Entrepreneurial Engineering CareerAbstractIf an engineering program has superb technical content, what, if anything, can be done to raisethe level of educational excellence in its graduates? Especially, if a key intent is to increase thedegree entrepreneurial-mindedness of its graduates and promote innovation? We believe theanswer is to truly integrate the core professional competencies cultivated by general educationinto the engineering curriculum and to have general education courses more specifically connectto issues that engineers need to be more aware of in a career climate of extensive globalization.General education is an essential educational component to be embraced as being on par inimportance in an engineering curriculum with technical topics

Integration of EM early on was focused on the idea that young students need to haveexposure to EM to improve their career readiness [5].The push for EM to be a focus in undergraduate engineering courses and programs started after acall from the National Academy of Engineering in 2005 [7]. Although engineering studentsdevelop many skills during their time as undergraduates, it has been determined that engineerswith entrepreneurial skills are vital to a developing society [8], [9]. For this reason, the technicalskills, although important to possess, should also be accompanied by development of how tothink outside the box and

In doing such, students would now have themindset and skills to become innovative, entrepreneurial engineers who would be flexible,resilient, creative, and empathetic and, as such, have the ability to recognize and seize opportunitiesduring their entire engineering career. 1 This is shown as Figure 1 in a Venn diagram.

Structured interviews of covered the participants’ family background, their motivations forenrolling in their major, their expectations with respect to career (including startups), their attitudestoward risk, and reflection on the interview. In the course of the interviews, participants were askedto rate their risk tolerance and their interest in pursuing a startup. Analysis of the interviews suggeststhat the principal indicator of entrepreneurial intent was interest in a startup, that most students’perceptions of the desirability of startups are negative, and that

These students will also have more positive perceptions of entrepreneurship as apossible career path. 2) More positive views of entrepreneurship as a career will be positivelyassociated with higher scores on locomotion and creative self-efficacy and lower scores onassessment. 3) Students with a close family member who is an entrepreneur will be more likelyto intend to minor in engineering entrepreneurship and have more positive perceptions ofentrepreneurship as a career.

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.

Intrapreneurs are particularlycritical for engineering because this academic domain often provides the foundation the technicalexpertise needed to commercialize innovation. Many important innovations will come fromexisting organizations; as such, most new graduates will begin their careers with establishedfirms, and intrapreneurial skills have been identified as drivers in retention and careeradvancement in engineering-focused firms [2]. The literature suggests enhancing intrapreneurialskills of students in engineering can be achieved through a combination of curricular and real-world experiences [3]. Since traditional engineering curricula often neglect entrepreneurialtopics, as well as intrapreneurial
