Student performance was greatlyimproved when writing use cases, especially clarity and completeness which was reflected inimproved projects. Quantitatively, the same mindset objectives were assessed in other coursemodules as part a larger curriculum wide effort in Engineering. The numerical results indicatethat the modules in this course outperformed other modules in the curriculum for most of themindset objectives. Ultimately, the results indicate these types of modules may play an importantrole in entrepreneurial mindset development for computer science students.IntroductionThis paper describes a set of modules designed to

It is taught in a combinedlecture/lab environment with three meetings a week for a total of five contact hours. Although thecourse has been taught by seven different instructors over the years, it is essentially a team-taughtcourse. Instructors use the same textbook and syllabus, they collaborate on writing and gradingquizzes and exams, and they use common grading rubrics. Over the years

Lord Byron achieved an immense reputation for his poetry and playboyantics in his own lifetime and is still regarded as one of the most important British Romanticpoets. Shortly after Ada’s birth, Lord Byron separated from his wife [4]. He died tragically ofdisease while fighting in the Greek War of Independence in 1824, when Ada was eight years old[4]. In 1833, the novelist Edward Bulwer Lytton wrote of Byron’s death: “When Byron passedaway, we turned to the actual and practical career of life: we awoke from the morbid

Analysis of the data indicates that student-selected teams performed better onthe team assignment than teams formed using other strategies, but the observed improvementwas not statistically significant.
