AB  - The Framework for Entrepreneurial Engineering (FEE)Leaders in industry and government call today for the development of entrepreneurialbehavior and skills in engineers. Defining the critical characteristics of anentrepreneurial engineer in the different stages of the entrepreneurial process was thegoal of a team of 10 engineers, entrepreneurs and engineering faculty who participatedin a two discussions of how successful entrepreneurial engineers behave during theentrepreneurial process. The first discussion was held in October 2012 at the first NSFsponsored Epicenter retreat. The second discussion was sponsored by the NCIIA andwas held for two days in Atlanta, Georgia in June 2013 following the annual ASEEmeeting,The research question discussed at those two meetings was:       What are the most important characteristics (knowledge, skills or attributes) of an       entrepreneurial engineer in discovering, developing and implementing an       improvement-in or a new or novel product, process or concept?The purpose of this paper is to document and share the processes used and theresulting definitions and identification of entrepreneurial engineering characteristicsstemming from those two discussions.Consensus definitions developed by the conclusion of the Atlanta meeting include:    Stages of                  There are three stages of entrepreneurial    entrepreneurial            engineering: discover, develop and    engineering                deploy/sustain.    Discover                   Identify a significant need or opportunity that                               engineering tools, processes or concepts can                               address.    Develop                    Define and generate/establish an economically                               viable product, process or system that                               addresses the discovered need.    Deploy and Sustain         Launch and stabilize a scalable and sustainable                               solution to the developed need.Additional consensus definitions include:           Knowledge                  What you understand           Skills                     What you can do           Attributes                 What you bring or how you need to act           Entrepreneurial            The design, development and           Engineering                implementation of a sustainable solution                                      that creates value.Critical characteristics identified for the stages of entrepreneurial engineering were:                       Discover                Develop                Deploy and SustainKnowledge                       Domain knowledge        Technical              Business acumen                                               knowledge                                               Business acumenSkills                       Recognizes              Market focused         Human resource                       opportunities                                  manager                       Idea generator          Alternatives seeker    Engages                                                                      stakeholders                       Keen observer           Engages                Team manager                                               stakeholders                       Recognizes value                               Strategic thinkerAttributes                       Empathy                 User centered          Adaptable                       Curiosity               Failure tolerant       Tenacious                       Dissatisfied with       Persistent             Organized                       status quo                       Flexible                AdaptableInsights into the critical characteristics of an entrepreneurial engineer will aid studentand practicing engineers as well as engineering faculty in self-reflection, instruction andteam management.
