Both of theseprograms provide a blend of entrepreneurship, business, and engineering. Since our institution isa small four-year college with an undergraduate focus, providing the level of experience studentsat these schools get is impossible.

It is a challenge, therefore, to gain theinvolvement of students in social entrepreneurship efforts where the reward (grade, payor recognition) is not immediate or minimal and the trade-off (time management for theirschedule) may be more fun or financially rewarding.

The limitation of the EAO model is that it does not include risk perception andopportunity recognition, two other well recognized characteristics of entrepreneurs. Theadvantage is that it is a validated instrument with sound theoretical underpinning and that it takesa multi-factor approach with four subscales.Method Our inquiry seeks to determine whether the students become more entrepreneurial aftertaking these classes.
