This on-line approach meansmany new developments and many more students will be prepared to be more effectiveentrepreneurs when they enter the workforce or start their own company.3: PHILOSOPHY OF DEVELOPING ENTREPRENEURIAL SKILLS3.1. Theoretical FrameworksDespite common misconceptions of entrepreneurship, it is a rigorous and highly valuedmanagement discipline that is inherently opportunity driven. There are many definitions andapproaches to conceptualizing entrepreneurship. For instance, Schumpeter argued thatentrepreneurs were daring spirits who “created technical and financial innovations in the face ofcompetition and falling profits - and that it was these spurts

great interest within academia is the ownership of student-generated intellectualproperty (IP), particularly in an era when entrepreneurship and innovation are being stressedacross academic disciplines. Students involved in engineering capstone design projects, businessplan courses and competitions, and research activities have immense potential to conceive andprototype product, process, system, and service concepts within the university classroom andlaboratory environment. Faculty members serving as mentors and liaisons to industry partnersgenerally facilitate the innovation process in the context of their employment as universityprofessionals. The research questions addressed in this project focus on who actually owns theintellectual property

teaching entrepreneurship will be briefly reviewed and analyzed usingthe six parameters. After that, we provide a summary that discusses the gaps that still remain inentrepreneurship education, and in particular, entrepreneurship education for engineering andtechnical students. Next, we propose an alternative that we call the “Business ProcessApproach”. This approach was developed at the University of Houston Center forEntrepreneurship & Innovation over 15 years ago, and has been used to educate thousands ofstudents both within the business school and in the College of Engineering there. In addition, theapproach is now also being used at Arizona State University’s Ira A. Fulton School ofEngineering and has been codified in a new textbook
