AB  - Entrepreneurial Mindset (EM) has become a widespread classroom practice in many universities in recent years. Our research project is focused on how EM may be infused into undergraduate research experiences for engineering students. For several years, we have offered a workshop to help faculty develop methods to build EM into research practice. This includes research in traditional lab groups and also building course-based undergraduate research experiences (CURE) into the curriculum. After the workshop, participants join a year-long coaching process with a faculty mentor to develop and execute their projects with students.

In this paper, we report on the key elements of the workshop design and insights from past participants across multiple years. We surveyed all past participants of the workshops, and respondents indicated that they had received several benefits from the workshop experience including better planning and organization of research experiences for undergraduates. Faculty reported significant benefits to the students such as more attending graduate school but also to their own research practices including building a capacity for more readily identifying the value of their work. 

We hope that future faculty interested in EM and undergraduate research will see the possibilities of bringing the two together in their work. We believe infusing an EM with undergraduate research in a variety of contexts will help our students continue to tackle the complex problems facing society.
