This paper first discusses the overall assessment plan for the Engineering
Entrepreneurship (E-ship) minor at The Penn State University (Penn State).
Then, it gives the example of an assessment carried out for the Entrepreneurial
Leadership course (ENGR 310), which has been revised to better meet the
minor's vision. ENGR 310 is one of the four core courses of the E-ship minor
at Penn State. The current practice has been developed after a comprehensive
review of similar courses and entrepreneurship education literature as well
as taking into account the vision for the minor. This paper discusses the new
curriculum of the course, and relevant innovative changes. The results of
external and internal benchmarking and course assessment conducted to
measure student satisfaction and perceptions of the course are included in
the paper. Overall, the aim is to share implementation of these changes and
curriculum analyses as an avenue for entrepreneurship educators to learn from
others' experiences.
