“…A broad set of constituencies including the National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance (an initiative of the Lemelson Foundation) and the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology have recognized that engineering graduates need a broad range of skills and knowledge beyond a strong science and engineering background [6][7][8][9][10][11]. Engineering students are rarely exposed to entrepreneurship in undergraduate or graduate programs [1,2,12], which focus on design-and-build projects emphasizing technical excellence instead [e.g., [13][14][15].…”

There is a small but growing body of evidence that entrepreneurship programs add value to students, the degree programs in which they are housed, and the institutions that host them. The Engineering Entrepreneurs Program at North Carolina State University, a program in which undergraduate students participate in design teams formed around technology start-up company themes, was started with funding from the NSF-sponsored SUCCEED (Southeastern Universities and Colleges Coalition for Engineering Education) Coalition primarily to improve the confidence and retention of engineering students.Multiple assessment approaches including surveys, focus groups, interviews, longitudinal assessment of retention and academic performance, and anecdotal evidence triangulate on the success of this program at meeting its primary objectives and others. Particularly, the longitudinal study revealed that program participants had higher engineering retention rates (70 percent vs. 51 percent) and GPAs (3.08 vs. 2.83) than a matched set of non-participants. The program and its rigorous assessment serve as models for the engineering entrepreneurship community.
