As Kuratko (2005) explains, “the characteristicsof seeking opportunities, taking risks beyond security, and having the tenacity to push an ideathrough to reality combine into a special perspective that permeates entrepreneurs” (p. 578).This paradigm shift in the conceptualization of entrepreneurship from an innate characteristic to adevelopable skillset, has led to the creation of several entrepreneurship education programs inmultiple institutions to impart entrepreneurial knowledge, instill entrepreneurial skills, anddevelop entrepreneurial mindset in

Regardless of definition, much focus is being directed toward instilling an entrepreneurialmindset in engineering students (Taks et al., 2014, Byers et al., 2013, Bodnar et al., 2015, Rogy et al.,2014, Schar et al., 2014). Companies require innovative thought, personal initiative, and market aware-ness from the incoming workforce to stay competitive (Litzinger et al., 2011).
