Entrepreneurship has seen a significant growth in recent years as a topic taught within engineering
curricula. This growth is due in part to technology continuing to drive innovation and the economy. Today’s engineers now need to be entrepreneurial in their thinking and actions to effectively contribute to the advancement of technological innovations. Engineering
entrepreneurship shares the same origins of the more traditional venture creation focused entrepreneurship, but also represents a new discipline influenced by the practices of engineering and education. Our understanding of what exactly defines engineering
entrepreneurship is still evolving because theory and research lags behind the significant growth of practice. Theoretical frameworks, research, and reviews of engineering entrepreneurship are needed to advance the understanding of this emerging discipline,
thus the timeliness of this special issue.
The special issue on
Engineering Entrepreneurship Education aims to publish learning innovations and research related to the integration of content intended to impact engineering students’ understanding of and experience with entrepreneurship. This special issue provides
a platform for publishing scholarly work that demonstrates progress made in key focus areas, including but not limited to engineering entrepreneurship theoretical frameworks, programs, curricula, interventions, competitions, other co-curricular experiences,
diversity equity and inclusion, and entrepreneurial ecosystems.
Manuscripts that will be considered for publication include:
-
Learning Innovations
(4,000 - 6,000 words) focus upon a particular modification made to the curriculum to assist with development of entrepreneurial characteristics.
The learning innovation should contain sufficient information that readers would be able to replicate the activity and it should also demonstrate its effectiveness at reaching its stated objectives.
-
Research Articles
(6,000 - 8,000 words) include qualitative, quantitative or mixed methods studies that focus upon engineering entrepreneurship education.
