and Three are accomplished through introduction ofstudents to the basic foundational concepts and skills in the four-degree programs and byinvestigating course plans for the various majors and traditional careers within the disciplines.The gateway course learning outcomes are presented below: 1. Develop an academic pathway for success in the student's selected major. 2. Select appropriate strategies and technologies to solve technical problems. 3. Apply foundational principles and tools of electrical, industrial, manufacturing, and mechanical engineering technology to address technical problems. 4. Apply computational tools to address technical problems. 5. Work in a team to solve an engineering technology problem. 6

University-Kingsville to enhance their early curricularstudent experience by customizing entry level courses to combine the most relevant studentsuccess material from the generic UNIV 1201 course with introductory technical contentappropriate for their majors.The implementation of the GEEN 1201 course in the college of engineering at Texas A&MUniversity-Kingsville has occurred incrementally. It began on an experimental basis and wasoriginally limited to three departments (EECS, MIEN, and CHNG). This resulted in eachdepartment creating its own version of the GEEN 1201 course with content appropriate for theirmajors, rather than the creation of a single college-wide introductory engineering course.However, important common elements in each of the

While traditional entrepreneurshipeducation has focused on self-employment and venture creation, recent advancements haveshifted the emphasis toward developing entrepreneurially-minded graduates. In particular, EEPsin engineering have evolved to focus on cultivating entrepreneurial skills and mindsets,expanding beyond sole enterprise formation [2]. These EEPs are posited as a means to fosterinnovativeness in students' chosen fields of employment upon graduation [3]. Moreover,engineering EEPs have advanced from business-oriented programs to more immersive, real-world-oriented approaches that aim to help students acquire entrepreneurship-related traits,skills, and mindsets [2].

The GCSP Connect program was held virtually with liveZoom sessions and all materials housed in Canvas LMS as was done for the virtual SummerInstitute, but the program structure and content differed. GCSP Connect took place over 6 days,with approximately 3-4 sessions each day lasting a total of 3-4 hours. Sessions in Connectincluded a faculty presentation (including Q & A) for each theme, a faculty panel, a studentpanel, sessions focused on Counselors sharing their experiences, an introduction to GCSP andtwo interactive activities aimed at helping students to explore opportunities available throughGCSP.

The primary goal ofthis article is to provide a case study for the ASEE community and engineering educators byanalyzing two key UDL strategies: 1) encouraging student participation with in-class UDL toolsand 2) fostering knowledge internalization via out-of-classroom UDL tools. To evaluate theeffectiveness of these strategies, we developed our student interaction metrics based on traffic andinteraction data we collected from these tools. Our findings indicate that the distribution ofconcise, UDL-based evaluation of course activities positively impacts students’ performance,with

creation. The government of Canada recognizes the importance ofentrepreneurship in the development of its economy, with small and medium-sized enterprises(SMEs) accounting for 98% of businesses and employing 8 out of 10 private-sector workers [2].New products are often first brought out by entrepreneurs. These products could also includevarious services, technologies and specific advancements in a sector or industry [3]. Researchhas shown a positive association between entrepreneurial activities and levels of innovation [4].A challenge is finding methods that could lead to fostering fast and scalable entrepreneurship andfoster the culture of risk taking, experimentation and competitiveness amongst businesses. © American
who improved their math placement, 2 of which had a pre-placement of IntermediateAlgebra. Of the student participants who had a post-program math placement of CollegeAlgebra, 88% improved from Intermediate Algebra. It should be noted that 3 student participantswho had a pre-program math placement of Calculus 1, due to ACT scores, were allowed toparticipate in the program if they still felt unprepared. These students are presented in Table 2.However, since they did not technically require remediation, their math progress and mathimprovement are beyond the scope of this work. For the 25 student participants needingremediation, we see that only 68% tested at least one math course higher. Table 2: Pre- and post-program improvements by

). Fossen and Sorgner (2021) argue that high school programs are more likely than othertypes of programs to focus on technical and digital literacies as being integral to entrepreneurshipeducation. They write: “we provide evidence that digitalization is significantly associated withentrepreneurial entry at the individual level. The results suggest that high-skilled employees andemployees in ICT occupations facing destructive digitalization have an increased likelihood ofbecoming entrepreneurs” (p. 548). They argue that the best entrepreneurship programs set highschool students up to be highly technically literate, because that appears to be an ‘entry levelskill’ for many entrepreneurship pathways. Thus, the best high school programs integrate
