Importantly, the U.S. is the only nation among the G7 to register a TEA score in the topten.Today, nearly 50 percent of the growth in the U.S. economy can be attributed to entrepreneurialactivity; much of this activity is in the technology sector. Since success in a technology venturerequires both technical feasibility and economic viability an engineering curriculum thatintegrates both aspects is of considerable value.2 Of the over 200 thousand graduates of collegeengineering and science programs each year in the U.S., a growing proportion seek employmentin entrepreneurial ventures or are starting their own ventures. This trend among engineering andscience graduates requires “a new type of engineer, an entrepreneurial engineer, who needs abroad
