We plan to assess whetherthis new approach for learning has helped the students to better understand the material through aconcept inventory and their ability to do independent design projects.At the beginning of the course, we will assess the knowledge and skills of the students byadministering a concept inventory. This inventory consists of multiple choice questions thatfocus on fundamental concepts taught in previous versions of the course. Since the studentpopulation is a mixture of ECE and BME majors that

Some ofthese design projects incorporate entrepreneurship and other components of EML. For example,Brown University’s Division of Engineering instituted a two-course sequence to mergeentrepreneurship in an engineering design project, where students worked in teams to create abusiness plan and prototype for a product they created [12]. Additionally, the Franklin W. OlinCollege of Engineering sought to redesign their engineering curriculum to instill an“entrepreneurial thinking” culture in their program [13].

Teachers need new models tosee the transformative powers of non-textual digital resources in their classrooms. Unfortunately,studies indicate that traditional approaches to in-service training for teachers (usually of the “halfday workshop” variety) often do not lead to change in classroom practice by these sameeducators [39].We report here on the dynamics of combining PRISM assessment results and the emerging needfor new IT literacy skills in 21st century STEM careers to guide a PRISM transformation.
