Entrepreneurial activities have been driving forces of economies worldwide, bringing innovation and change to societies and pulling countries out of recessions. Increasingly, technology-driven innovation and entrepreneurship have become the key competitive advantages for a region or nation. There has been a push for universities to produce more entrepreneurs that can handle the challenges of today's world, and many engineering programs have begun to incorporate entrepreneurial education. Additionally, there has been an increased emphasis on systems thinking as an important capability for engineers as they seek to address complex challenges. This paper describes a scan of program offerings at Canadian post-secondary schools that address the topics of Entrepreneurship and Innovation and looks for evidence of Systems Thinking Teaching within the courses and curriculum.
