The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that rubrics offeran excellent method for reducing faculty workload by providing a means to link gradingand assessment.3Faculty members of the Biomedical Engineering (BME) Courses and CurriculumCommittee, which is also responsible for assessment, have worked as a team to developseveral rubrics that are used by individual faculty to grade projects or other samples ofstudent work in several BME courses. Different components of the rubrics can then beemployed in various combinations to assess various programmatic outcomes

In this three credit-hour course, engineering design andprinciples are taught through team-oriented design projects supported by communicationskills: graphical and written. The course has three components with fifteen doubleperiods (two hours each) for each segment of the course. The first component of thecourse introduces students to computer application skills including CAD. The secondcomponent deals with manual graphic and drafting skills.

Further, certain assignments, such as homework, projects,and field studies reinforce the knowledge and skills learned in classroom. Moreover, facultieshave an opportunity to measure the outcomes using quizzes and exams. An engineering facultymight even use quizzes and exams as additional learning opportunities.Classical theories of leadership style and situational leadership suggest that faculties, as leadersof the class, should flex their style based on the readiness of students, as followers.

There are a variety ofdifferent surveys that have been shown to address EM in undergraduate students, one of which iscalled the Engineering Student Entrepreneurial Mindset Assessment (ESEMA) [16], which hasbeen shown to have both validity and reliability [17].Due to the nature of most EM studies, survey data is often only gathered for one class level suchas during the first year or senior year [4, 6, 8, 18-20].
