Both of theseprograms provide a blend of entrepreneurship, business, and engineering. Since our institution isa small four-year college with an undergraduate focus, providing the level of experience studentsat these schools get is impossible. We tried, however, to distill some elements into a three-hour,semester-long class.

It is a challenge, therefore, to gain theinvolvement of students in social entrepreneurship efforts where the reward (grade, payor recognition) is not immediate or minimal and the trade-off (time management for theirschedule) may be more fun or financially rewarding.

education sector has made several efforts to expand entrepreneurship trainingto include students and practitioners in non-business fields. For instance, at Texas A & MUniversity, the Engineering Technology and Industrial Distribution Department offerscourses on entrepreneurship, marketing, product design and development. Equally, theBiomedical Engineering Department has an elective entrepreneurship course. In addition,for the last 15 years, the University of Nevada, Reno, has been teaching entrepreneurshipto electrical engineering students through a special capstone class. At the same time, in1998, the university expanded the program to incorporate senior students and MBAstudents from the institution’s Department of Mechanical Engineering and
