This paper outlines the program plan anddetails of activities and success metrics for the applied interventions in spring and fall 2023.2. Program ObjectivesMotivated by the financial needs of WCU’s student population along with the commercialclimate and employment needs of the surrounding region, the program takes advantage of thehost department’s strengths in project-based learning (PBL) and engagement with local industryto help foster those dimensions of the entrepreneurial mindset which are skills-based, and thusmore malleable than qualities that

The corequisite course has been approved by the university curriculumcommittee and is a regular offering at the institution.The initial offering of the corequisite course occurred during the COVID pandemic necessitatingthe use of additional instructional technology. There was also an increase in low stakesassessments to encourage students to engage in the material. The added credits also increased theregularity of student interacting with calculus.
