This project is developing interdisciplinary educational content for an undergraduate course in entrepreneurship for engineers. By becoming familiar with the fundamentals of entrepreneurship, students are better able to design engineering solutions that address customers' needs in an increasingly global marketplace. The project is developing two case studies along with the associated teaching notes and instructional material. It also is developing material to support a mini-conference for students that fosters creativity and encourages them to conceptualize new or improved products or services that might be commercialized. Finally, they are developing assessment rubrics to evaluate the project outcomes and these tools and the resulting data are contributing to the existing body of knowledge and research in teaching entrepreneurship to engineers and are serving as models to other universities that have courses in entrepreneurship for engineers. Dissemination plans include conference presentations, particularly at the National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance Annual Conference, and journal publication on the case studies. They also will publish booklets on their cases and make teaching notes available to instructors.

该项目正在为工程师创业本科课程开发跨学科教育内容。 通过熟悉创业的基本原理，学生能够更好地设计工程解决方案，以满足客户在日益全球化的市场需求。该项目正在编写两个案例研究沿着以及相关的教学说明和教学材料。 它还在编写材料，以支持为学生举办的小型会议，以培养创造力，并鼓励他们构思可能商业化的新的或改进的产品或服务。最后，他们正在制定评估规则，以评估项目成果，这些工具和由此产生的数据有助于现有的知识和研究，以教授工程师创业，并作为其他大学的模式，为工程师提供创业课程。传播计划包括会议介绍，特别是在全国大学发明者和创新者联盟年度会议上，以及案例研究的期刊出版。 他们还将出版关于他们案例的小册子，并向教员提供教学笔记。
