These educational opportunities are provided either byintegrating entrepreneurship concepts into the engineering curriculum or through non-engineering courses, minors, and certificate programs available to engineering students [2].However, despite the growing recognition of the importance of entrepreneurship education forengineering graduates, research indicates that its widespread inclusion in undergraduateengineering curricula is still limited and not yet fully institutionalized [2, 3]. This could be due tofactors such as ABET accreditation requirements or constraints related to program flexibility andresources.

. Instead of grading for total level of learning, wespent an exorbitant amount of time focused on trying to make sure we “nickel and dimed” everystudent equally, consistently assessing the same penalty for the same errors. In a sense, precisegrading became more important than measuring student learning. As a result, we missed theforest for the trees and were less prepared to adjust course topics and class lectures for theoverall goal of student learning. For even the best designed rubric cannot accurately reflectstudent learning without including instructor intuition.After a semester grading against a rubric, our instructor intuition and grading confidence quicklygrew. Within this maturation process, we became more adept at focusing on the overall

When they originally baked cookies in the pilot kitchen, the instructor had planned for all the necessary raw materials of 1 batch of cookies to be in front of them (not measured). After that, the students had to think about the material requirements planning for baking approximately 1,200 cookies in a day. The instructor gave an approximation of some costs and her thought process, using the eggs needed for the recipe as an example.
