Board 123: Work in Progress: A Case Study of a Community of Practice Model Fostering Faculty Scholarship of Teaching and Learning of the Entrepreneurial Mindset

This work-in-progress paper provides insights from facilitators and participants of a Community of Practice (CoP) focused on the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) in engineering, addressing the challenge of supporting faculty in integrating an entrepreneurial mindset (EM) in engineering pedagogy. Individual interviews of four faculty were conducted. We found that faculty experienced both barriers and benefits during their participation in the CoP. The evolving expectations and responsibilities faced by faculty members in the realm of engineering education continue to be a challenge. Institutional and structural supports are needed to address these barriers to SoTL. This paper will be presented as a poster to foster dialogue around findings and implications.
