assessment of “conceptual knowledge,” than all otherofferings.Both the project and homework assignments are fundamentally formative assignments designedto motivate and aid student learning. Grades are given more to encourage completion than forsummative evaluation. High scores on the project report were to be expected, since the studentswere encouraged to utilize the rubric to assess their own work while completing the project, andthey could ask the instructor and teaching assistant for specific feedback before handing in thereports. Further, they could earn up to 10 points extra credit for offering additional impactdemonstrating an entrepreneurial mindset (over 75% of the teams received extra credit). Yet highscores were also relatively easily

bringing the entrepreneurial mindset to engineering education. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 The rise of rapid prototyping in a biomedical engineering design sequenceIntroductionPrototyping has always played an important role in the design process as way to determineconceptual viability and iterate upon an idea. Over the last decade, the decreasing costs,improved accuracy, and wide-spread availability of rapid prototyping (RP) technology haslowered the barriers to early-stage prototyping. At universities, the result has been the rise ofmaker’s spaces, skill-based pop-up classes and rapid design challenges. In this paper, we explorethe history of rapid prototyping throughout the 1990’s and 2000

, providing real-time feedback ontheir research and design practices (Chickering & Gamson 1987). After a short lecture (sometimesaccompanied by an in-class activity, see Table 1), student teams use the lab session to work ontheir weekly design task. These assignments, as shown in Table 1, provide a step-wise path for thestudents to develop skills in problem discovery, concept generation, design iteration, Solidworks1 Curiosity is identified by the KEEN Network as central to the development of an ‘entrepreneurial mindset’ amongengineering students (http://engineeringunleashed.com/keen/).modeling, and final product presentation.
