ofcritical networks of entrepreneurs and investors.The purpose of this pilot study was to gain understanding of the perceived impact of ourinstitution’s Summer Innovation Internship on students’ attitudes towards engineering design andentrepreneurship. Several studies have investigated students’ attitudes towards entrepreneurship,or entrepreneurial mindset, through various curricular and co-curricular activities1-4. To buildupon the growing body of literature that support the advantages of an entrepreneurial mindset,we are seeking to understand how engineering students’ entrepreneurial attitudes affect theirperceptions of the engineering design process and performance in the senior design course. Thiswould provide additional insights regarding

and in experiential learning for undergraduates in science and engineering. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Specifications Grading in an Upper-Level BME Elective CourseRecent trends in BME education emphasize aspects of the engineering profession such as designprocess, entrepreneurial mindset, and active problem-solving. However, the grading strategy inmost traditional BME courses revolves around assigning points to student work based onapparent quality or degree of completion. Awarding “partial credit” is time-consuming and oftenis not closely mapped to learning objectives [1]. As a result, students often focus on how manypoints they earned relative to their perceived level of effort
