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.

The intent of the entrepreneurial approach is not to graduate students who willstart their own businesses (although some of the engineering alumni have already done so), butto motivate and create value for themselves and their employer that benefits society bydeveloping their entrepreneurial mindset [1] [2] [3] [4].Based on the authors’ experience, some students have a hard time coming up with a project thatmeets the requirements for the capstone course.

In engineering, among other initiatives, colleges and schoolshave leveraged entrepreneurship education programs (EEPs) to instill some of these needed skillsin graduates. Although these EEPs differ in size, structure, pedagogical approaches, andcurriculum, they generally focus on fostering entrepreneurial mindsets and behaviors, as well asteaching fundamental business content.The development of EEPs in engineering colleges and universities has led to the creation ofengineering entrepreneurship as a new area of inquiry in engineering education

EntrepreneurshipIntroduction:The University of Mount Union is a small, private, liberal arts institution located in the MidwesternUnited States. At the time of this work, The Engineering Department offered ABET-accreditedundergraduate degree programs in mechanical and civil engineering, with approximately 130students majoring in one of these disciplines. Based on alumni surveys, approximately 85% ofengineering graduates from Mount Union are hired into industry positions. For this reason, “thedevelopment of essential business skills” was established as one of the program’s Four Pillars ofExceptional Engineering Education (Fig. 1). Further, entrepreneurship was identified as animportant business skill, because the benefits of integrating the entrepreneurial mindset into

These were introduced in the context of the engineering design process. Part of the ABETdefinition [2] of engineering design includes “... examples of possible constraints include …sustainability…”. The goal of this approach is to include sustainability as a constraint right nextto manufacturability, usability, cost, etc. so students see it as just another thing they need toconsider and not an extra requirement of sorts.

Incorporatingengineering entrepreneurship into the ME curriculum provides students with these skills and withthe mindset necessary to better prepare them to enter the workforce [3].One important reason to incorporate engineering entrepreneurship into the engineeringcurriculum is to spur
