AB  - The NSF S-STEM-funded program titled Fostering Leaders in Technology Entrepreneurship (FLiTE) hosted by Western Carolina University has now completed it’s second year of operation. The program aims to create graduates who bring impactful contributions to industry employers or who create new businesses with their own original technology innovations. FLiTE has continued its mission to cultivate entrepreneurial and growth-oriented thinking among financially needed engineering and technology students. Program activities for the 2023 calendar year included induction of a new recruiting class, connection with campus resources and veteran entrepreneurs, and scholar participation in a formal pitch creation course. Pre- and post-year surveys were completed by the scholars to characterize personal perceptions of their initial and developing aptitudes toward the entrepreneurial mindset. This paper describes the cohort teaming sessions, invited speakers, informal and formal pitch presentations, and survey results from the spring and fall semesters of 2023. Summary results show an improvement in scholar perceptions of their entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial thinking. Findings from these activities may inform the curriculum at the host university and the content of similar entrepreneurship programs.
