Experience with an Entrepreneurship Minor for Engineering Students
McRae C. Banks, Worcester Polytechnic Institute
ABSTRACT:
In 1996 WPI developed an interdisciplinary minor in entrepreneurship aimed at
engineering and science majors. This presentation will explain how that came about
and how it has morphed over time in content and structure while remaining focused
(and becoming more so) on its target audience. Despite its relative longevity the
minor has met with limited success. The reasons behind that will be discussed as
they are instructive for other schools planning such a program. Also discussed will
be how all this has spawned other initiatives that have broadened the reach of the
entrepreneurship program.
