planning to form their own company. Fifty-two percent, of them, were studentsstudying engineering and technology, where problem based education fosters critical, creative,and innovative thinking. At that point, Wentworth did not offer support for these studentsinterested in forming their own companies. However, entrepreneurship is a mindset not onlyapplicable to those launching their own companies, but relevant for anyone seeking to reinvent,improve and advance in any organization. We realized these are qualities applicable to all of ourstudents. At Wentworth, education centers on interdisciplinary, experiential, and project-basedlearning. While these are an integral part of Wentworth’s curricula, an extended and moredisruptive approach was

success of the program. In Section 4, we summarize the results of assessments ofthe program; we also highlight some of the specific successes, in the form of IT enterprises thatNEWPATH students have launched. In Section 5, we briefly consider some other programs inengineering entrepreneurship and compare them to NEWPATH. We then conclude with a briefsummary of the lessons learned and our future plans.2. Models of Entrepreneurial LearningA number of authors 10,11,12 have investigated some major problems that new enterprises typicallyencounter and the tasks that entrepreneurs must be effective at in order to address those problems.The latter include the ability to conduct market analysis, see the potential of new products andservices, make

What motivates students and the way they begintheir projects or start-ups are considered during the opening phases of each class, duringclassroom dynamics and during the introduction of an entrepreneuring story. Stories areexamined and informed by previous work. Storytelling is defined and measured by fourconcepts: self-motivated, ambiguity readiness level, passionate social connections, and empathy.A series of planned prompts alongside classroom work geared towards student

Inaddition, the instructor should also provide the students with a detailed plan and the path tracedfor attaining these goals. Such a structure will prepare the students to admire and handle thecourse with great enthusiasm and creative productivity.DESIGN: Secondly, the instructor should design learning modules that can generateinterest and motivate the student body towards becoming metacognitive learners. In otherwords, one should be able manage one’s own learning. Any selected module should build on theprevious module, thereby creating and supporting a value-added mechanism.

The skills associated with theentrepreneurial mindset are communication, teamwork, leadership, ethics and ethical decision-making, opportunity recognition, persistence, creativity, innovation, tolerance for ambiguity, riskanalysis, creative problem solving, critical thinking, and business skills (including marketing,financial analysis, and strategic planning).1, 2, 3

, such as research, education and business support. In addition to the process-centricprograms that are not conducive to business owners as day-to-day decision makers, there is alimitation of the availability of time and money to gain support and then innovate accordinglyin a planned and systematic fashion. Often than not, innovation came through as an adhocand experimental approach lacking in assurance of success but lacerated with zeal andpassion for the new products and improved processes one envisioned in one’s sleep. Oftenthan not, the source of finance for the experimentation and innovation is the “credit card”, inthe hope that the new product line will sell. Time constraint is a significant barrier to SMEsinnovating. Literature suggests

willing to share their time and knowledge. The quality of their“lectures” was outstanding. We held several meetings with the guests to plan out their “lectures”.These meetings led to broader discussions about innovation and formed closer interdisciplinaryrelationships. The faculty then recognized that we have more in common then we had beforerealized. These relationships have led to other collaborations with guest lectures occurring in anumber of different courses. For example, one of us has given a guest lecture on kinematics andmechanisms to the sculpture class assigned to create mechanistic art. And Joe Meiser, professorin studio art, is team teaching a class for the MIDE program. Additionally, we have faculty nowworking together on

The case study incorporated 12 engineering concepts drawn from the undergraduate engineering course text20 and 10 entrepreneurial concepts selected from a popular graduate-level textbook on entrepreneurship21.

often,"Elevator in El Cortez Hotel in San DieIt was the janitor's idea. The famous El Cortez Hotel in San Diego provides an excellent exampleof the advantage of listening intently to employees at every level. The hotel management decidedto install an additional elevator to better serve their guests. Engineers drew up plans cuttingholes through each floor of the hotel. A janitor, who was concerned with this, made the commentthat this would make a great deal of mess. The janitor was told not to worry because the hotelwould be closed to guests during the construction. The janitor suggested, "You could build theelevator on the outside of the hotel." At the time, this architectural concept had never been donebefore, but after investigation by the
