However, it is not easy for students to build upentrepreneurial skills within one course or a couple of courses in an already crowded engineeringprogram. The College of Engineering (CoE) at Colorado Technical University (CTU) decided toembed entrepreneurial skills in engineering learning activities for a number of coursesthroughout the program curriculum, requiring an efficient and integrated process.

Upon reflection, wemust ask ourselves, “Does an educational experience infused with entrepreneurship create moreentrepreneurial minded people?”, and more specifically, “How can we assess if a change inmindset is occurring on our campus?”There are two macroscale approaches to conducting research on the subject of entrepreneurship,with one focusing on the impact of entrepreneurship in the economy and how
