innovative pedagogies that can help enhancethe employability of students. In response to this need, an exploratory study was conducted at asatellite campus of a large, Midwestern research-focused university. The intervention includedthe implementation of an entrepreneurially minded and communication-focused project,developed by the instructor of an upper-level undergraduate manufacturing course. Post-completion of the project, a metacognitive reflection assignment was administered to theparticipants and subsequently, data was collected. Participant responses were qualitativelyanalyzed using thematic analysis which led to the discovery of three themes: (1) identifyingvalue in nature-inspired design, (2) confidence in communication and self-expression

impacted theircollaboration skills, and whether their involvement affected their interest in participating inengineering outreach activities. To determine how their perceived impact of the project on theirprofessional preparation has changed from when they took the class to now when they areworking professionals, we compare their recent responses to the responses in reflections theycompleted while taking the course. The information gathered in the survey also provides a meansto evaluate the effectiveness of the project and identify areas for improvement, which hasimplications for how similar projects might be designed and enacted in the future.

] focuses on assessing student learning and experience to ascertainwhether students have acquired the skills, knowledge, and competencies related to their programof study. The ET department faculty use a combination of direct and indirect methods forassessment and evaluation of the SOs. The results and findings of these evaluations aresystematically utilized as input for the program’s CI actions[1], [13]. Direct methods requirestudents to exhibit their knowledge and skills as they respond to the instrument itself. Objectivetests, projects, laboratory work, presentations, and classroom assignments all meet this criterion[14]. Indirect methods such as surveys and interviews require students to reflect on their learningrather than to display it [12

, makingthem to see themselves as entrepreneurially minded individuals [7, 8]. Storytelling, throughwhich students share specific work or school situations that might represent a wide variety ofethical concerns [9] also constitutes ways to enhance and to extend the ethics learning outside atypical classroom setting.The integration of informal peer assessments provides additional opportunities for students toengage with academic content vicariously and to learn from their peers’ stories. The informalassessment process lowers the stakes, focuses on students’ learning as reflected in each story’snarrative, and encourages participation and creativity. Moreover, the processes of generating andsharing stories and the peer assessment process connect to
