. Page 15.434.7The Quiz, given near the end of the class before the project was due, consisted of two parts. Tenquestions examined the students understanding of the various topics presented in the class andthree questions asked the students to summarize what they learned, what recommendation theyhad for changes in the course, and how the course had changed their personal perception aboutInnovation and Entrepreneurship. Overall the students showed that they had grasped the mainconcepts presented. By examining the questions that they missed, we were however, able toidentify a few topics where they did not do as well as we hoped. For the second offering of thecourse, we followed up with discussions of finances and venture capital, income statements

The paper discusses three specific phases in our Page 15.865.3measurement efforts. Our early efforts focused on student entrepreneurial mindset amongengineering students studying entrepreneurship in a single class. Here we used measures of self-efficacy and locus of control as predictors of intention to start a business 2 3 4.

Because of the consequential overlap of leadership andentrepreneurial skills, the curriculum also addresses many aspects of the “entrepreneurialmindset” which includes communication, teamwork, ethical decision-making, opportunityrecognition, persistence, creativity, innovation, creative problem solving, and critical thinking.Individual components of the curriculum will be assessed as well as the curriculum as a whole.As one part of the assessment, a Leadership Self-Perception Assessment Instrument wasdeveloped.

Two professorsguide the direction taken by the students, a third professor coordinates students’involvement in a related research project, and an outside “client” directs the team towardlocal economic development. Students come from backgrounds in engineering, socialsciences, natural sciences, and the humanities. The consulting “contract” specifies theeconomic incentives for the work, and also steers the class toward the technological areasthat
