AB  -      Stimulating and Supporting Change in Entrepreneurship Education:                 Lessons from Institutions on the Front LinesABSTRACTThis paper will describe a national program that supports faculty and institutions in their work tointroduce and embed entrepreneurship and innovation learning into formal and informaleducational experiences for undergraduate engineering students using a team-based guidedchange process. The XXXX program was launched in 2013 with an initial cohort of twelveschools; informed by research into effective practices in faculty development and institutionalchange, each school’s effort is led by a team (Beach, 2012) while the teams themselves are inturn gathered into a national network (Dempster, 2012). Strategies used by the participatingschools included introduction of new courses and programs, development of learning spaces,faculty development activities, and collaboration with other disciplines. The schools variedwidely in their institutional profile with regard to size, student demographics, governance, initialbreadth of entrepreneurship education opportunities for engineering students, and availability ofoff-campus entrepreneurship opportunities in the surrounding region. Despite these differences, anumber of factors were identified over the course of the program year that were associated withsuccess in making entrepreneurship education more available and accessible for undergraduateengineering students.The paper will:   1. Briefly describe the theory, structure and components of the program including the      underlying theory of change and its grounding in research of effective models of faculty      development and change in higher education.   2. Summarize the findings of the evaluation of the program’s first year; the evaluation effort      in this period was primarily qualitative in nature, with additional baseline quantitative      data collected for future comparison in 2015 and 2016.   3. Describe in detail the primary “lessons learned” to date; five specific factors were      associated with program success at the institutional level:           a. adaptation of program principles to individual institutional contexts;           b. the critical role of the leader of change within the institution;           c. the role of an active “community of practice” across institutions in supporting               change;           d. the profile of individual institutions efforts which have demonstrated success;           e. the function of “trailblazer” schools in providing models and mentors on               innovation and entrepreneurship in engineering education.   4. Discuss the implications of these factors for program adaptation in expansion of the      initiative, as well as for broader discussion within the engineering education community      about the implementation of innovation and entrepreneurship in learning experiences.
