considers whether entrepreneurshipcan be learned and the specific skills and traits that are associated with successfulentrepreneurship. It examines the activities of entrepreneurship centers and otherprograms for engineering students and concludes that there are a lot of resourcesavailable to develop an entrepreneurial mindset. The problems are that we need to reachfar more students, continually learn more about what works to make them effectiveentrepreneurs and innovators and develop more champions within the engineeringfaculties to get our students what they will need.The importance of entrepreneurial thinking for engineersThe National Academy of Engineering has pointed out that engineers will need to bemuch more entrepreneurial in the 21st

Additionally, the dynamism in finance created by its challenging problems andthe availability of sophisticated algorithms and cheap computing power has attractedprofessionals from computer science, engineering, physics, and mathematics resulting in thegrowth of many vibrant interdisciplinary fields involving finance. In spring 2005, we developedan entrepreneurial financial computing course with the objective that individual student teamswould design and develop a commercially viable financial software product to satisfy a marketneed. Five purposefully and two adhocly designed E-teams were formed with students majoringin computer science, finance, mathematics, and management science. Each E-team worked on adifferent project.
