Both programs are widely recognized as effective training camps that “preparescientists and engineers to extend their focus beyond the university laboratory” andcommercialize new technology faster [7]. These programs are primarily intended for graduatestudents and start-up business leaders, yet there is a need to engage students in entrepreneurialactivities sooner in their education [8].
