However, traditional instructional and evaluation methodsmay make students overly risk averse, impacting their willingness to innovate to the extentnecessary to make disruptive changes to technology. Fostering an entrepreneurial spirit inengineering undergraduates may allow them to be more creative and less risk averse in theirapproach to solving multi-faceted, ill-defined problems. Analysis of student feedback fromreflection essays, self-report attitudinal surveys, and instructor assessment in two very differentcourses that promote the entrepreneurial mindset through student-driven projects will be used todistill the

The Consensual Assessment Technique (CAT)has shown promise in a variety of domains for its potential as a valid and reliable means ofcreativity assessment. Relying upon an operational definition of creativity and a group of ratersexperienced in a given domain, the CAT offers the field of engineering education an assessmentmethod that has demonstrated discriminant validity for dimensions of creativity as well as fortechnical strength and aesthetic appeal.

However, integrating PBL proves to be a challenge, especially in largelecture classes typically required for freshmen and sophomore engineers.

design processskills are not unlike decision making skills employed in real-life. However, describingengineering to pre-college students in these foreign terms may be intimidating2 which mayinhibit students from pursuing engineering in college. Therefore, there is a need to advertiseengineering for what it is: implemented problem solving.Engineers are natural problem solvers and seek challenge. Allowing novice engineers (pre-college students) to practice and develop their problem solving skills through design allows themto connect concept with implementation and verification thereby enhancing understanding andinterest while reducing apprehension to “engineering”. As students achieve success in smalldesign projects, their confidence is increased3
