accepted solutions and anticipating new directions for researchPrior to the Fall 2019 revision, students were encouraged to select a topic from a list of ~10topics chosen by Engineering and Writing Arts instructors each semester. Other instructorsallowed students to choose their own topic subject to instructor approval. The crucialrequirement was that the topic be rooted in technology, but also be topical and relevant tosocietal considerations, such that it was well represented in both peer-reviewed technicalliterature and the popular press. Examples of topics used prior to 2019 include self-drivingvehicles, smart grid, asteroid mining and wearable sensors.Once students had chosen a topic, for the rhetorical analysis, they located and

software results, selection of superior design through NABC approach, AutoCAD drawings for the selected design, and conclusions. The proposal was assessed through evaluation rubrics. Table 3 illustrates the rubrics. 16% scored at least 90% and 42% scored 75% to 90% as well as 60% to 75%.5- Peer evaluation- 5%: team members were asked to evaluate their peers through rubrics on different skills such as working with others, attitude, time management, quality of work, contributions, and problem solving. The students were asked to submit their peer evaluation twice, one in the middle and the other at the end of the project. Appendix 6 shows the rubrics. 90% scored at least 90% and 10% below 60%.6- Presentation- 15%: each company was

, students create a learning portfolio using Googlesites that tells their story of initial entrepreneurial mindset growth over the course of their firstsemester at Georgia Tech. They also share their portfolios with faculty, peers, and upper levelstudents from BMED4000 (described below) at an ePortfolio showcase event at the end of thesemester.At the other end of the curricular framework is a unique culminating course called BMED4000The Art of Telling Your Story. In this upper level course, students learn to make connectionsbetween their experiences throughout their time at Georgia Tech and reflect on these experiencesthrough the lens of an entrepreneurial mindset. While BMED1000 focuses on folio thinking as ameans of developing entrepreneurial

also fostergreater buy-in from the faculty, the majority of whom in the department were hired after theprevious assessment plan was developed. However, while the engineering programs in thedepartment decided to write all of their performance indicators from scratch, the computerscience program took a different approach.There were two “Aha!” moments that critically shaped the development of the CS assessmentplan. As mentioned earlier, the first occurred when examining the list of 52 eKSOs and realizingthat they were performance indicators, some with a noticeable degree of alignment to indicatorstypically used in assessing ABET Student Outcomes. By choosing those eKSOs that exhibitedsuch alignment, the program could form the nucleus of an

two of those scholars to participate in proposal writing activities. Further,several REU scholars have started graduate programs in materials science and engineeringnationwide, with two scholars starting their research at OSU and another scholar applying to ourgraduate program for Fall 2020. One of the significant impacts of this program was in groomingundergraduate engineering and science students to pursue interdisciplinary research with astrong-base in materials science and engineering. We believe that this is critical for developing aworkforce to address global grand challenges in energy, aerospace, medicine, environmentalsustainability and maintain technological leadership position of developed and developingcountries in the 21st

and experiences with team projects that emulate those inindustry. Martin acknowledged a trend in computing education where most software thatstudents write for programming assignments “never see the light of day.” Consequently, Martinargued that “toy projects” that have no real customers or use outside of the classroom areharmful [8].Likewise, Nurkkala and Brandle assessed common gaps between common software engineering“toy projects” and real software practice, explaining: A student project is just that—a project. It is not a product in any meaningful, commercial sense. Such a nonproduct escapes the scrutiny of sales, marketing, and customer relations. It also is isolated from external forces like press reviews, competing
