The Civil and Mechanical Engineering departments of the School of Computing and Engineering (SCE) at the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) propose to become national leaders in the integration of entrepreneurship concepts and entrepreneurship service learning components throughout their undergraduate curricula. This grant will assist with planning for : (1) fundamentally changing the way certain undergraduate courses are taught in the Civil and Mechanical Engineering curricula, and (2) establishing entrepreneurship and service learning as a key feature for developing competitive and productive Civil and Mechanical Engineering graduates. Significant collaboration is being obtained from team members belonging to the Henry W. Bloch School of Business and Public Administration, and the Department of Psychology.The proposal seeks to increase the relevance of undergraduate education to an ever increasing need for technical competence in the business world. This project could influence other disciplines (medicine, law, etc.) into adopting some of the deliverables provided by this research. The proposed project effort could have broad impact on those programs interested in emulating the UMKC model. This integration plan has the potential for increasing the retention of students in the engineering degree programs.

密苏里大学堪萨斯城分校（UMKC）计算机与工程学院（SCE）的土木和机械工程系建议在其本科课程中整合创业概念和创业服务学习组件，成为全国领导者。该补助金将协助规划：（1）从根本上改变某些本科课程在土木和机械工程课程中的教学方式，以及（2）将创业和服务学习作为培养具有竞争力和生产力的土木和机械工程毕业生的关键特征。重要的合作正在从属于亨利W的团队成员那里获得。该提案旨在提高本科教育的相关性，以满足商业世界对技术能力日益增长的需求。该项目可能会影响其他学科（医学，法律等）。采纳这项研究提供的一些成果。 拟议的项目工作可能会对那些有兴趣模仿UMKC模型的计划产生广泛的影响。这个整合计划有可能增加学生在工程学位课程的保留。
