Entrepreneurship in engineering education: Graz university of technology as a case study

Abstract

Encouraging entrepreneurship has become a topic of high priority in university policy. Entrepreneurial activities are regarded as a driving force of innovation. The popularity of entrepreneurship education is reflected in the large and growing number of institutes of higher education that offer courses on the topic. However, entrepreneurship is still underrepresented in engineering education. This paper presents and evaluates entrepreneurial activities at Graz University of Technology.
