These results haveimplications for ongoing discussions within the field of academic entrepreneurship as well asSTEM education relating to the most appropriate metrics for the goals of broadeningparticipation. Although achieving similar proportions of women and minoritized racial/ethnicgroups in these programs as overall nationwide or regional demographics is a starting point forthe definition of "equity", these results could imply that academic entrepreneurship educationprograms such as I-Corps do not represent substantial barriers to the participation of

While traditional entrepreneurshipeducation has focused on self-employment and venture creation, recent advancements haveshifted the emphasis toward developing entrepreneurially-minded graduates. In particular, EEPsin engineering have evolved to focus on cultivating entrepreneurial skills and mindsets,expanding beyond sole enterprise formation [2]. These EEPs are posited as a means to fosterinnovativeness in students' chosen fields of employment upon graduation [3]. Moreover,engineering EEPs have advanced from business-oriented programs to more immersive, real-world-oriented approaches that aim to help students acquire entrepreneurship-related traits,skills, and mindsets [2].

Telling personalstories allows students to explore their reasons, ideas, hopes, fears, and feelings related to theiridentities as engineers and scientists. Students can connect their past selves with their current andimagined future selves to be able to understand their roles and paths forward in their careers [3].Storytelling can be leveraged this way because stories tend to exhibit similar general themes thatinclude redemption, contamination, or agency which can impact the storyteller’s mental health.Redemption stories exhibit a negative to positive

Most definitions of 21st-century skills have the technical andprofessional skills mandated by ABET but also include creativity, cultural competency, andentrepreneurial mindset, which ABET does not currently require [3,4].

technologies are increasingly automating simple, common,repetitive tasks liberating engineers to perform complex, unusual, novel tasks and giving them thetime to innovate and create products, processes, and systems to improve human lives. In thiscontext, creative thinking emerges as an increasingly more important core competency for theengineering workforce. Currently, although creativity is deemed to be important in engineering [1,2], creative thinking skill development is addressed haphazardly or not at all in engineeringeducation.Evidence suggests that personality traits that are related to creative characteristics and behaviors(e.g., out-of-the-box answers to standard questions) are not favored in classroom settings that aredesigned for

However, there is a recent decline in the number ofengineering technology programs. This has resulted in a situation whereby most manufacturingcourses are taught using the same methods as other engineering courses (lecture heavy) and lackthe real-world learning experience necessary for students to understand and immerse themselvesin the content.1.1.
