Entrepreneurs” or “Intrapreneurs.” According to Morris et al., “CorporateEntrepreneurship” is a term used to describe entrepreneurial behavior inside established mid-sized and large organizations2. The term “Intrapreneur” was first introduced by Pinchot in 1985as any dreamers who take hands-on responsibility for creating innovation of any kind within anorganization3. The entrepreneurial mind creates inventive solutions to complex problems. It alsorecognizes the importance of identifying entrepreneurial opportunities.Lawrence Tech has a strong commitment of fostering the entrepreneurial mindset.

with a generalrelaxation in traditional gender-role attitudes as well as changes in public perceptions of whatleadership entails. Yet in contexts still defined in the public mind as requiring masculinequalities, women face tough barriers that stem from the difficulty of simultaneously transcendingand accommodating to gender stereotypes. It is critical to understand some of these barriers inorder to help women break them down and be determined enough to work their way throughthem. This paper shares some the stories of some brave young engineering women who aredoing just that.Catalyst Research1 reports that there are 51.4% of U.S. women in management, professional andrelated occupations today in Fortune 500 businesses.

Spatial skills, and in particular the ability to rotateimages in one’s mind, are especially important for technical fields such as engineering (Maier,1994)2. Studies have shown that spatial visualization skills are a factor in the success ofengineering students. Gimmestad (1989)3 found that students’ spatial visualization skills were astronger predictor of success in an engineering design course than math ACT scores orexperience in a high school shop or drafting class.
