for engineers are becoming a trending topic.This paper explores the different ecosystems of entrepreneurship offered at faculties ofengineering across Canada. We explore two research questions in this paper: a) What is thegrowth, in demand and availability, of entrepreneurship courses in engineering schools, and b)What are the different components of an entrepreneurship ecosystem in engineering facultiestoday. The intent of this research is not to compare which program is better; rather, it is toexplores the different ways of how entrepreneurship is taught in engineering schools. Byproviding a systematic map of the current entrepreneurial landscape in engineering faculties, thisresearch can benefit professors and program directors who are

The evaluation surveys demonstrated the successof implementation of such module based on student satisfactions and learning outcomes for bothyears. In comparison, student satisfactions were improved in 2016 by refining the instructionalapproach. Student understandings of business plans, ability to seek resources, and confidence instarting business, were assessed as well. The results illustrated that the module had successfullyenhanced student interests and abilities in developing a basic understanding of entrepreneurialskills and mindset. The impact on student efficacy and motivation will be assessed further infuture studies. 1. Freeman, R. B. (2006). Does globalization of the scientific/engineering

Engineers are hired to create value for their employer, and if a studentonly knows how to follow a syllabus, then they will not be prepared to anticipate unknownopportunities to create value. Learning core engineering skills is the single most important part ofan engineering education, and by teaching an entrepreneurial mindset through programs thatreinforce these skills, we are better preparing the innovators of tomorrow.ReferencesBarrett, T.

Although these kinds of interventions definitely have aplace in curriculum planning, in our view, they provide either too little or too much direction forengineering educators. In line with this thinking, we have identified two analytical models (theCollingridge Dilemma and the VDI model of competing and dependent values in technologyassessment) and exemplars from a body of literature (social science research) that could beincluded in or otherwise inform engineering curriculum design.4.1 The
