Thus, no single-level model can adequately provide a holistic account ofstudent outcomes of entrepreneurship education program because only limited conclusions canbe drawn from a single-level perspective.The third problem is the timing of measure. The ultimate impact sought from entrepreneurialeducation programs is the creation of an entrepreneurial mindset among the students. In order tomeasure whether the program creates entrepreneurial mindset among the students properly, theresearchers may need to wait years before the students graduate and then contribute toinnovations or new ventures in their later careers. This is not an option from the programevaluation perspective

This activity combines with an added emphasis among engineering programs to developan entrepreneurial mindset among their engineering students with the belief that this will lead tothem being more productive and innovative whether their career path leads them into establishedindustry (becoming “intrapreneurs”) or later as entrepreneurs.While this trend toward developing more entrepreneurially minded engineering students issupported by global economic trends and a rapidly changing work environment, one factor hasbeen largely overlooked in this process. Statistically, most entrepreneurial ventures fail, withdisproportionately large value being created from a minority of entrepreneurial endeavors (Coats,2019). Given this fact

while the world has experienced a growth in the number of institutions andprograms teaching engineering, graduate numbers are not increasing accordingly because of alack of qualified faculty, necessitating an emphasis on faculty development, especially at the entrylevel [2].

Faculty development is an ongoing process that should not stop atany level of an academic career, from new hire to a seasoned professor.
