©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 Gap Analysis for Assessment of Entrepreneurial Mindset in EngineeringAbstractThe efforts to incorporate an Entrepreneurial Mindset (EM) in engineering have grownsignificantly in recent years. The purpose of this work-in-progress research is to determine whattools and methods are currently used to assess EM, and what gaps exist in the current practice.To determine the current practices we performed a comprehensive literature review, anassessment review of cards on Engineering Unleashed, and a series of faculty interviews. Todetermine the gaps in the current assessment tools, we reviewed the results from each of the datasets and conducted additional industry

[8] outlines the history of the entrepreneurship and provides a definition foragrarian (agricultural) entrepreneurship: Agrarian entrepreneurship is an initiative, independent activity of citizens and their associations, aimed at obtaining income at their own risk and for property liability in within defined organizational and legal forms operating in the agricultural sector of the economy [8, p.428-429].Entrepreneurship is not a new idea in the agricultural sector, however studies in this area tend tofocus primarily on entrepreneurial skills and behavior in developing countries [9]. The researchalso looks at entrepreneurial programs and their effects on both women and
, includinganalyzing markets, understanding the importance of context, and learning from mistakes [13].Additionally, in 2015, a survey of American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE)members indicated that both faculty and administrators believe that engineering students shouldhave access to education regarding entrepreneurship and innovation [14]. Therefore, there is anincreased effort to fuse EM concepts into engineering coursework.The Entrepreneurial Mindset at Ohio StateOne organization focused on integrating EM concepts into engineering coursework is the KernEntrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN) [13].

exposure to entrepreneurship practices [1]. While traditional entrepreneurshipeducation has focused on self-employment and venture creation, recent advancements haveshifted the emphasis toward developing entrepreneurially-minded graduates. In particular, EEPsin engineering have evolved to focus on cultivating entrepreneurial skills and mindsets,expanding beyond sole enterprise formation [2]. These EEPs are posited as a means to fosterinnovativeness in students' chosen fields of employment upon graduation [3]. Moreover,engineering EEPs have advanced from business-oriented programs to more immersive, real-world-oriented approaches that aim to help students acquire entrepreneurship-related traits,skills, and mindsets [2].

IntroductionThe Technology Entrepreneur Center at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC)exists to help students develop an entrepreneurial mindset and change the way they see the worldto tackle important challenges [1]. This is achieved through both curricular and co-curricularopportunities available to undergraduate and graduate students in primary degree programs fromacross campus. The Center provides a variety of resources for students, including courses andacademic programs, workshops, networking opportunities with
core content areas when compared to entrepreneurship programsin higher education, that are often isolated to Business programs. For example, Rodriguez andLieber (2020) talk about the ways that high school programs that provided students with hands-on experiences working with small businesses were successful in developing entrepreneurialmindsets, competencies, and desires. They write: “Students in entrepreneurship educationshowed an overall statistically significant increase in entrepreneurial mindset, specifically incommunication and collaboration, opportunity recognition, and critical thinking and problem-solving. Moreover, there was a positive association between entrepreneurial mindset gains andperceptions of future career success.” (p, 87

Phase 2 of the study includes conducting workshops withsocial scientists who study the attributes and ESP leaders. The goal of the workshops isto identify assessment frameworks grounded in social science theory and literature thatwill guide the measurement of the attributes. This paper will focus on the results of theDelphi Study.ESPs are one mechanism by which students can gain knowledge, skills, andcapabilities for both students who aspire to be entrepreneurs as well as those who planto work in industry settings. It should be noted that most ESP programs focus on thedevelopment of an entrepreneurship mindset. While the term

Individuals who exercise an entrepreneurial mindset recognizeproblems as opportunities, assess potential impact of solutions, and use their skills to create valuefor others. This is what is desired in undergraduate students. Students need to be exposed tothese concepts early in their academic career and by doing so, this
