American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Modifying the VALUE Rubrics to Assess the Entrepreneurial Mindset J. Blake Hylton and Brock Hays, Ohio Northern UniversityIntroduction In an educational setting it is vital that we as educators are able to assess our learningoutcomes and effectively measure student progress towards those objectives. With that beingsaid, what can educators do when they trying to instill a characteristic that they don’t know howto asses? The engineering entrepreneurship community is tackling this issue head on, as theincreasing popularity of injecting an entrepreneurial mindset into the engineering curriculum hasbrought some of these “hard-to-assess” traits into the spotlight.

At Stevens, we are unable toallow students to choose a project in either of our multi-section, multi-instructor first-yearengineering design courses.However, entrepreneurial thinking is a more flexible topic that can enable students to select theirproject and also learn to apply these valuable skills. We propose that students will have a moresatisfying team experience in an entrepreneurial thinking course, than a design course, since theconcepts can be taught to almost any project.
