explored why some engineering alumni who co-founded or started a company in the pastmay no longer have an entrepreneurial interest. A logistic regression was conducted to explorewhat variables were the most important in predicting a student’s intention and interest inpursuing entrepreneurial activities.Three research questions guided this study: 1. How do engineering alumni with high intentions and high interest in pursuing entrepreneurial activities compare with peers with low entrepreneurial intention and interest in terms of demographics, career-related characteristics, self-confidence and interest in technical concepts and problems? 2. What factors influence alumni’s interest in and intention to pursue

Feweryoung people enroll in engineering programs than in the past, and many who do either drop outof such programs at a high rate or become dissatisfied with their career options and seekemployment in other professions after graduating.8 The 2002 report, Engage to Excel, indicatesthat increasing retention is the most efficient way to boost STEM graduates, and identifies keychanges engineering faculty members can make to their curriculum and teaching to fosterretention. Key is the need for intellectual and personal engagement, something often stifled byuninspiring courses and unwelcoming faculty.7 Retention also

, Entrepreneurship, and a Flipped Classroom Experience    Abstract  Graduates in chemical engineering pursue a wide variety of careers and, in today’s businessenvironment, technical proficiency is required but no longer sufficient to ensure success. Well-developed problem-solving skills and the ability to describe, convey, and sell those solutions toupper management is a must. The pace of business has also increased – higher productivity,shorter design turns, and global competition mean that successful engineers must be self-starters,seek out opportunities for improvements, and have an entrepreneurial mindset. Our currentcapstone design experience fails to fully prepare our graduates for these challenges. Currently,the course focuses on technical design

Entrepreneurial leadership consists of communication, teamwork, andproblem solving skills that are important to careers in STEM fields, including engineering. Forengineering, in particular, entrepreneurship and leadership skills relate directly to accreditationoutcomes that every undergraduate engineering program must address.

The net result of the interacting emotions may be anything from a meltdown of the engineer’s confidence (and concomitant drop in innovation-related competencies) to a team experience that improves the product, learns about the product/customer domain and builds team esprit de corps (and builds innovation-related competencies of individuals). These outcomes depend on many things including the dynamics of the design review and tone and content of

It seeks to demonstrate and describe four majortypes of entrepreneurial learning based on the degree to which venture creation is an expectedoutcome of the learning, and the level of uncertainty in the value proposition of the opportunity.Given that entrepreneurship takes on vastly different forms depending on these two dimensions, it islittle wonder that researchers and practitioners in the field confront difficulties in defining majorideas, identifying best practices, or measuring and comparing programs’ success.Rationale for the
