Students with ASD may have sensory issues, communicationdeficits, and executive functioning challenges such as assignment organization and timemanagement [1]. At Arizona State University we have developed a program for
both Galveston and College Station campuses.

institutions may choose to modify and implement to improveundergraduate research experiences and outcomes.Introduction:Entrepreneurship has been an inseparable part of business programs’ curriculum, but itsembedding in engineering colleges or in interdisciplinary programs is fairly new. Considering real-life needs, the development of a professional skill set comprising proficiency in communication,business, creativity, leadership, and other attributes, is nearly or equally as important as theacquisition of technical skills by engineering students. By embedding entrepreneurship inengineering programs, students create personal, economic, and societal value. There is an overlapand logical fit between the outcomes of STEM programs and the skills

Despite high engagement in theseopportunities, both students and employers have expressed a need for support that assistsstudents in reflecting on their development (e.g., engineering identity, professionalcompetencies, and career aspirations) through their experiences and then communicating thesignificance of those experiences to employers and others [18].Problem StatementThis initiative is creating a longitudinal research study of students as they move through theengineering curriculum, engage in various experiential learning opportunities, and developprofessional competencies and engineering identity.
