Open: NCIIA 14th Annual Conference

Engineering is a meticulous and methodical neat freak; entrepreneurship is a disheveled compulsive gambler. Engineering lived happily in a crowded but fastidiously kept curriculum; that all changed when Entrepreneurship moved in and started unpacking. This is the story of how the two have gotten along and how they're able to share the same space. This paper gives a map of a prototypical mechanical engineering curriculum and overlays it with various entrepreneurial engineering educational elements. The paper includes a basic review of some of the various tools and techniques used to weave in entrepreneurial engineering elements, including one such technique developed at the University of Detroit Mercy: the technical entrepreneurship video-rich case study.
