AC 2009-828: INTEGRATING ENTREPRENEURSHIP THROUGHOUT ANELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER ENGINEERING CURRICULUMEric Johnson, Valparaiso UniversityMark Budnik, Valparaiso UniversityDoug Tougaw, Valparaiso University Page 14.757.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2009 Integrating Entrepreneurship Throughout an Electrical and Computer Engineering CurriculumAbstractMany engineering programs are attempting to emphasize the importance of entrepreneurship andan entrepreneurial mindset for all engineering students. Since many start-up companies arefounded on the basis of a newly developed technology, it is a natural progression for at leastsome engineering

She is also Managing Director of SKG Analysis, a research consulting firm. Her expertise and interests focus on education and
programs, a critical first step is to understand the entrepreneurialinterests and characteristics of undergraduate engineering students as compared with studentsmajoring in business. Comparing these two groups of students suggests some of the ways thatbusiness-based courses might be modified for an engineering audience. In addition, someentrepreneurship programs are designed to service engineering and business majors;understanding how these students compare in terms of entrepreneurial interests andcharacteristics would allow for a better designed course for both groups of students. Nabi et al.have reported that business students showed higher entrepreneurial intent than did engineeringand technology students, based on their survey of undergraduate

interviews, we are attempting to identify the “critical features” offailure that engineering students are aware of and how it relates to their pre-failure experiencesand post-failure responses. Another way of conceptualizing the purpose of phenomenography is“to describe variation in experiences in a way that is useful and meaningful, providing insightinto what would be required for individuals to move from less powerful to more powerful waysof understanding a phenomenon” (Bowden, 2005, p. 72).Participants:We are choosing to focus on engineering students who started technology-based companieseither during or immediately after college and whose endeavors ceased operation without eitherselling the venture or achieving a traditional “exit” event.

In this new paradigm, the significance ofunderstanding of non-technical human-based factors and principles of business acumen areintegrated into classic technical engineering courses. The ultimate goal of this re-engineeredpedagogy is to prepare the students to be influential team players and entrepreneurial engineerswith great communication skills.There are several studies in the literature that investigate the impact of the entrepreneurshiptraining on engineering and science students.

. However, in the past year, the minorhas transitioned to a university-wide minor with two clusters housed in the College ofEngineering. The entrepreneurship minor currently has five clusters, which are open to studentsof any major. Two of these clusters are housed within the College of Engineering (Technology-Based Entrepreneurship and Social Entrepreneurship).At the university, first-year students who intend to major in engineering are given a designationof ENGR. They are not formally admitted into a specific engineering major until the end of theirsophomore year. Students can formally choose a minor after their formal major is selected.However, students can begin to take courses towards the minor prior to their major selection.ParticipantsIn

one of the best opportunities for eco-nomic development and growth. New technology ventures are typically led by the originalresearcher or group of researchers. However much recent academic development in technologyentrepreneurship has not focussed on the relatively linear and analytical protocol associated withthe commercialization of such research. Rather, most recent efforts, such as those in [3]–[7], havepresented relatively ad hoc approaches to introducing entrepreneurial concepts to engineers.Though these efforts address the fact that new technology ventures are most likely to be led byscientists and engineers and that these students require proper training, these academic programsdo not address the development of research-oriented
