Students created concept maps of the EntrepreneurialMindset before their design project started and then they were asked to iterate on the map afterthey completed their design project. This study examines the concept maps and uses anautomated scoring tool to complete traditional and categorical scoring. The results show that thecomplexity of the maps did increase

Studies suggest that concept mapping be a valid tool to categorize and to reflect changes instudents’ structures of knowledge in STEM disciplines 3, 5.

Development of a concept map requires selectivity and judgment,classified at the “synthesis level” of Bloom’s taxonomy. This requires a high degree of cognitiveengagement, and therefore when the students debate the technology- intensive subjects in partsIII, IV, V, and VII they are required to develop concept maps of their subjects to support theirstatements.The

began with interviewers summarized their notesand developed a concept map outlining the conversation. The interviewers were trained inontological concept map development using the method described by Turns, Atman and Adams(2000) and later adapted by Besterfield-Sacre et al. (2004). This method typically places thecore, central concept in the center of the page and then connects related concepts, sometimesusing “action words” to describe the nature of the connection. The interviewers assembled in aroom and drew their individual concept maps on a whiteboard, simultaneously explaining thefindings to the other interviewers. Once all maps had been displayed and discussed theresearchers summarized the findings and then developed a “consensus concept
