. Conducted five interviews with industry stakeholders in order to get a deeper sense of the terms and needs 3. Analyzed that data in order to arrive at a more defined list of needs, and then used that list of needs to develop a call for course proposals that would become official courses in this programFrom this data gathering and analysis with industry stakeholders, the following competenciesand skills emerged. Students need to know: A. How to develop the business idea process in a way that meets the needs of a specific marketplace B. How to develop a business plan that addresses startup, implementation, and sustaining the business C. How to navigate the ‘valley of death’ where most businesses fail D. How to

the nuanced ways in which failure journaling influences engineering students’ perceptions and the development of a fail-forward mindset. B. An inductive approach was chosen for this study to allow themes to emerge from the data without preconceived categories, thus providing a grounded understanding of the participants' experiences and perceptions. This approach is justified by its alignment with the exploratory nature of the study, aiming to uncover how failure journaling influences student attitudes and mindsets. C. To ensure a thorough and systematic analysis of the qualitative data, the following steps were followed: i. Failure Journals were analyzed first to identify initial themes
disciplines at a private Chilean university. A validated questionnaire wasadministered, incorporating a series of entrepreneurial competencies outlined by the EuropeanUnion within three areas: (a) ideas and opportunities, (b) resources, and (c) taking action.Additionally, this questionnaire includes a section addressing various aspects of entrepreneurialprojects: self-efficacy, intention, career choice, and motivation. Statistical methods wereemployed to analyze the questionnaire responses. The results allow us to highlight strongstatistically significant correlations between areas associated with entrepreneurial competenciesand the dimension of entrepreneurial intention related to the effective creation of anentrepreneurial project.
