about the venture supportsystem for innovation [5] as it relates to inventions and workforce development is critical tounderstanding the relationship between engineering and entrepreneurship education. Inventorsrequire access to venture operations, incubators, accelerators, and legal resources as they look tobring their products to market and take them to scale. While the academic backgrounds ofinvestors are varied, about one-third of venture capitalists have an undergraduate major in aSTEM field [6]. However, the success of new ventures also requires entrepreneurial knowledgeand skills in addition to the expertise found in technology transfer offices.Entrepreneurship education prepares engineering students for the talent marketplace ([7]8
