本文描述了一种综合评估工具的开发，以检验工科学生创业教育的多重结果。它针对的是参加顶石工程设计课程的高年级学生，是一项更大规模研究的一部分，该研究旨在澄清教师信念和实践、项目特点和学生结果之间的关系。该评估利用了调查人员自己的工程和创业项目中使用的调查项目，以及文献中确定的其他项目。项目分为六类：1)态度，2)行为，3)知识和技能，4)自我效能感，5)对项目和教师的看法，6)人口统计数据。本文概述了研究小组考虑的评估工具，以及创建最终学生调查所使用的方法。它讨论了在开发和管理过程中遇到的挑战，包括确定实地验证的评估、选择响应量表、调查长度以及学生和教师的参与。讨论了第一年跨多个机构收集数据的初步结果。
This paper describes the development of a comprehensive assessment instrument to examine the multiple outcomes of entrepreneurship education for engineering students. It is targeted at senior-level students enrolled in capstone engineering design courses and is part of a larger study intended to clarify the relationship between faculty beliefs and practices, program characteristics, and student outcomes. The assessment draws on survey items used within the investigators' own engineering and entrepreneurship programs as well as others identified in the literature. Items fall into six categories including: 1) attitudes, 2) behaviors, 3) knowledge and skills, 4) self-efficacy, 5) perceptions of programs and faculty, and 6) demographic data. The paper provides an overview of the assessment instruments that were considered by the research team and the methodology used to create the final student survey. It discusses challenges encountered during development and administration including identifying validated assessments in the field, selecting response scales, survey length, and student and faculty participation. Preliminary results from year one of data collection across multiple institutions are discussed.
