Abstract :
The recent changes in the world and engineering present both challenges and opportunities to the engineering education. Engineering education is changing to meet these challenges. More and more engineering programs strive to include entrepreneurship and innovation, traditionally American values, in the engineering curriculum. In this paper, we present our view on teaching entrepreneurship to future engineers and describe our experience in introducing entrepreneurship in engineering education through an NSF-sponsored pilot program based on collaboration between Stony Brook University and three other major higher education institutions on Long Island.
