American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Modifying the VALUE Rubrics to Assess the Entrepreneurial Mindset J. Blake Hylton and Brock Hays, Ohio Northern UniversityIntroduction In an educational setting it is vital that we as educators are able to assess our learningoutcomes and effectively measure student progress towards those objectives. With that beingsaid, what can educators do when they trying to instill a characteristic that they don’t know howto asses? The engineering entrepreneurship community is tackling this issue head on, as theincreasing popularity of injecting an entrepreneurial mindset into the engineering curriculum hasbrought some of these “hard-to-assess” traits into the spotlight.

In anintroduction to engineering class, many first-year students do not see the connection of small,one-off lab activities, to their engineering identity and the EM. The first year is a critical time forstudents to develop their sense of self and identity. The purpose of this paper was to determine ifintroducing a
