The Enterprise Program At Michigan Technological University

I. Background Entrepreneurial education is gaining increased attention within the engineering education community in recent years resulting in the development of several new programs or options within existing programs. At Brown University, students apply to participate in a two semester course sequence, typically in their senior year, designed to introduce them to entrepreneurship though solving real-world problems [1]. Interested students must undergo a rigorous selection procedure, including completion of a written application and a formal interview. Student teams in this program are comprised of engineering as well as non-engineering disciplines.
