AB  - Our study in this Work in Progress paper presents preliminary results from the first stage of a three-year research project centering on the creation and validation of a pre-post survey instrument for evaluating entrepreneurially-minded learning (EM) for students engaging in course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs). The survey instrument has 18 questions asking students to rate their ability to perform various sub-activities within these five research domains on a five-point likert scale. Survey validation included the evaluation of question reliability and strength of correlation to the research domains using confirmatory factor analysis. This evaluation included the analysis of 115 student responses who participated in 12 CUREs across three different academic institutions. The confirmatory factor analysis revealed a high Cronbach Alpha Coefficient along with high factor loadings, indicating that the survey questions have good reliability and correlation with the associated research domains – thus providing a robust tool for the evaluation of EML.  A preliminary analysis of student responses using the survey instrument showed a statistically significant improvement in students’ EML for all five research domains. The future application of the survey instrument in more classes in the R4A research program will seek to evaluate if statistically significant shifts in students’ EML are attained through engaging in CUREs. Additionally, by combining findings from the survey with qualitative and quantitative comparisons of research activities employed within the CUREs, future work will aim to evaluate which CURE activities led to the greatest gains in students’ EML.
