Abstract

This article aims to present the Project Education and Entrepreneurial Attitude of a Brazilian University, the focus of the project is to stimulate education and entrepreneurial attitude, initially, of the students of the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM), aiming to develop a foundation for the creation of a University Entrepreneur (UE). The first stage of the research, called informal research, identified teachers who, in the students’ opinion, develop singular activities in the classroom. For the quantitative approach two validated questionnaires were applied. The results show actions carried out through the project. The project has already included more than 8 mil students, distributed in 116 UFSM undergraduate courses. To date, 19 Entrepreneurial Attitude courses have been created in courses not geared to the business world.
