Given the age of the program, there isno data on success rate of students matriculating through higher education, although over half ofthe graduating seniors to date have chosen an engineering career path by applying to anengineering program at a post-secondary institution. Post-secondary data collection is a part offuture study plans. Key considerations from the first four years of this program include ensuring keypartnerships are established with organizations like the National Society of Black Engineering

Considering the significant financial and time investments involved in the creation ofentrepreneurship programs, institutional funding competitions, and accelerator programs, it isnotable that there are no in-depth, qualitative studies that explore the entrepreneurshipexperiences students have because of these programs. In general, there is very little research onthe personal impacts of these experiences including how they can affect an engineering student’sattitudes, behaviors, career goals, or personal competence (Duval-Coetil, Reed-Rhoads, &Haghighi, 2011).
