These case studies areintended to illustrate how entrepreneurs have capitalized on their knowledge of specificengineering topics. The aim is to provide routine exposures to successful engineeringentrepreneurs and principles of entrepreneurship throughout the curriculum. The ideal, long-termvision is that each engineering course would have one or more corresponding case studies. Thispaper will summarize the three cases which have been
