Students who have completedthe program have been the most effective advocates for the program. This “word of mouth”marketing has resulted in 60 students in pursuit of the certificate and another 20 who areparticipating in some part of the program. The director’s work has been centered on signing upand guiding the students successfully through the program. The students then recommend theprogram to others. There have been 27 certificate graduates to date.The Components of The MSU Engineering Entrepreneurship ProgramThe CourseworkAs a joint effort with the school of business, a considerable portion of the program’s courseworkis taught

On the other hand adiscussion about the educational system started. Already in 1964 Georg Picht published “DieDeutsche Bildungskatastrophe”5 (The German Educational Catastrophe). It describes andcriticizes (1) the relative low share of state budget spent for general and academic education, (2)the low number of high school graduates and (3) the inferior chances of children from rural orworking class families to get access to higher education. The discussions led to a number ofreforms in the German educational system. Especially a practical and industry

However, in order to achieve the desiredoutcomes of the new course, innovative teaching strategies needed to be implemented within thecontext of a more “real world” experience. In addition, a pedagogy that enhances theentrepreneurial mindset and is designed for maximum student engagement and retention wasdesired.

To provide a balance between active learning and increased flexibility,courses were divided into skills oriented classes and courses with a significant activelearning component. Skills classes make extensive use of a multi-media approach andindependent study options. For courses requiring extensive use of active learningcomponents, an inverted classroom approach is used to provide more extensive deliveryof content outside of the regular class time.
