TheEngineering Entrepreneurship Education Experience (E4) model brings entrepreneurship fromthe private sector into the undergraduate environment. It begins with the idea/concept process.At brainstorming sessions with private industry, faculty, and beginning capstone students, newideas for products and systems are identified for development. Student teams select ideas thathave strong industry support, and through two semesters of planning and implementationtransform them into fully functional prototypes. At the end of the second semester, the E4student teams deliver a combined technical/business/marketing presentation to invited privatesector and business development

These areskills that are not taught in most engineering curriculums prior to the capstone course(s). Ourobservations are consistent with the observations by other researchers who have studied thedesign process.

Recent events such as the Katrina flooding in New Orleans andthe earthquake relief efforts in Haiti have underscored the importance of local regions becomingself-sufficient (at least for a few days) and have highlighted the incredible costs of flying in largequantities of goods (e.g., bottled water) to a hard-hit region.Most communities, however, do have considerable local manufacturing capacity.
