Education, 2021 Faculty Development Aimed at Sustaining and Enhancing Entrepreneurial Minded Learning AbstractMany higher education institutions have begun promoting an entrepreneurial mindset (EM) instudents and integrating entrepreneurship elements in engineering education. Variousapproaches, including curricular, extra-curricular and co-curricular initiatives, are being used totransform the education offered at these institutions. However, in order for this transformation tobe sustained and broadened, efforts must target faculty as well as students. Helping faculty toembrace entrepreneurial minded learning (EML) and equipping them with relevant tools andresources will

abilities and enhance their ability to maximize the utility of existing campusoffices. All of the authors have experienced each of these benefits to a certain extent in the firstfew years of their faculty roles. Systematic research is needed to determine the generalizabilityof these outcomes.Maximizing Student Leadership Utility as Faculty PreparationGraduate students are subject to a great number of time constraints from taking (or teaching)classes and conducting research. Therefore, students and their advisors alike may eschew theaddition of a required student organizational leadership position. We do not suggest arequirement for all students. However, for those aspiring to faculty positions, leadership rolesshould be encouraged and recognized as
