ENTREPRENEURIAL MINDSET DEVELOPMENT in BUSINESS and ENGINEERING EDUCATION - AN EXPERIMENT

Abstract

This paper presents an experimental comparative study into the entrepreneurial mindset of engineering and business students at a Canadian University. The study wants to test if the discipline has an effect on students perceptions of their entrepreneurial mindsets, when engaged in a similar educational approach. Key findings show that entrepreneurship can be taught and that there are differences in mindset change related to the discipline.
