These businessesstarted by TEAM alumni will have a positive economic impact and will provide additional jobsfor the local workforce. The University of Rochester will develop new external partners as aresult of businesses and organizations working with TEAM students during their practicum,internship, or in class presentations. In addition, the University believes that the need foradditional professors specializing in entrepreneurship will increase. Finally, other schools at theUniversity of Rochester (i.e

Third, while students are currently trained and encouragedto explore the entrepreneurial aspects and cultural context of their global health tech projects,these aspects often receive less emphasis. The current generation of engineering students areeager to tackle global challenges and positively impact patients’ lives. Therefore, our objectivewas to create a new, experiential course in global health innovation and entrepreneurship wherestudents from various educational levels and schools, specifically the Schools of Engineering(SEAS) and Public Health (PH), will

Specifically,the qualitative questions posed to students included: “How do you perceive the importance ofintegrating entrepreneurial skills into ET education?” and “In what ways do you think thisintegration could impact your future career?” This method of data collection was designed tocapture a wide range of student experiences and perspectives, laying the groundwork for a richqualitative analysis. 3.5 Data AnalysisTo interpret the collected data, a two-phase thematic analysis was used, chosen for its flexibilityand effectiveness in identifying, analyzing, and reporting patterns (themes) within

, content delivery, anddistributed education (or distance learning).Administrative challenges deal with the lack of institutional and/or community support fordeveloping entrepreneurship education programs and the lack of resources available (includingtime) to assist in program development and management.a. Teaching backgroundWe found that over half (52%) of the survey population taught students within the businessschool environment. The remainder of the respondents (48%) taught classes within the school ofengineering or school of science. Within the business schools, professors were often workingfrom an established entrepreneurship curriculum and were interested in expanding the studentpopulation to include engineers and scientists. In most cases
figured out that the project was not centeredon making money, but making people’s lives better. It was in this light that I found a new way toview social entrepreneurship. In the entrepreneurship classes that I have taken, many of thesocial views were from those that had started their own small businesses in third world countriesand did not often discuss examples of outside entrepreneurs coming into these countries andmaking a large impact. Not to say I had not heard of examples of this happening, the book ThreeCups of Tea is a great example
Education, 2014Engineering Virtual Studio: KEEN Modules to Foster Entrepreneurial Mindset in an Integrative, First/Second Year Online Course1. AbstractEngineering is a field that interacts with its surroundings by applying science to practicalproblems. In developing future engineers, teaching the technical fundamentals is only part of thetask; engineering programs must also develop engineers that are able to apply those skills intothe real world. Example problems are sometimes shown in classes, but lack the interactivitynecessary to instill the skill in students. Introducing students to entrepreneurship directlypromotes creativity and marketplace connection while indirectly instilling connection to realworld problems and promoting scholarly and

However, noneseem to be as focused on entrepreneurially oriented, active learning elements as Adventures inEntrepreneurship.Why Entrepreneurship? Interestingly, entrepreneurship was not originally considered as a major component ofAdventures in Entrepreneurship. Nevertheless, introductory entrepreneurship classes emphasizethe application of skills from most if not all of the core disciplines to the development of abusiness plan. Hence, the standard pedagogical model in entrepreneurship is built on anintegrated, cross-functional platform. An understanding of this model led the faculty team toembrace entrepreneurship as the primary

In its most simpleform, it can be used as a large homework assignment, where student teams build a visual aidillustrating a class concept, use it to teach someone outside the team, then write about what theyhave learned from the process. This simple version was successfully implemented in foursemesters of a statics class with over fifty students and in a one-credit Introduction to AerospaceEngineering class with over 125 first-year students.
