understand theeffect of assessing real end-user needs on the development of the engineering PhD researchproposal through a case study. The hypothesis is that an understanding of the end users’ needs inthe early stages of research formulation will enable PhD students to devise research proposals thatare more focused on creating value by addressing the problems that are important and relevant tothe end-users, and will improve the ability of the PhD students to communicate their plans andresults to non-expert end-users. In this case study the PhD student prepared an initial researchproposal before conducting any end-user studies, and then conducted an end-user study throughface-to-face interviews, under the guidance of an interdisciplinary committee

STEM camps have many positive attributes including but not limited to: thepromotion of STEM majors; allow for significant learning; simulate, in a hands-on manner, what careerscould look like; create new friendships and social skills; and can be made affordable with grants,scholarships, and financial assistance [14-15].

These are based on the identity perspective(Gruber & MacMillan, 2017), which assesses entrepreneurial behavior in a way that is differentfrom “views embedded in economic rationality” (Gilati, p. 1480). The identity perspectiveclaims two things: 1) that individuals behave in ways that they consider appropriate forthemselves in a specific context, and 2) that human beings have a fundamental need for self-definition and for finding their own place in society (Gilati).
