Entrepreneurship & Engineering Innovation

Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E) learningenvironments in engineering courses and programs, it is valuable to assess the characteristics andcareer goals of engineering students who pursue them.Research QuestionsThe primary research questions for this study are: 1. What are characteristics of engineering students who are pursuing business minors, concentrations, and certificates? 2. Are these students more likely to be involved in entrepreneurship-related and other extra- and co-curricular activities than are other engineering students? 3. Do these students have higher (or lower) innovation self-efficacy than do other engineering students? 4. Is there a difference in career goals between these students and their peers

However, the unidimensional scale was soon challenged by multifactor models.
