Supplementing Engineering Education With Business Training, Andres C. Salazar Jan 2003

Supplementing Engineering Education With Business Training, Andres C. Salazar

Teaching Entrepreneurship to Engineering Students

A typical engineering curriculum often leaves little time in a four-year program for a budding engineer to learn about the business aspects of the company he may join soon after graduation. The outcome of little business knowledge in the commercial application of technology by engineering graduates is a lack of understanding of the importance of their contribution to the company’s bottom line. For those engineers who value business knowledge for their future profession, the alternatives for business training have been to take regular MBA courses when possible or settle for short certificate programs in a business school. In this paper …

Entrepreneurial Contexts And Traits Of Entrepreneurs, William R. Pendergast Jan 2003

Entrepreneurial Contexts And Traits Of Entrepreneurs, William R. Pendergast

Teaching Entrepreneurship to Engineering Students

This paper adopts a neo-Darwinian perspective that the entrepreneurial process includes distinctive features that “select” individuals with certain characteristics for participation and success. These individuals are attracted to entrepreneurial situations and their compatible traits enable them to navigate the challenges of entrepreneurial contexts. Furthermore, entrepreneurial environments may reinforce these traits in entrepreneurs, which develop over time in response to the requirements of entrepreneurial activity (Littunen, 2000). The paper begins with a description of early-stage entrepreneurial contexts, considers individual traits that accommodate those contexts, and concludes with a metaphor of entrepreneurs as jazz musicians that captures similarities in context and behavior.
