, 2016Entrepreneurship education for women in engineering: A systematic review of entrepreneurship assessment literature with a focus on genderAbstract The nation’s economic vitality and global competitiveness depends on the creativity andinnovation of its citizenship. While institutions of higher education nationwide are beingpressured to train and produce a highly skilled technical workforce, engineering schools areespecially challenged with preparing their students to anticipate societal needs and translate theirtechnical expertise into commercializable solutions. In response to this challenge, engineeringschools have begun incorporating entrepreneurship education programs within their curriculums.Regardless of differences in size, scope, and

general, while recommendations for assessment strategies—such as incorporating reflectivepractices—are frequently offered, there is little robust evidence to support these strategies,particularly within engineering PBL contexts. Much of the research on PBL assessment strategieshas been conducted outside of engineering education, in fields like medical, law, and teachereducation and not in the field of engineering. While several publications offered insight related toassessment in PBL-based engineering programs, most papers were largely focused on assessingthe value of PBL practices as opposed to evaluating the assessment strategies proposed. As a result,these studies often fail to provide a comprehensive understanding of what should be assessed

It is alsoworth mentioning that only a limited range of courses taught by the same instructor were eligibleto take the survey. Again, this is partially due to the small size of [institution name redacted]’sengineering program and the trend towards classes either being fully in-person or fully online.Because the survey is anonymous and does not ask students about class performance, it is alsonot possible to compare survey responses with student performance during class.

to describe this type of assessment plan may vary, including Standards Based Grading orSpecifications Based Grading [3], the end result is the same: students are given multipleopportunities to show mastery at a particular skill or course learning objective.Intuitively, this approach makes sense, especially when engineering programs themselves areevaluated on a continuous improvement plan for ABET accreditation [6]. However, it is not oftenthe case in higher education in the United States to see a constant learning cycle presented to thestudents. While most instructors would agree that student learning is the highest priority, manycourses still offer a limited number of high-stakes assessments, which ultimately represent asignificant

In one-on-one settings, feedback is often immediate and continuous. When ateacher addresses a small group, occasional verbal feedback is possible, but is largely limited.Student responses and questions are a useful source of immediate information, but these areoften limited to a few students within a group.
