Due to the smallsample sizes, none of the above tendencies were found to be significantly different.3.

Entrepreneurshipwas a prerequisite to the Engineering Service Learning course, required of first semester juniors.In the original curriculum design, students in Engineering Entrepreneurship were tasked withproviding an entrepreneurial solution for a predetermined client. The course instructors weretakes with identifying an acceptable community partner for the class. The project was thencarried into Engineering Service Learning in the following academic year. Engineering Servicelearning was designed to assist the students with the design, testing and implementation stages ofthe engineering design process.BackgroundThe FGCU mission statement includes statements regarding “valuing public service”,“encouraging civic responsibility” and a requirement of community

Tenquestions examined the students understanding of the various topics presented in the class andthree questions asked the students to summarize what they learned, what recommendation theyhad for changes in the course, and how the course had changed their personal perception aboutInnovation and Entrepreneurship. Overall the students showed that they had grasped the mainconcepts presented. By examining the questions that they missed, we were however, able toidentify a few topics where they did not do as well as we hoped.

The responses were coded into general categories and the categories werecompared across groups. Student responses were also analyzed based on several otherdemographic variables including gender, relationship to entrepreneurial parents, priorentrepreneurial experiences, and major.

The teams’ request for proposal projects’ presentations were evaluated by a panel of professors while the written proposal was evaluated by the class instructor on the bases of creativity as well as communication skills. The project presentation and written report had equal weight in the students’ grades, which also included in-class and final examinations.

In most survey type courses; i.e. courses that cover a large amount ofdiverse material, the topic do not require significant background. In comprehensiveentrepreneurship courses, the amount of material that would be prerequisite is far too vastfor a typical engineering student to have time to master and yet, the demand forunderstanding entrepreneurship is great.Obviously, some of the issues do occur in other courses, but they are exacerbated by thenature of entrepreneurship.

The second approach is centered on the general concept that all students can learn andto some extent, be creative and entrepreneurial.

Students felt that the assignments were carefully chosen(Question 18) and that grading criteria were articulated clearly (Question 14). Students alsocomplained that some of the classes were redundant with other courses in the program (Question12) and some were unhappy with the format of the final project (the choice of an SBIR proposalwas not, in retrospect, the best choice for non-US citizens).Another challenge to this course is that not all students have the same level of experience withentrepreneurship. While all students hold an engineering background not all have experiencewith business concepts, much less entrepreneurship. This course is
