To recruit undergraduateparticipants, solicitation emails were sent out through departmental email lists at both institutionsasking students to participate in a one-hour interview about engineering education. The emailalso disclosed that members would be paid $50 for

that: Engineers are replaceable and disposable commodities, not leaders and decision-makers. Engineers focus on narrow technological problems, and not broader societal needs. Engineers are narrowly educated in scientific and technological disciplines.9In “Engineering for a Changing World,” James Duderstadt, President Emeritus of the Universityof Michigan, reinforces this message, writing that “the engineering profession still tends to beheld in relatively low regard compared to other learned professions such as law and medicine.Unfortunately, many global corporations tend to view engineers as disposable commodities,discarding them when their skills become obsolete or replaceable by cheaper engineeringservices from abroad.”21Both

2013). However, measuring the effects of entrepreneurship education on learning andbehavior, particularly across programs or institutions, requires consensus on learning objectives,instructional strategies, and assessment of impact (e.g. Finardi, 2013; Fayolle & Gailly, 2015;Nabi, Liñán, Fayolle, Krueger, & Walmsley, 2017; Nabi, Walmsley. Liñán, Akhtar & Neame,2018). To date, there are few examples of large-scale programs that allow for comparisons acrosspopulations or pedagogical approaches that would lead us to generalizable conclusions.Therefore, the selective national I-Corps program presents a unique opportunity to explore theimpact of entrepreneurship education at a large scale and to respond to calls for greater researchinto
opportunities to engage inexperiential learning by applying material taught in the classroom to real-world applications andproblem solving. These experiences allow undergraduate students to take an active role in theireducation and help to expand students’ knowledge base outside of the day-to-day classroomproblem sets and exams. Undergraduate research participation and similarly aimed immersivelearning opportunities have been linked with increasing student confidence [1] and interest inSTEM based careers [2-4], as well as self-efficacy [5,6], and ultimately college and programretention rates [4,5,7,8]. Although the benefits of undergraduate research are significant, the real and perceived barriersto entry for first- and second-year students are

Likewise, culturally relevant teachershad the following conceptions of social relations: they maintained fluid student-teacherrelationships; demonstrated a connectedness with all of their students, developed a community oflearners, and encouraged students to learn collaboratively and be responsible for one another.Finally, culturally relevant teachers conceived knowledge as dynamic rather than static, sharedrather

important for student retention at all stages of theiracademic journey, having an engineering identity or seeing oneself as an engineer also greatlyinfluence student retention. In chemical engineering, women tend to show a high sense ofbelonging in the discipline, however, the engineering identity of women compared to men is stilllow [10]. Community-oriented approaches have shown success in contributing to factors that aidin student retention. One study found that meetings with faculty, peer support groups, andleadership opportunities resulted in higher academic performance and enhanced retention ofunderrepresented students in electrical and computer engineering departments [11].
