In this new paradigm, the significance ofunderstanding of non-technical human-based factors and principles of business acumen areintegrated into classic technical engineering courses. The ultimate goal of this re-engineeredpedagogy is to prepare the students to be influential team players and entrepreneurial engineerswith great communication skills.There are several studies in the literature that investigate the impact of the entrepreneurshiptraining on engineering and science students.

paragraphs provide a brief introduction of the term ‘threshold concepts’, and apreliminary literature review of the research conducted on threshold concepts in science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines.According to Meyer and Land [1] a threshold concept is something a learner cannot progresswithout. Baillie et al. [2] detail eight characteristics of threshold concepts: Liminality (the journey of crossing the threshold), Transformation (an epistemic shift), Integration (the sense of something “clicking together”), Reconstruction (an ontological shift), Irreversibility (the understanding of concepts cannot be undone), Boundedness (each concept explains a specific sub-domain of a discipline), Troublesomeness (concepts
