progress: How a Cornerstone Course Impacts Self-efficacy and EntrepreneurshipIntroductionEngineers have emerged as pivotal players in technological innovation in the past decadeby founding or actively participating in entrepreneurial ventures [1]. Consequently, policyinitiatives have increasingly supported integrating entrepreneurship programs withinengineering education [2]. Economic shifts and an evolving job market for graduates haveheightened the demand for engineers with an entrepreneurial mindset, which is defined asthe cognitive adaptability that preceeds entrepreneurial behaviors for acting onopportunities, learning from failures, and creating economic and social value throughproblem-solving [6]. Such a mindset

may also be influenced by a learned professional outlook ororientation. However, student perceptions of creativity and technical fields may emerge and evensolidify prior to starting college coursework [10]. College-level instructors may thus encounterprior biases when formally teaching design to students for the first time. Before entering secondary education, students are not yet characterized by an associatedfuture profession—they are not yet “engineering” students. Instead, as the acronym STEM(Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) has become a widespread term in education tostrengthen and grow student awareness of these subjects, strong STEM associations mayinfluence students’ thinking about design in unintended ways.

One method of organizing the largeamount of data that will emerge is to develop or adapt tools that use the same scale, such as a 5or 7-point Likert-scale. Given a specific faculty role model and ratings from several sourcesusing a standard scale, evaluators can arrive at a quantifiable number using a weighted averageof the scores provided by student ratings, peer ratings, department head evaluations, and self-assessment [13].These tools should also be available to the faculty, either during professional developmentactivities or in a central location, so they can know the areas
