Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E) learningenvironments in engineering courses and programs, it is valuable to assess the characteristics andcareer goals of engineering students who pursue them.Research QuestionsThe primary research questions for this study are: 1. What are characteristics of engineering students who are pursuing business minors, concentrations, and certificates? 2. Are these students more likely to be involved in entrepreneurship-related and other extra- and co-curricular activities than are other engineering students? 3. Do these students have higher (or lower) innovation self-efficacy than do other engineering students? 4. Is there a difference in career goals between these students and their peers

To test this, a multistep project was introduced into arequired sophomore level course for civil engineers. The impact of the project is assessed usedmixed method analysis using data from surveys and student reflections.2.

This has given students more time to adjust to the many new challenges they face in the first semester of college life before tackling this demanding aspect of the first-year engineering curriculum.
