Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Developing a Direct Assessment for Measuring Students’ Ability to Make ConnectionsAbstractThe integration of entrepreneurial minded learning (EML) into engineering courses to developstudents’ entrepreneurial mindset (EM) is growing in popularity through efforts such as the KernEntrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN). As the integration of EML occurs, it is importantto assess students’ development of an EM to inform the efficacy of course changes. FollowingKEEN’s definition, we operationalize EM as the ability to create value, make connections, andbe curious. While we acknowledge the importance of all aspects of EML, in this full paper, wefocus on assessing students

phase into the semi-final and the final rounds of our elevator pitch competition forengineering students.BackgroundThe Capstone Design experience is the culmination of the engineering educational experience.Several authors have identified that the senior design project is the perfect opportunity to applyentrepreneurship skills and further develop the entrepreneurial mindset ([1], [2], [3]). Whilemany definitions of entrepreneurial mindset persist, many authors include communication skillsas one of the specific skills relevant in acquiring an entrepreneurial mindset ([4], [5], [6]) [7]).ABET student outcome #3 also focuses on "an ability to communicate effectively with a range ofaudiences" [8]. These specific outcomes are typically met with

-direction. What people tend to remember, and the meaning they ascribe to thesememories, is influenced by the people they share their stories with: their parents, friends, andteachers. Based on this research literature, we thus incorporated story-driven learning into ourundergraduate curriculum.Another central tenet in, and intended outcome of, our curriculum is the development of anentrepreneurial mindset, as described by the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network(KEEN). The ultimate goal of infusing entrepreneurially minded learning (EML) into ourundergraduate engineering curriculum is to not only develop our students’ engineering skill set,but to also habitualize the use of that skill set to create value for themselves, others, and societyas a

. To teach the concept of pivot, we had all students stand up and thenrotate themselves 180 degrees and list what they saw. For design thinking, we had them draw andhad each of them draw prototypes in real time while we gave prompts.Every session had an interactive component. We attempted not to lecture for too long. For thenegotiation session, we had them in groups of 2 and they had to negotiate as per the case. Table 1.

workshops were designed to help students think more creatively in their class projectsand practice a growth mindset [14] through short exercises demonstrating cognitive biases,barriers, and traps that prevent people from finding creative, novel solutions to problems.Thereby, we hope that students would be less likely to fall into these traps. According to a recentstudy by Burnette et al. [15], students in a growth mindset intervention, relative to the control,reported greater entrepreneurial self-efficacy and task persistence on their main class project andimprovement in their academic and career interests. Reducing the negative effect of the cognitivebiases, barriers and traps requires deliberate and repeated practice of CPS techniques. Althoughwe

program's initial role was to provide a generalist viewpoint on engineering, particularly for those undergraduates who had an entrepreneurial bent. The idea was to provide a degree program suitable for someone who would need to know knowledge across engineering disciplines, but not to senior level in all disciplines. Although the program had some students graduating each year, it was becoming somewhat stagnant by 2007 when an effort was made to begin a rejuvenation project. The working team of two faculty, one Mechanical Engineering faculty and one Computer Science faculty (first author of this report) examined both the market need for generalist engineering (prompted by The Engineer of 2020) and the
