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). Entrepreneurship programs and centersalso assist students in taking their projects and ideas beyond the scope of the classroom throughaccelerator programs that help students start businesses or with commercialization.

Lean Startup is influenced by Agile’s incremental approach and benefits from frequent(business hypothesis) tests and corrections. Short iterations of gathering feedback fromcustomers helps mitigate risk by reducing the waste associated with dedicating time andresources to false hypotheses. Consequently, we introduced the Tech Startup model: an approach to teaching SoftwareEngineering and Entrepreneurship courses in coordination, where students collaborate to createreal technology startup businesses (tech startups) [9][10]. The model incorporates experientiallearning of Agile software development practices while software engineering students

Innovation is in the function creative thinking needed to accomplish a task you do not already know how to accomplish. This process is marked by quickly identifying potential solutions, building and testing them, and modifying solutions until an adequate solution is found (e.g., trial-and-error, barnyard engineering, etc.). 2 – Redesign and Innovation is redesigning something to benefit a group of stakeholders.
