Abstract

In response to society’s need for innovation and social impact, universities around the world have realized the importance and potential benefits of incorporating entrepreneurship education into their curricula. Entrepreneurship education requires a multi-disciplinary approach with a strong practicum component, involving industry partners. Technology entrepreneurship education requires strong collaboration with engineering education programs. This chapter discusses entrepreneurship education for undergraduate engineering students. Based on a systematic literature review, we identified various approaches to entrepreneurship and tradeoffs between forms of offerings, including major, minor, short courses, etc. Furthermore, we evaluated and compared the entrepreneurship education components at major institutions in the world. Since technology entrepreneurship is now a global means of sustainable development, the findings of this study may help design entrepreneurship education programs in developing countries at the undergraduate level, especially for engineering students.
