[31].A 1996 work by Lee [32] concluded that U.S. academics in the 1990s were more favorablydisposed than in the 1980s toward closer university-industry collaboration, but were concernedabout the impact of close university-industry cooperation, which was viewed as likely tointerfere with academic freedom—the freedom to pursue long-term, disinterested, fundamentalresearch. The findings indicated the challenge to creating the right balance between these twocompeting concerns. The NSF report “Impact of Transformative Interdisciplinary Research andGraduate Education on Academic Institutions” cited the need for institutional support of faculty,new mechanisms for promotion and tenure collaborations, and better ways of organizing theinstitution to

The EAO is a well-designed multivariateinstrument for measuring the students’ entrepreneurial attitude. We would like to update andenhance the instrument, and collect data broadly across disciplines. From which we can set up anormative score and explore if it can be used to identify students with entrepreneurial inclinationand correlate that to future success in entrepreneurship programs (e.g. the SAT is normalized to amean score of 500, with one standard deviation points at 400 and 600. SAT was validated forpredicting students’ first year success in college). That might be an additional tool for theprograms to identify and

Entrepreneurial mindset inour study is operationally defined as a more growth orientated mindset versus a fixed orientatedmindset. This operational definition and the accompanying mindset measurement instrument wasdeveloped and validated by Carol Dweck of Stanford University. Based on Dweck‟s researchresults we assume a growth mindset is a reasonable surrogate for a student engineer‟s creativeand innovative or

As we hope this paper makes clear, it takes a great deal ofresearch and analysis to understand the complexities of differences in legal and regulatorysystems and how those systems relate to differences in values and preferences. From a curricularpoint of view, we cannot reasonably expect to provide students with all the kinds of knowledgethey would need to collaborate across all polities globally (any more than we could expect themto learn all the languages their engineering collaborators might speak).

: The program accepted some students who had terminal (non-transferable) degrees. Students who were enrolled in terminal (non transferable) degrees were advised they would need to change their majors, but were faced with the prospect of additional time at PGCC or UM as they completed requirements for a traditional bachelor’s degree. One Hillman Entrepreneur graduated with the two-year engineering tech degree and decided he needed to get a full-time job after earning that degree so he could support his family.

IfAmerican universities are to prepare highly innovative engineers for the corporate worldengineering faculty need to understand innovation and intrapreneurship (“i-ship”) in thecorporate context. Through a grant from the Kern Family Foundation, four universities (Baylor,Dayton, Detroit Mercy and Villanova) partnered on such a study as a step toward developingcurriculum that prepares undergraduate engineers to be more effective innovators andintrapreneurs in corporations.

Indeed, many students are first attracted to NEWPATH because they have such ideas, do not know what to do with them, and want to be able to discuss the ideas with others who might have more experience with startups than they themselves have. The sessions at which these presentations are made tend to be the ones that draw the most active participation from all students.

increase in mentorship,entrepreneurial workshops and competitions. VII. Future WorkPrevious studies have proposed different methods of assessment for the impact ofentrepreneurship education on engineering students (Upton, Sexton, & Moore, 1995; Wheeler,1993). Some researchers have suggested using the ratio of entrepreneurs among engineeringalumni to entrepreneurs in comparison with business or general alumni population. Others usedthe number of start-ups founded per engineering alumni within x years after graduation incomparison with those by business or general alumni population. Some even suggested using taxdata to compare their household income. While entrepreneurship is important for the economy,these criteria may not be the best way
