to the need for some entrepreneurship education, the discussion will shift to questionsof how, when and where. The simplest mechanism is to include classes on entrepreneurship intothe core curriculum. A quick web search reveals that some schools have been effective in Page 13.1360.2integrating entrepreneurship into their core curriculums. Unfortunately, the authors' first-handexperience (UDM is currently in the process of redefining its core curriculum) is thatEntrepreneurship will not be part of the core curriculum at UDM in the foreseeable future.Furthermore, technology and engineering curricula are so overloaded that adding extra content

SchedulingA second challenge we underestimated when organizing an LLC is the complexity of coursescheduling. For the entrepreneurship LLC, a three course series was developed. Since ourinstitution follows a quarter system, all three courses were intended to be taken the first year.However, we quickly learned that scheduling conflicts required a more flexible system wherebysome students are allowed to drop back one cohort and take a class in their sophomore year.When launching the LLC, only one new course was developed, an Introduction toEntrepreneurship. The remaining two courses, Rhetoric & Composition and Introduction toDesign, were revamped existing courses to include an entrepreneurial focus. For example, in thecomposition class students can

Given the experimental nature of this first offering and the limited timefor advertising its existence, it was anticipated that enrollment would likely consist of 15 to 20students. However, a total enrollment of 40 students was achieved among 6 different majors.The formal meeting time for the class consisted of a single weekly 3-hour block, which wastypically split

Pedagogical approaches include case studies,class discussions and guest speakers. The program has resulted in the growth oftechnology enterprises in the central Florida region.A more traditional approach is taken at The University of Colorado at Boulder, whichoffers a one-semester design course which includes an emphasis on product developmentand entrepreneurship.4 Students work on teams that design, build, and test a new product,including manufacturing costs, profitability forecasts, and raising capital.

The rapid form of communication gave the students practice in explaining their ideas in a clear and effective manner.  Design thinking: Students were introduced to Stanford's Design Thinking methodology. In this exercise, students learned about failing fast, fast prototyping and the importance of getting customer feedback. These Entrepreneurship practices offered students ways to look into the inherent value ofSTEM learning and provided them the opportunity to develop
