As a result, todaythere must be more interaction between the developers of a new technology product and thecustomer. The scientist or engineer is therefore forced into active participation in such areas ascustomer negotiations, marketing and business planning, and manufacturing support. While theirneed for technical competence is not being reduced to support their primary task, their need forother non-technical knowledge is being increased by the many secondary roles that they arebeing asked to play.From the large industry perspective, the need for a broadened

The basis of thetheory, an ‘effectual logic’ is demonstrated through a set of heuristics that drive the behavior ofexperienced and successful entrepreneurs. In her initial proposal of effectuation, Sarasvathyidentified the theory as valuable content to be integrated into entrepreneurship education giventhat it is an explanation of entrepreneurial action grounded in the behavior of real entrepreneurs.Since the proposal to include effectuation in entrepreneurship education, there has been a growthin efforts to include effectuation through teaching and educational research.

Teaching chemistry to civil engineering students, specifically, is not as wellresearched. Kimmel and Lambert, 1973 used “practical examples” and open discussions ascentral components of a physical chemistry course for civil engineers [10]. For example, studentswere asked to analyze a real-life proposal of using steam from powerplants to heat homes in alocal community.
