Unsurprisingly, the literature holds examples of pedagogy meant toencourage potential enterprises based on engineering innovation. Wang and Kleepe describe acapstone course for ME and EE seniors that incorporates legal, financial and venture capitalconsiderations alongside engineering prototyping as part of an effort to develop a new product[3]. Their qualitative and quantitative assessments of the educational intervention found that itmet their learning objectives using a format desired by their students. Moreover, the

. Thiscan be true for both facilitators and student participants. Developing curriculum is anotherchallenge. Schuman and Shannon (2018) noted that many K-12 science and math teachers usehandouts and memorization exercises instead of active learning activities in their lesson plans.Those types of passive activities leave students disengaged and less interested in careers in mathand science. The learning activities used in these outreach programs must be active to capture theattention of the student participants. Lastly, the long-term success of outreach programs isdifficult to document. Tracking student participants over time is challenging. Hendrickson et al.(2020) discovered outreach programs are effective in the short term but don’t translate to
