Abstract
- Creativity and innovativeness are among the most essential attributes of engineering graduates and also of successful entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurship, or the process of starting a new venture, is one of the main roads to new technological innovations. This paper presents two novel models of entrepreneurship education integrated in computer science and computer engineering curricula and geared towards computing students with entrepreneurial intentions. To expose all computing students to entrepreneurial ideas and to spark their entrepreneurial spirit, we also developed several entrepreneurship add-on modules for existing CS and CE disciplines. All these programs have been developed and implemented at Hofstra University, with modules implemented also at Qatar University. Preliminary evaluation results are presented and discussed.
