The first three steps are essential to get to a business plan with the necessary conditionsto be able to get to an offer sheet from an angel investor. These are documented in the right handcolumn of step four in Figure 1. The left hand column offers an improved list of relationshipfactors based upon our current research. These relationship factors are now taking on equalimportance to the right hand column.

The presenters first focused on thenotion that many of the activities faculty already do on a daily basis correspond to equivalentactivities of entrepreneurs (e.g. grants proposals à business plans).

Observation of a need or difficulty. 2. Analysis of the need. 3. A survey of all available information. 4. A formulation of all objective solutions. 5. A critical analysis of these solutions. 6. The birth of a new idea. 7. Experimentation to test and refine the most promising solution.As previously mentioned, the first step in the inventive process is ‘observation of a need ordifficulty’ followed by ‘analysis of the need’. These steps could also be referred to as ‘marketneeds assessment’ or ‘opportunity focuses’ in standard business plan terms. 12

TPB was ini-tially introduced by Ajzen [15] in 1991 and has been supported with empirical evidence since then.The theory says planned behaviors, such as starting a new venture, are intentional and thereforebest predicted by intentions towards the behavior, not by demographics, personality, beliefs, or atti-tudes [15]. TPB is also an important cognitive process model for the evaluation of EntrepreneurialIntention as the model describes the complexity of the relationship between human behavior andrelevant

It is unclear exactly whatenables the second semester classes to have higher averages than the first semester courses, sinceall three courses have different subject matter, different styles of projects and different sets ofinstructors. But an upward trend of better teamwork satisfaction is hopeful. Moving forwardwe want to try to isolate a few of the sections of ED1 and ED2 and let students choose teamswith no restrictions and compare to the other sections. A pilot study in Fall 2019 to Spring 2020has been planned. Other plans include looking at the effect gender has on teaming as this yearwe used CATME team maker to ensure woman and underrepresented minorities are notoutnumbered on project

This emphasized thatresearchers may utilize a wide spectrum of lenses to study different aspects of EEPs due to theinterdisciplinary nature of entrepreneurship education and the nascent state of research in thefield. Furthermore, this reiterates the need to consider the key theories when researching EEPs,specifically student participation for our case. To identify the key theories, the documentedtheories were assessed for their level of use based on the number of times they were cited in the359 articles. Theories that were cited in at least 10 articles were shortlisted, yielding a total ofseven key theories – 1) Theory of Planned Behavior [32], 2) Theory of Reasoned Action

, scaling-up from a pilot processto a full-sized product plant is not a linear scaling as many processes, transformations, flow,chemical reactions and heat transfer are not together linearly scalable. That is: scale-up is(usually) possible but requires careful planning and “watching the dials and turning the knobs”on the first series of runs. Our first class sequence is a bench design, our second class sequenceis a small pilot and third year will be a full pilot plant with subsequent years scaling to fullproduction. Even then, we will have start-up issues and fine tuning to deal with as we continueto iteratively improve – watching the dials and turning the knobs as necessary.By using the “pilot approach,” and managing the specific changes made to

Competency-Based Education“Competency-based education (CBE) is an outcome-based, student-centered form ofinstruction whereby students progress to more advanced work upon mastering the necessaryprerequisite content and skills [11].” Although CBE is not new, it has increasingly beenreceiving much attention as a method for reaching a more diverse and inclusive studentpopulation. Scholtz and colleagues [12] shared results from an intervention conducted in aninformation systems degree program which incorporated competencies based on enterpriseresource planning (ERP) systems. They found that students perceived satisfaction with thehands-on approach and there was an increase in student self-efficacy related to ERP systemsand concepts. Mojab et al [13
