In addition to weekly group activities, there is a semester teamproject and presentation involving appropriate technology topics. Although specificallydesigned for students leaning towards electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computerscience, other majors often take this course. Approximately one-third of the course is anintroduction to MATLABTM programming. This is followed by appropriate material andworkshops on topics such as computational modeling of Cochlear implants, implantabledefibrillators, national electric power grid modeling with software, introduction to

Clearly, for entrepreneurshipeducation to embrace the 21st century, professors must become more competent in the use ofacademic technology and also expand their pedagogies to include new and innovativeapproaches to the teaching of entrepreneurship.”Since 2006 KEEN (Kern Entrepreneurship Education Network) schools are preparing moreentrepreneurial engineers in the United States [19].
