  • Abstract
    Integrating entrepreneurship education and activities in computing curricula can have a significant effect on the creativity, innovativeness, leadership and entrepreneurial intentions of computing undergraduates. The paper examines the current status of professional computing education for undergraduate majors in regional universities of China. We describe our modus operandi in integrating entrepreneurial education in our discipline-related education by carrying out "entrepreneurship education" program and the teaching effect on our students, and we also discuss some exiting problems in developing computing entrepreneurship education at China\´s universities. Results from our first 3 years indicate the program is effective for increasing students\´ interest in entrepreneurial intentions, which enable students to be more proactive in improving their overall quality and tapping their entrepreneurial potential.
