intrapreneurial skills and activities within the context of Engineering, andthe Engineering discipline is still very much a focus. While TEKS standards and ABETstandards do not really conflict, they are different. Thus, it has become important to develop ashared language and understanding around what each program must accomplish. This has beenthe backbone of the collaborative activities that are planned for the future. Additionally, the university and the high school have begun to collaborate on project-based learning ideas. Here, too, there have been some tensions around how to create projects thatwould allow students to develop intrapreneurial competencies while also gaining and leveragingEngineering-specific knowledge while completing the

This initiative allows studentsfrom any major to participate in multidisciplinary project work aimed at cultivating aninnovative and entrepreneurial mindset. At the master's level, the University of Duisburg-Essen offers a Master of Arts in Innopreneurship, designed to equip students with the skillsneeded for self-employment or innovative roles within established companies [14].Whereas the focus of our writing up to now has been on the form of innovation

ventures where the entrepreneur takes on risk, comes up with abusiness plan, and attempts to meet a gap in an industry. Start-ups tend to be created with theplan for them to grow very quickly, solve a problem with an innovative solution, and meet theneeds of a wide market [5]. The initial group of people that create a start-up are called a productteam. A product team at a start-up, made up of around three to fifteen people, tends to be madeup of at least a product manager, a product designer, and a few engineers [5]. This group isneeded to begin a start-up, figure out the design of the product, build the product, test theproduct, improve the product, and work to understand if the product is meeting customer needs.Jing [5] points out that, though

If a specific set of resources is provided to the professors to help in theirunderstanding of the research, they are in turn equipped for the execution of relaying instructions.Asking students to reflect about how their profession creates value allows them to explore importantaspects of the entrepreneurial mindset.
