structure must have something called“closure,” which is where multiple actors exert external effects on another [66]. In order fornorms to be effective, they must be enforced by sanctions from multiple others. Closure comesfrom those who interact more frequently and who are closer in age [66]. With closure also comestrustworthiness of a group, and from that a reputation can arise and with it the desire to maintainit [66]. A group focusing on entrepreneurship with no closure is ineffective at enforcing thesenorms against negative external influences against it.Potential SolutionIt has been suggested that instead of a shotgun approach to entrepreneurial educational foranyone willing to sign up for a class, the university should focus on providing

. Specifically, if the ESEMA outcomes are aligned withpromoting the development of future entrepreneurs, are we taking the right actions to developthis mindset?IntroductionFor decades leaders in academia, industry, and government have recognized the need forengineering education to develop engineers who are more than simply technical experts [e.g. 1,2, 3]. The responses of the engineering education community to meet those needs are widespreadand varied in their approaches. Results have also been varied [4, 5]. In recent years, a notableworkstream has grown around development of engineering entrepreneurship.

However, Jorgensen et al asserted thatphysical prototypes are the desirable endpoint of this type of collaboration, and it is “impossible”for students to embrace a design problem, generate concepts, and carry one to a prototype stagein the time frame of a single semester class.While collaborative university/industry engineering product development has been successfullydemonstrated on short timescales in extracurricular engineering club projects [6], we found noexamples in the engineering education literature where one-semester-long class-based designprojects produced prototypes for industry partners without raising work quality concerns.

, it is not surprising that educatorsneed to consider that each of these contexts will have a different effect on and importance tostudents. These differences in effects result from students own emotions (Shephard, 2004) andthe level of self-identity that the students place on the failure. As an example, it’s not surprisingthat students’ self-identity in a 30-minute entrepreneurially oriented in-class activity will be quitedifferent than students’ self-identity in a business that they start through a universityentrepreneurship center. Huerta (2018) begins to show how students self-identify with variousentrepreneurial activities by profiling several students and their journey through curricular andco-curricular university entrepreneurship
