recommend having somebody with teaching and mentoring experience (e.g., graduate student, faculty member, or professional mentor) on site during the construction to ensure that students fully utilize all potential learning opportunities.Future OutlookBased upon the experience of working with the CU Boulder students on the Mathangenifootbridge, the need for a more structured educational experience was realized. Since completingthe project in 2019, EIA has developed short online asynchronous courses that more formallyteach students the design and construction process, rather than relying on an upper-class studentto pass along the knowledge. These courses formally teach the technical skills required tosuccessfully complete a

An example is theKEEN organization [11] that emphasizes entrepreneurship to prepare engineers for a neoliberalcapitalist society where the founding belief is that we will continue to technically innovate ourway out of dilemmas. These perspectives assume the purpose of education is to prepare astudent to contribute to society through their career and societal and justice issues are bestaddressed by creating a technological “rising tide that lifts all boats”. While less common inengineering education, other belief systems emphasize the role of education in addressingsocietal issues and promoting social justice [12], and emphasizing individual moral

]. Some courses used the framework of entrepreneurship to create open-ended projects thatencourage students to consider the end user in their design processes [25], [26]. Studentsgenerally report positive experiences with project-based learning approaches.Managing and teaching introduction to engineering courses poses challenges that can include theacquisition of supplies and equipment required for design projects, the need to provide additionaltraining to faculty, and a high turnover rate of faculty teaching these courses [31], [21]. There isa need for introductory course models that meet disciplinary needs but that do not requiresignificant equipment and/or supplies and that can be readily adopted by new instructors.As early as 1998, Nair [32

In recent years, several universities,including ours, have developed entrepreneurship centers to provide students with a hands-onexperience and expand their commercialization training by offering non-degree enrichmentprograms that train students in the fundamentals to bring a new technology to market. There havebeen fewer efforts, however, to provide a degree offering program that trains these technology-savvy physicians, scientists, and engineers in the comprehensive process to bring a medicaltechnology to market.

Little formal work has been found on this subject for either the hostinstitution student population or at the state level.

STEM education must provide emerging scientists and engineers with innovative talentsto energize the economic engines of the future.A critical juncture in the undergraduate STEM education pathway is that majority of attritionoccurs because students experience many academic challenges in gatekeeping courses [2]. Animportant factor to this failure is attributed to the lack of engaging pedagogy. The ingredients forsuccess in STEM disciplines are the
