student described: I think the best is figuring out how to trouble shoot the may problems we encountered. For example, not just with the program, how to make a dribbler on a (soccer) robot, where you have to make many designs to make it work. Also being patient with the program because it takes a lot of trail and error to even get simplest things to work. Another student explained his learning in detail: I gained many things from RoboCupJunior. Some of the most valued aspects are a better ability to problem solve and the ability to seriously check your work for errors - debugging. These skills can be applied in nearly all aspects of life you continue in the profession of

Many of the ideas mentioned in this section are ideas that students learned about in theirintroductory design courses. Another student also mentioned how the idea of empathy can also connect tothe Jesuit tradition of educating the whole person. Specifically, they talked about the practice of“examenitos,” or short contemplative reflections about their day, that allowed them to “practicemindfulness, gratitude, and reimagine our own experiences and conditions… all of which create a moreholistic brand of engineering (Mystical Mango).” Humanity.

Thus, we only haveanecdotal evidence about the causes for student learning or the impact of conflict in particular ontheir learning.Comparing our course with previous instances of it is difficult because we taught it in a verydifferent way.

Considering theemergent state of engineering entrepreneurship education, the assessment of entrepreneurshipprograms is important and necessary to identify best practices for teaching entrepreneurship toengineering students.Although investigation of the impacts of engineering entrepreneurship is a relatively new field ofstudy, investigation of a range of student outcomes has already begun to emerge.
