While movie screens and televisionshows put a spotlight on lawyers, doctors and policemen (and occasionally also on forensicscientists), they only occasionally pick entrepreneurs as the characters of interest.This paper has identifies and reviews a number of known and available portrayals ofentrepreneurs in feature films.

However, making both faculty and students aware of this difference may providesubstantial advantages in both the educational, and future career, environments. The present study is recognized as being very preliminary. For example, the students in this particularuniversity are selected through a relatively rigorous admission process, likely resulting in a number of impacts onthe mindset of the incoming student. Further, the sample size (approximately 250 responses) is relatively limited.Despite the preliminary nature of this research, a

-efficacy model [10] and the social cognitive career theory [22] have been widelyutilized in engineering education research. These models define self-efficacy as an individual’sbelief in their ability to successfully complete tasks and reach desired outcomes. Further, it isclaimed that an individual’s perceived self-efficacy towards a specific activity influences theirinterest towards it, both of which indirectly influence the individual’s choice to further practicethe activity and gain proficiency at it. This finding was repeated in engineering education by across-sectional study on educators and students, where it was found that engineering design self-efficacy was influenced by experience and correlated with task-specific motivation (i.e

This approach to engineering anddesign may be counter-intuitive to the well-trained engineer who has not previously consideredthe power of markets in establishing the prevailing definition of “value”.The notions of “difficult to copy” and “difficult to substitute” are also market or, at least,industry specific terms, but they are not difficult for engineers or scientists to appreciate. Theirstandard training involves the competitive quest to be original and to strive for recognition basedon this originality.

For example, most technical companies expect that new hires will be able to tacklecomplex multidisciplinary problems, and the ability to innovate is now an “integrative meta-attribute” desired in all engineering graduates 3. Pulling together disparate fields in innovativeways is now an expectation.

not encourage creativity or innovation[1]. Innovation can bedefined as a new and valued product, process, or concept that has been introduced to the marketor society[2]. Engineering educators should better prepare students for careers in innovation. Indoing this, they must “undermine their students’ blind commitment to the engineering paradigm”[3] which is centered around the scientific approach to knowledge making. To accomplish thischallenge, the exploration of paradigms such as ones used in the schools of business,communications, and political science is suggested. Incorporating this exploration will allow theengineering and technology student to critically reflect on and debate the beliefs, practices, andvalues of their paradigms and
