In addition, one student is from Aerospaceengineering and 20 students are from Mechanical Engineering.In this course, students are taught the fundamentals of linear elasticity (covered in this project), energymethods, theories of failure prediction, introduction to Numerical method, and introduction to optimization.This course prepares Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering students for their subsequent courses, e.g.machine design, senior design. 53.3 Data Collection Instrument(s)As part of the project, students were asked to write two summaries (for each summary, 10 journal articlesobtained via

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

Fellowship, in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Arkansas. She received her B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from Harding University, where she was first introduced to engineering education research examining students’ perceived identities in a first-year engineering course. While her current dissertation work is focused on developing organ-on-chip technology to study the human airways, Amanda also has a strong interest in teaching and education research. She has devoted a semester to teaching as an adjunct instructor for Fundamentals of Chemistry at John Brown University, completed a micro-certificate in the professoriate, and led several educational experiences for

-efficacy andbehaviors of innovators and entrepreneurs, though some scholars have brought them together incomparative studies (e.g., how are entrepreneurs different from or similar to innovators) (e.g.,[43], [44]). Even recent education-related writing is based on a difference-model [45] argue forgreater demarcation between entrepreneurship and innovation. Their perspective is framedaround formal education related to learning to be entrepreneurial or innovative, arguing thatuniversities and colleges are “missing the boat” if they only focus on or prioritize entrepreneurialeducation (which according to these authors depends on strong innovative ideas, so thereforeshould follow more intense education on developing strong technical and innovation

these qualities are compatible with a growingdemand for engineers who contribute in fundamental ways to conceiving of and developingnew products, processes and/or services. These efforts might be realized through new venturecreation or within established organizations.The growing intersection of innovation and entrepreneurship within engineering practices hasmirrored a parallel emphasis in engineering education. There is a growing number of nationalinitiatives that aim to weave essential concepts on entrepreneurship and innovation into thefabric of engineering education. For example: VentureWell (founded 25 years ago as theNational Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance, NCIIA, [2], KEEN (the KernEntrepreneurial Engineering Network

practicing engineers. Thus, developing and integrating a curriculumthat instills and fosters curiosity in engineering students is essential. To assess studentdevelopment of curiosity, a direct and an indirect assessment for curiosity were integrated intothe curriculum for a first-year engineering honors program at a large midwestern university. TheFive-Dimensional Curiosity Scale (5DC), a 25-item instrument developed by Kashdan andcolleagues, was implemented as the indirect assessment. The direct assessment for curiosity wasdeveloped by the research team and tasks students to brainstorm about a topic and then write 10distinct questions about that topic. Both assessments were administered at two time points in theacademic year. A subset of data of 54

this experience of writing poems, “wasa lot of fun.”Bob recalled that “the kind of assignments given” in programming courses he took during hisundergraduate and graduate program required him to be creative. Such assignments asked you toutilize “some different thought processes or different ways to get you a solution.” Like Bob,Victor also noted that several programming courses throughout his graduate education, where hewas asked to demonstrate and practice his creative thinking skills. However, he recalled anothercourse from his undergraduate education in a different country, where the first year of theengineering curriculum is the same for all majors. In this curriculum, there was an electrical andelectronics course during the lab in which
