that while entrepreneurship may involveventure creation, it is also the demonstration of a particular set of skills, knowledge and behaviorsused to identify and develop new opportunities. As Kuratko (2005) explains, “the characteristicsof seeking opportunities, taking risks beyond security, and having the tenacity to push an ideathrough to reality combine into a special perspective that permeates entrepreneurs” (p. 578).This paradigm shift in the conceptualization of entrepreneurship from an innate characteristic to adevelopable skillset, has led to the creation of several entrepreneurship education programs inmultiple institutions to impart entrepreneurial knowledge, instill entrepreneurial skills, anddevelop entrepreneurial mindset in

Duval-Couetil et al. note that the integration of entrepreneurship intoengineering courses is a “relatively new movement.”11 Engineering faculty do not necessarilyunderstand entrepreneurship or the entrepreneurial mindset.17 Faculty also feel that theengineering curriculum is already overcrowded9,18 and there is no space for entrepreneurship-related electives.19 Also, there is not yet a broadly-agreed upon entrepreneurship curriculum forengineering students, in terms of course structure, student population or pedagogy.11,17,19Engineering DesignThus, it is clear that there is a need to have a better understanding of how to implemententrepreneurship into engineering curricula.
