It has become imperative for educational institutions to facilitate entrepreneurship andinnovation by creating a significant economic impact on campus and its surrounding communities.The use of existing infrastructure of higher education institutions can relegate departments tooperating in silos, which makes it more difficult for administrators and faculty members tounderstand whether there are other departments that are doing similar activities around problemsolving, design, and engineering. There should be a push to take an inventory of what

While few individuals may existas entrepreneurial leaders, those few rise as internal organizational advocates and stars.The author argues that these dimensions extend from observable behaviors and responses in faceto face interactions (interviews, workplace meetings, day to day practice) to attitudinalreflections. It is important to note that while research has considered the more general categoryof the entrepreneur on situational success, research has rarely examined the unique role of

In practice, young graduate engineers who want to create the future in-stead of staying in a comfortable and predictable world of natural sciences, need to navigateand negotiate their way in complex and constantly changing environments that have both nat-ural sciences based and more human centered challenges. Engineering education research haswidely acknowledged this and it is a common baseline for curricula and teaching methods indesign and in engineering education yet pragmatic solutions tend to be context driven and fo-cused on areas that are measurable quantitatively.
