Berkeley Method of Entrepreneurship (BMoE) is a holistic teaching and learning approachthat enables engineers to be more entrepreneurial. It encompasses three main elements:infrastructure, mindset and tactics. Infrastructure and tactics are covered in most entrepreneurialcurricula, whereas only few curricula explicitly include the mindset perspective. The BerkeleyMethod of Entrepreneurship is based on the hypothesis that the mindset of an entrepreneur canbe characterized by a set of behavioral patterns7 and that an inductive game-based teachingapproach is a successful vehicle for introducing and re-enforcing these. The game-basedteaching approach lets the students explore his/her current mindset and compare it with that ofsuccessful entrepreneurs

These factors in turn increase a manager’s entrepreneurial spirals. These spirals couldbe decreased when other elements become an influence. For example, a reminder that one isageing could lead to a decrease in entrepreneurial spirals due to the fact that age is correlatedwith risk-averse behavior (Shepherd, Holger, et.al. 2010).Carol Dweck (2006) discusses growth and fixed mindsets and their relation to a comfortzone.
