curiosity would involve work; processes should be integrated into the ECE curriculato achieve this goal systematically. It should also be noted that it is essential to nurture thecorrect amount of curiosity as too much of it may lead to anxiety and not enough of it wouldresult in boredom [14]. Our university is a member of the KERN Entrepreneurial EngineeringNetwork (KEEN), we would like to include an Entrepreneurial Mindset (EM) in all oureducational endeavors and our STEM outreach activities are no exception. In addition, we wouldlike to apply an iterative approach to our efforts in order to find “best practices” to foster an ECEmindset and also to teach problem-solving early on.STEM outreach activities play a crucial role in shaping high school

practical and palpable ideas to explore [4-5, 9],enabling students to connect more deeply with the natural world, develop critical thinking andproblem-solving skills, and explore the interconnections between science, technology, andengineering. Through this integration, students are encouraged to think outside the box anddevelop original ideas, fostering an entrepreneurial mindset and helping students identify andsolve real-world challenges [13]. Ultimately, by addressing pressing global challenges throughthe lens of nature-inspired design, BID has the potential to cultivate a new generation of thinkersand innovators equipped to create ecologically responsible and forward-thinking solutions [7]. Itis essential to deeply understand students

school. Her research is dedicated to addressing the complex challenges of educating and developing engineers, teachers, and communities at every level—from P–12 to post-graduate studies. Her work spans engineering identity and mindsets, global and entrepreneurial competencies, failure culture, first-year experiences in engineering, capstone design thinking, and the integration of service and authentic learning into the classroom and developing future faculty. In addition, she is committed to implementing innovative instructional methodologies and optimizing design through both traditional and non-traditional manufacturing techniques. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2025 Self
