small modules of engaging, active learning pedagogy using real-worldcontext. Modules were developed by infusing said context with EM elements such asstakeholders and the 3 C’s. Development of more Mini-Adventures in EML modules continuesthrough periodic reconvening of the instructor group for modifications and new content creation.Further testing of implementation and ideas will continue as well. The efficacy of the Mini-EMLAdventures will be assessed in the classroom using a mixed methods approach. First, students’perceptions of the activities will be collected via anonymous surveys and the analyzed responses.Second, student performance will be evaluated

Participants were asked about the integration ofEM into the curriculum at their institutions, the approaches they use to teach EM in coursework,and the methods they use to assess students’ learning of EM. The interviews also inquired intoparticipants’ experiences with the assessment tools currently available through the EngineeringUnleashed network and what additional assessment needs they feel remain unmet.

Development of affective capacities traditionally receivedless attention despite indications of their importance. Stolk and Harari, for instance, identified aneed for further investigation of connections between engineering college students’ motivationand cognitive development [1]. Introduction of entrepreneurship in engineering design offersone approach that may enhance these traits. Prior research conducted in an introductoryengineering course suggests that interaction with a “real” customer, other than the courseinstructor, enhances students’ perceived capacity to perform design tasks such as

of logic toarrive at one correct solution [3]. Several studies have shown that the thinking approach used toanalyze traditional problems in the engineering classroom does not provide students with therequired skills to solve real-world problems [4]. In contrast, authentic, open-ended projectsrequire divergent thinking which includes independent thinking, creativity, and innovation, all ofwhich are rarely encouraged or practiced in classes leading to capstone design courses. Althoughcreative problem-solving in engineering requires both convergent and divergent forms ofthinking [3], the current curriculum provides students predominantly with the former over thelatter.Likewise, traditional approaches to engineering education rarely provide

For some students, these environments may make themquestion if they belong in engineering, on our campus, or in higher education at all.Story is a tool that can allow students to make connections between their past, current, andpotential future selves to develop their identities as engineers.
