Critical evaluation of construct development is necessary as themost commonly used entrepreneurship scales have been developed in the context ofbusiness creation among business students. As engineering entrepreneurship educationcontinues to evolve into its own unique field and encompass a wider scope beyond newventure creation, it is critical to reflect on this evolution in research and assessmentdevelopment.As the research community collaborates to formalize a common definition of EM, weadvocate that this should not stop practitioners from assessing student-learning

Confidence in written skills improved, thoughperhaps not as much, which likely more broadly reflects individual project mentors requirementsfor written work - there were no formal written report requirements for the REU as a whole, andso different students had different experiences here.

We have synergistically combined theelements to ensure the targeted outcome of the workshop - the ability to explain creativity andinnovation and their underlying dynamics, and the ability to apply the understanding to provideinnovative solutions to real-life problems.

In addition to the base ‘bot, students were given a set of sensors including an IR distance sensor (GP2Y0A21YK0F, Sharp), a bump sensor (snap action switch , Pololu) and two line tracking reflectance sensors (QTR-1A, pololu).

A particularly 10 striking example is a learning experience in a traditional signals and systems biomedical engineering class that required a cross discipline twist: producing a musical instrument from biological signals. The cross discipline induced constraints forced students to engage and dramatically learn from cross discipline subject matter experts. Other elements include the ability to learn from reflection, and being evaluated according to the metrics of the cross discipline vs. one’s own discipline. Cited references

their institution is (andwhat it is not).Alignment of objectives is an important element of effective education practice. In any course,the course content, assessments, and pedagogical practices should be aligned to improve learningand to have valid understanding of the students’ progress. This is more difficult across a wholeprogram with multiple instructors and course offerings, but it becomes almost impossible if theoutcomes are not clearly defined. The multiple definitions of entrepreneurship create many moreopportunities for confusion and misalignment across programs. By articulating the particulartype of entrepreneurship education being offered, administrators can better ensure thatcoursework across the program reflects the desired

In non-discipline specific courses, it can be challenging to designa project that piques the interest of all students. Some, like Shepard, will opt for giving thestudents a choice of projects. Most professors do not allow students to design and choose theirprojects, as it can be tough to achieve engineering learning and grading rubrics can bechallenging.

However, no true consensus exists in regardsto a definitive skill set, which may accurately reflect the amorphous nature of the profession.Regardless, as an educational program, skill development is an integral aspect of the minor. As a result, the instructors and evaluation team created a list of entrepreneurial traits orskills that should be addressed throughout the coursework including: creativity, optimism,opportunity recognition, the ability to act on an opportunity, persistence, ethical decision making,collaboration skills, the tolerance for ambiguity, communication skills, risk taking ability, beliefin success, and compassion.

This may be measured using psychometrics or evaluating student products usingcertain rubrics. In disciplines where the ‘correct answer’ is less precise, the rubric approach tendsto also pay attention to production process as well as outcome. In our discipline ofentrepreneurship education, not only is there no precise ‘correct answer’ to many managementand business opportunity questions, content uptake does not necessarily reflect the overallpreparedness of these students to become entrepreneurs.
