Research- and Evaluation-Informed Entrepreneurship Education: What Do the Data Tell Us? NCIIA Open Conference March 22, 2013 –Washington D.C. Grant Number: Helen Chen Shannon Gilmartin Alan Peterfreund Angela Shartrand 1

Session Objectives 2 Update on current Epicenter research and evaluation projects Participate in a hands-on design experience to connect entrepreneurship research to curricular choices Inspire new ideas for entrepreneurship curricula and module design at your campus

Session Outline 1. Brief overview of Epicenter research and evaluation 3 2. Break into “Reading Groups” to review and discuss research findings on entrepreneurship education 3. Move into “Design Groups” to apply findings to entrepreneurship course and module design 4. “Pitch” your new courses and modules!

Epicenter Mission The Epicenter is dedicated to unleashing the entrepreneurial potential of undergraduate engineering students across the United States to create bold innovators with the knowledge, skills and attitudes to contribute to economic and societal prosperity. 4

Epicenter Research and Evaluation Update Epicenter research projects: 1.Institutions and programs: What are models of entrepreneurship education for undergraduate engineers? 2.Students: How do engineering students experience entrepreneurship education? 3.Graduates: What are the entrepreneurship experiences of engineering alumni? 4.Courses: How can entrepreneurship content be integrated into engineering courses? 5

Epicenter Research: Select Findings What are the entrepreneurship experiences of engineering alumni? 6

2012 Evaluation Baseline Survey: An Overview Purpose: 1.To establish a baseline in order to assess changes over time in I&E initiatives 2.To assist Epicenter team in setting priorities and allocating resources Respondents: 144 Engineering faculty members and administrators from 90+ institutions Three cohorts: ASEE Campus Reps, Epicenter Retreat participants, ASEE Newsletter subscribers

Student Engagement

Engagement: Faculty & Schools N = 144

Leadership Support

Challenges Common challenges (from open-ended responses): 1.Finding space in the engineering curriculum 2.Overcoming faculty (and admin) resistance 3.Identifying funds 4.Building expertise

Current and Desired Gap

Needs Assessment Institutions Assistance in developing I&E-friendly policies Examples of and information about successful models Assistance identifying possible funding sources Faculty & Curricula Access to modular content, especially for existing courses Professional development Tools for assessing student learning Participation in a community of practice / social movement

Session Outline 1. Brief overview of Epicenter research and evaluation Break into “Reading Groups” to review and discuss research findings on entrepreneurship education 3. Move into “Design Groups” to apply findings to entrepreneurship course and module design 4. “Pitch” your new courses and modules!

Mini-Article Review Reading Group 1 (Circles): A synopsis of: Lucas et al. (2009). Industry placement, authentic experience and the development of venturing and technology self-efficacy. Technovation, 29, Reading Group 2 (Squares): A synopsis of: Neck and Greene. (2011). Entrepreneurship education: Known worlds and new frontiers. Journal of Small Business Management, 49, Reading Group 3 (Triangles): Excerpts from: Schar et al. (2013). Bending moments to business models: Integrating an entrepreneurship case study as part of core mechanical engineering curriculum. Paper accepted for presentation at the annual meeting of the American Society for Engineering Education, Atlanta, GA. 15

Mini-Article Review Questions to discuss in your Reading Group: 1.What are the main takeaways of these findings for entrepreneurship course and module design? 2.How do these findings resonate with your own insights and experiences in teaching and researching entrepreneurship education? 3.What new questions and ideas emerge for you as you read this research? 16

Session Outline 1. Brief overview of Epicenter research and evaluation Break into “Reading Groups” to review and discuss research findings on entrepreneurship education 3. Move into “Design Groups” to apply findings to entrepreneurship course and module design 4. “Pitch” your new courses and modules!

Design Tasks Setting the stage: You’ve been asked to be part of a faculty design group to design an ENTREPRENEURSHIP-RELATED COURSE OR MODULE that will engage engineering students. 18

Design Tasks Your design group will work on one of the following three tasks: Design Task Senior: Design a senior capstone design course that has the explicit objective of teaching 1-2 entrepreneurship skills. This capstone course includes both engineering and business students. Design Task Tech: Develop a module for a core technical course in the engineering curriculum. The module is designed to teach students how to situate engineering concepts in an entrepreneurial frame. Design Task First-Year: Develop an introductory engineering course for first-year students that tasks them with developing a new technology concept for underserved communities. Students will learn about entrepreneurship as part of the segment on “bringing your technology to market”. 19

Design Tasks Questions to address: Which type of faculty member(s) will teach this course/module? What are the core entrepreneurial skills you would focus on? How is the course/module reflecting Neck and Greene’s idea of “entrepreneurship as method”? How is it addressing Lucas et al.’s “authenticity of experience”? Drawing from Schar et al., how is it integrating entrepreneurship knowledge and engineering knowledge? (If you are going to employ a case, what will the case narrate and show?) How would you pitch this course in 2-3 minutes to prospective students? 20

Move into “Design Groups” to apply findings to entrepreneurship course and module design 4. “Pitch” your new courses and modules!

Design Groups “Pitch your course” in 2-3 minutes: How would you “market” this course to eligible students? What’s the draw (especially for engineering students)? 23

Session Objectives 24 Update on current Epicenter research and evaluation projects Participate in a hands-on design experience to connect entrepreneurship research to curricular choices Inspire new ideas for entrepreneurship curricula and module design at your campus
