Moreover, project-based learning (PBL) has been gaining more traction in engineeringprograms to facilitate student learning experience and professional development. Although designcourses including capstone design have PBL with components of EML, entrepreneurial mindsetbased PBL is quite uncommon in many engineering courses that are not design courses [3].Traditional engineering course projects involve a relatively close-ended problem whereinstructions and information about the project specifications are provided.

CoursesProject OverviewFoundational courses taken during the first two years are critical to student success inengineering programs. It is no surprise that such courses can serve as barriers or gatekeepers tostudent progress through the undergraduate curriculum. Although the difficulty of the coursesmay be an intrinsic part of the content, often other features of the course delivery—such as largeclass environments or a few very high-stakes assessments—can further exacerbate thesechallenges. And especially problematic, past studies have shown that grade penalties associatedwith these courses and environments may disproportionately impact women (e.g., Matz et al.,2017). Institutions often turn to non-tenure track instructional faculty to teach multiple
