Not only engineering accreditation agencies are requiringteamwork assessment, but the professional workplace is expecting graduates that are prepared tobe productive in cross-functional teams1,2. From an innovation point of view, team negotiationstrategies are crucial for engineering design. Negotiation techniques entail the ways thatindividuals deliberate, discuss or communicate in order to achieve a particular temporary or longterm agreement or consensus.

. This is notsurprising given the potential rewards of a successful entrepreneurial career both with respect toallowing entrepreneurs the freedom to pursue their own ideas and visions as well as with respect tothe potential for large material rewards. But how do we nurture students to become successful en-trepreneurs? In this paper, we report on an innovative program at the authors’ institution, designedto nurture students to become IT entrepreneurs. While the program builds on the experiences ofother programs, it includes a number of novel components that are integrated together in an un-usual manner to interlock and complement each other.1.

It was our objective to developproject oriented courses that integrated these aspects at the university level.Our long journey towards this was inspired by ABET’s3 accreditation criteria 3(a-k) that mapwell to team-oriented semester long projects, as envisioned and implemented in the capstoneprojects of an engineering curriculum. However, not all the criteria can be met in the capstoneprojects. The capstone projects also tend to vary much in quality and focus, leading to demandson faculty and student members alike. This led us to utilize the lessons learned from a six- yearlong industry funded project on significantly increasing engineering design

An internal venture is separate from the main businesses and may even be moved offsite and given a great deal of autonomy. An example was a new TV guide venture that developeda software solution, connecting home-based applications to the cloud, via high-speed dataconnections. In this case, the technology was successfully tested first as a venture and is nowbeing integrated with the existing strategic business.

engineering students primarily and areembedded within the engineering curriculum, while others are campus-wide and target studentsin a wide variety of majors. Programs can also vary in terms of how they define their desiredoutcomes; some focus on generating a general awareness of entrepreneurship as a potentialcareer path, while others focus on developing innovative products and/or new business modelsand ventures. Some engineering schools, rather than offer a stand-alone course inentrepreneurship, integrate entrepreneurship throughout the engineering curriculum. Oneexample is Olin College which offers an integrated approach, whereby “entrepreneurship isinterwoven with mainstream engineering disciplines” (Fredholm et al., 2002).Entrepreneurship

used towards this effort.The common curriculum approaches include offering business-oriented courses and/or offering aminor in entrepreneurship. However, the engineering programs at our university are already verypacked and there are limited elective credits available for courses in entrepreneurship.Furthermore, being a small private university, it is also a challenge to find faculty members withrequisite expertise in entrepreneurship. To overcome these constraints, we employ an innovativecurricular model that is based on integrating short e-learning modules into existing engineeringcourses.
