DetroitMercy in response to the need for introducing the entrepreneurial mindset to engineeringstudents at a very early stage. The course is required of all undergraduate students in MechanicalEngineering, Electrical Engineering and Robotics/Mechatronic Systems Engineering. Thecourse is centered on a recently developed commercial technology where the students are taskedwith analyzing that technology and associated intellectual property. They are then tasked withproposing ventures in other markets using that technology and to do so in business terms.Assessment results indicate an increased level of self-confidence and self-efficacy in relation todeveloping and presenting product ideas.

business environment whereconsumers have changing needs, engineers need to be able to think creatively to meet thoseneeds. Thus, it is both the goal and the challenge for engineering students and educators alike tobuild creativity into the front end of teaching endeavors, research endeavors, and professionalendeavors. Few engineering endeavors are done without the idea of a cost-benefit analysis, whichbusinesses utilize to determine if they will make profits enough to start, innovate, and sustainproduction. Engineers of the 21st century thus need to realize that they need to think beyond justthe technology involved in a product or service. They need to be able to provide this product orservice at a price/value that would be acceptable to a

encouraged across an increasinglywide range of disciplines, the approach to teaching entrepreneurship has not been standardized.There are a number of competing perspectives regarding the most effective curriculum forteaching entrepreneurship. To make the matter even more complex, these perspectives differfrom school to school (e.g., from the business school to the engineering school) and also fromstudent level to student level (e.g., from undergraduate student to graduate student).1Business schools were the initial locus for entrepreneurship education, although a fewengineering programs such as the one at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology can laylegitimate claim to being pioneers of the genre.

Everything in this project was something that none of us had done before, regardless of major or experience. Another thing that was innovative was all of us got to work with each other at some level.

products continues to increase;providing additional motivations for including entrepreneurial training in highereducation. As a result, entrepreneurship education has spread laterally to non-businessdisciplines such as engineering, technology, science, and arts [10]. This expansion has ledto an evolution of entrepreneurship education from the business school model of venturecreation to focus on developing skills in graduates that foster innovation in their careerpursuits which may or may not involve self-employment [11]. Particularly inengineering, several curricular and co-curricular entrepreneurship programs have beeninitiated which typically use student-centered, experiential learning approaches to impartcontent knowledge and more importantly
