Here, it is important to remember that theentrepreneurial mindset focuses on one’s mental attitude and belief system, which is acquired andnurtured over time with continued practice, reflection and feedback. As explained by Carol S.Dweck, a change in mindset requires effort, practice, and challenging tasks [7]. Regardless ofwhether it is the entrepreneurial mindset or the growth mindset, practice and more practice canchange one’s beliefs and attitudes, which in return can instill and reinforce the entrepreneurialmindset. Common methods for integrating practice, reflection, and feedback into the curriculumcan be through semester-long scaffold projects, journaling, peer feedback, and formativeassessments.#4: Curriculum Design for Best

first decade of this century. A systems engineer is acutely aware of this issue when considering every aspect of managing a business and designing a product. For managing a project, system engineering forces the manager to define the goals and objectives of the project. The project manager with an understanding of the systems viewpoint is capable of knowing the difference between the long-term goals and short-term goals, and can focus on the long-term goals when making strategic decisions. Indeed, the issues of life cycle development are prominent within the literature on project management, and hence they have had an impact on systems thinking by project managers. Another important focus of systems in engineering is from

After each of the five conference calls, the student group writes a reflective paperabout what they have learned. This method differs from the traditional case study approachbecause the students do not just read what is written, but can ask initial questions and ask follow-up questions to get a better understanding of what is important by the inflection of the mentor’svoice and hearing the mentor convey it in his/her own words.This research is for the purpose of sharing best practice with other instructors and understandingthe key factors to the program’s success.

evaluating the achievement of learning outcomes prior tostudent graduation. Direct measures are those that assess achievement by observation ofperformance rather than by soliciting opinion about the achievement of a particular outcome. Astandardized exam is a good direct measure. Others might include a third party evaluation ofstudent projects or a manager’s assessment of work done on co-op/internship. A standardizedexam may be the most tempting for busy faculty trying to assess their program because it isfairly easy to administer, the results are naturally quantifiable, and the program can more or lessguarantee a consistent rate of response. Such an exam, however, should be evaluated using apsychometric evaluation to study reliability, validity
