Entrepreneurship in Engineering Education

Abstract

The idea to divide the curriculum for entrepreneurial education in modules, leads to the advantage that the programme consists of four modules and they can treated as separate subjects. Breaking away from the traditional teaching methods, the pedagogical tools get more and more interactive, self-learning and experimental. The didactic approach divides the content elements in three categories: (i) face-to-face instructions, (ii) independent learning and (iii) practical learning. The approach of active learning results in technicians, which are aware of the entrepreneurial spirit. They are fit to do all the economic and innovative engineering steps to evolve the product idea to a real, merchantable product. Through evaluation the success of the curriculum is verified and the basic element for quality assurance and further development.
