The responses indicated that 88.57% of the students felthighly satisfied or satisfied with the influence of these aspects. The second question was, "Howsatisfied are you with the integration of entrepreneurship principles in enhancing yourunderstanding of sustainable building practices?" For this question, 57.14% of studentsreported being extremely satisfied or satisfied, and the remaining portion remained neutral. 5.

Factors that can be used toassess the “entrepreneurial-ness” of universities include: Formal factors: organizational andgovernance structure, support for entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship education; 2) Informalfactors: university community’s attitudes towards entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial teachingmethodologies, role models and reward systems; 3) Resources: human capital, financial,physical, and commercial; and 4) Capabilities: status and prestige, networks and alliances,localization (Guerrero &

Computer science and engineeringstudents are often taught through theory and computations. Concept maps provide a creative approach toteaching and assessment that connects current education to real world topics. The research team created amodule for three undergraduate computer science courses to build a concept map on how computerscientists and engineers create value. Eighty-six maps were evaluated using two methods
