Description
Summary:The number of students who wish to learn about entrepreneurship and actively engage in entrepreneurial activities - either by creating their own companies or by spurring innovation within a large organization - has grown greatly in recent years.

However the expanding number of teaching programs fail to address the particular challenges and opportunities for starting up viable businesses based on science and engineering.
