AB  -  The purpose of this research was to develop classroom project modules that supported students in developing an entrepreneurial mindset in the context of software engineering. The modules connect the software development life-cycle from beginning to end including user focused requirements elicitation and evaluating quality attributes. The modules were implemented in a junior level software engineering course in 2019. A student survey was developed and measured student perceptions of learning objectives that tie directly into ABET accreditation outcomes. Students reported they found the activities most helpful for designing, building, and testing real world systems. 

Qualitatively, we found that the student work completed in these modules to be higher quality than similar work submitted in prior years.  Exam scores were improved when measuring students ability to create use cases, especially clarity and completeness.   Student performance was greatly improved when writing use cases, especially clarity and completeness which was reflected in improved projects.  Quantitatively, the same mindset objectives were assessed in other course modules as part a larger curriculum wide effort in Engineering.  The numerical results indicate that the modules in this course outperformed other modules in the curriculum for most of the mindset objectives.  Ultimately, the results indicate these types of modules may play an important role in entrepreneurial mindset development for computer science students.
