Abstract
This chapter demonstrates how an entrepreneurship course can be enriched by incorporating industry-standard tools and software. In a yearlong case study, we ran multiple sections of an entrepreneurship course in which students learned and applied industry-standard tools and software. During and after the course, we collected feedback and analyzed their learning experiences, summarizing the lessons learned, best practices, and challenges.
