responses to these failures. Participants have been selected from those that havereceived funding through the national VentureWell E-Team program. This program awardsthree levels of funding and provides mentorship, training, and networking for the teams. Thestudy uses the framework developed by Henry, Shorter, Charkoudian, Heemstra, and Corwin(2019) in which they associate pre-failure dispositions related to fixed and growth mindset(Dweck, 2000, 2006) and mastery vs. performance disposition (Pintrich, 2000 a, b). Our workwill utilize this framework to guide the research, but more importantly will provide a uniquecontext for analysis, specifically within engineering entrepreneurship, which will add to the bodyof work and expand the understanding of

Canvas platform. The course intervention modules arecurrently implemented in a section of Calculus I. Based on the mid-term process, more than halfof the students (56%) felt they were properly prepared for the course and (20%) felt that they couldearn an A or B. More students also felt confident that they could conduct an engineering designproject (36%). Many of the students (68%) indicated they liked traditional assignments likelectures, quizzes, and homework embedded in the course. Only a small number of students (8%)indicated the intervention was helpful towards learning calculus. This indicates that many studentsprefer the traditional way of learning calculus and feel confident that they are prepared to engagein these activities.Benefits of

students are participating and completing theassignments, they do well in the course. For the Fall 2020 semester, 26 students were enrolled inthe course; of those 26 students, one student received a B for their overall course grade, onestudent received a B+, and one student requested and received a grade deferral (they were unableto complete the course requirements for personal reasons). The remaining 23 grades were A’s(92% of the course enrollment).The course instructors are hesitant to conclude that the high grades for the fall 2020 semester aredue solely to the new flexible course format. Students have indicated that the high grades mayalso be contributed, at least in part, to boredom. Many activities have been cancelled due to thepandemic, and

impact their future educational and career plans substantially [19, 20]. Thus, educatorsmust increase the frequency of opportunities and depth of experiences for elementary agestudents to develop their engineering identities.MethodsThe research questions for this study were the following: 1) What are the impacts of teaching the engineering design process online via zoom conference on development of children’s ability to use engineering discourse? a. Are students able to master the steps of the engineering design process? b. How do students learn to receive and implement feedback from their peers and the teacher over zoom? How is teamwork affected as compared to in-person experiences? 2) If and
