How Do I
Find & Create Cards?
What is a card?
An Engineering Unleashed "card" is an online template for faculty and staff to share modules, classes, projects, and more.
- Need ideas for class? Download lesson plans, presentations, case studies, student artifacts, and other resources for an individual unit, class, semester-long project, or entire curriculum.
- Share your course content. Provide your lesson plans and instructor tips, upload a variety of resources, and describe the purpose and outcomes you've experienced. There is no limit to the cards you can create.
Cards make it easy to implement and adapt the entrepreneurial mindset (EM) for anything from a lesson that fits into an existing course to an institution-wide approach.
Snapshot of a Card
In PBL in Materials - Aunt Ada's Tree House, here are some of the typical items you may expect when viewing or creating a card. A card expands vertically and grows with you; it can include as many resources as you have to share!
The first part of a card contains:
- Evocative image
- Descriptive title
- Description of project, class, course, etc.
- Alignment with the entrepreneurial mindset and relevant skillsets
- Applicable engineering disciplines
Next, you'll find:
- The author(s)
- Related group(s)
- Learning objectives
- Instructor tips
Toward the bottom, you'll see resources such as:
- Downloadable files
- Links to other cards or resources on Engineering Unleashed
- Links offsite to relevant resources
These resources could be:
- A syllabus
- Assignments
- Student artifacts
- Presentations
- Video clips
- Evaluations

Creating a Card
Cards 101
Cards 101 is an actual card that walks you through creating your own card. Whether you have a robust pack of information or a concise set of data, you’ll learn to:
- Write a descriptive title to capture interest from other faculty
- Share learning objectives and instructor tips
- Tell the story behind your class or project
How do I know if my card is "done"?
The Community Catalysts head up an initiative to provide an informal peer review for cards, from general completion all the way to exemplar. Assess your own card for its potential using these guides:
- Is your card complete? Will other faculty find it useable? Did you catch any typos? Did you upload all pertinent files?
- Use the Card Complete Rubric to evaluate your card.
- Is your card ready for the next stage? The Exemplar assessment provides a more robust, in-depth look at key items your card should contain.
