hand, entrepreneurship education is defined byTorrance and Rauch as “the teaching of skills and cultivation of talents that students need to startbusinesses, identify opportunities, manage risk, and innovate in the course of their careers” [9].Therefore, it is prudent to incline students toward adopting entrepreneurship as a tool forinnovation and value creation, enabling them to discover, evaluate, and exploit businessopportunities essential to economic growth [10].Thus, this study is designed to challenge students to employ their intellectual gifts and combinethese two rival concepts (sustainability and entrepreneurship), connecting them with STEM andart.

The National Academy ofEngineering highlights the importance of entrepreneurial skills for the 21st-century engineeringprofession. Recognizing this, there's a growing shift towards embedding entrepreneurialelements within engineering curricula to meet evolving industry demands. Despite efforts toinfuse entrepreneurship into engineering education, its integration in

This recent work is focused on helping universities develop curriculathat incorporate professional skill development within technical courses and seems particularlyuseful for engineering educators. Another option might be using the Miville-GuzmanUniversality-Diversity Scale—Short form (MGUDS-S) to determine their openness to andappreciation of cultural diversity [14].Students should be taught creativity theories and methodologies in engineering design courses toincrease creativity in

leverages economic and market systems to make the solutionscalable (KEEN source). The main aspects of innovative academic research align well with thegoals and outputs of EML, namely the ability to clearly evaluate a need, study or innovate asolution to this need, and describe how the benefits of this solution might best be realizedthrough policy, practice, or future research. Creating value is closely associated with the goals ofmost engineering research. Thus, engaging engineering students in meaningful undergraduateresearch experiences offers a way to promote students’ EML. Additionally, undergraduateresearch has been shown to create beneficial shifts in student attitudes towards scientificresearch, resulting in increased retention in STEM

technologies are increasingly automating simple, common,repetitive tasks liberating engineers to perform complex, unusual, novel tasks and giving them thetime to innovate and create products, processes, and systems to improve human lives. In thiscontext, creative thinking emerges as an increasingly more important core competency for theengineering workforce. Currently, although creativity is deemed to be important in engineering [1,2], creative thinking skill development is addressed haphazardly or not at all in engineeringeducation.Evidence suggests that personality traits that are related to creative characteristics and behaviors(e.g., out-of-the-box answers to standard questions) are not favored in classroom settings that aredesigned for
