Currently, two subtopics of engineering education come more and more into focus:Creativity1 and Entrepreneurship 2,3: • creativity in order to strengthen engineers’ abilities to generate ideas, to find optimal solutions for complex problems, and to invent new processes and products • entrepreneurship in order to transform these processes and products into business models, and finally into innovationOnly if creative ideas become innovations, they are able to unfold impact and start to be useful.Engineers need entrepreneurship skills, and thus, entrepreneurship education for engineeringstudents has become more and more important in

For example, the current higher educationpedagogy will require taking a closer look at the unique assets of colleges and universities in orderto align curricula and institutional programs with industry needs. Engineering entrepreneurshipeducation should focus on teaching young adults, at earlier ages, about innovation and theassociated challenges. Some of these challenges include sustainability, access, safety, and lack ofawareness. The paper will discuss the challenges, ideas, long-term approaches as well as generalinsights on how institutions can integrate core entrepreneurship values into the academiccurriculum. 1IntroductionThe core
