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.
