• The need to respond to rapid changes in technology based businesses • The lack of team based performance metrics in college • The lack of technology and business school educational partnershipsStudents in engineering and science programs are typically not introduced to entrepreneurialapproaches to commercialization of advanced research within their graduate curricula. Of thecourses that do exist, they are either taught within the science/technology department or they aretaught as a service course by the appropriate business department on that campus. These coursesare monolithic in their class composition, being normally populated only by students within thescience/technology department or college.In a similar fashion, the

Thehope is that, as the research-based model is further refined, students will grow in their ability toindependently learn, analyze and contribute scientifically to the robotics community.References[1] D.

) AbstractFor decades, informal education research has provided evidence of the importance of parents’involvement in pre-college students’ STEM learning. Previous research has put efforts intounderstanding the roles parents play to better engage children in engineering in out-of-schoolsettings [1][2][3][4]. On the other hand, the shift to online learning during the pandemic and lackof access to external educational resources have highlighted the importance out-of-schoollearning, including the very important role parents play in providing elite education for children[5](also look for the special issue at Journal of Pre-college Engineering Education Research [6]However, when it comes to engineering education, parents, with no engineering background
