Secondly, we seek toprovide the students with a “toolbox” of skills to understand the business world and to assess thecommercial context and viability of new technologies.1.0 IntroductionIt is agreed by those pondering the future of engineering education1-4 that innovation andentrepreneurship (I & E) must be part of the experience that graduates entering the moderncompetitive and global workplace must possess.

The efforts to support entrepreneurship in engineering programs often come in the formof entrepreneurship experiential learning activities such as creating a business plan, consultingwith practicing entrepreneurs, interviewing potential customers, delivering pitches, applying togrants, and prototyping a minimal viable product (MVP).

transformation in engineering education is the development of MassiveOpen Online Courses (MOOCs) in the last dozen or more years. Researchers have explored theapplications in engineering [5], the challenges of credentials [6], and the opportunities forincreasing knowledge of entrepreneurship [7]. The challenge of retention in MOOCs has beenexplored by several researchers [8]–[10].
