engineering students who are innovative and risk-takers and who think beyondtraditional engineering approaches. In fact, many institutions of higher education offer courses andprograms that are specifically designed with this goal in mind. While initially the main objectiveof entrepreneurship education was encouraging students to create new ventures, more recentlythere has been a shift in focus to a broader concept which emphasizes entrepreneurship as a wayof thinking and behaving [1]. A student with this mentality would not only be successful indeveloping startups and ventures but can also take the creativity and self-confidence to any otherjob in industry or academia.Developing an entrepreneurial mindset and building self-confidence can (and should

Consequently, the main teaching method adopted isstudio-based3,4 to combine hands-on experimenting with lecturing rather than the traditionalseparate lectures and lab sessions. The studio format increases interactivity between instructorand students in the classroom and engages students in active learning.

benefits of blendingentrepreneurial skills and tendencies with engineering are great. It has even been postulated thatengineers with an entrepreneurial inclination are the core drivers of economic growth in nations[1]. Many programs, both publicly and privately funded, have focused on entrepreneurship or theentrepreneurial mindset (EM) in engineering education. The National Science Foundation’s I-Corps program is one example on the public side, and the Kern Family Foundation’s KEENprogram (Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network) is an example on the private side.KEEN is a growing network of over 35 U.S.-based academic institutions with the shared missionof integrating the EM in their undergraduate engineering programs [2].

At the recent March 2-3, 2009 NAE Summit in Durham, North Carolina, several ofthese challenges were discussed, and the imperative of having strong math and scientificfoundations, a knowledge of business and entrepreneurship, an awareness of the globalenvironment, and soft-skills development in engineering education was made clear. However, inthe authors’ opinion, it has also become clear that out of the typical 4-year plan, the roughly 2 ½years worth of engineering courses are not sufficient to do justice to both the theory and thepractice of engineering, let alone all the

In 1984, he left USC for almost 20 years to be an entrepreneur. Most of his work was in manufacturing, both in Detroit and Japan. During that time, he worked on programming real-time systems using an Agent methodology, which he now teach in his CSCI 201 class. He returned to USC in 2002 to teach full time.
