Holistic approach for technology entrepreneurship education in engineering

This paper discusses a comprehensive strategic approach being carried out by the A. James Clark School of Engineering at the University of Maryland for facilitating technology entrepreneurship for undergraduate and graduate students as well as faculty in diverse technical disciplines. Our objectives are to foster an increasingly entrepreneurial culture that helps students and faculty understand the fundamentals and feasibility of forming technology enterprise, to help them establish and manage sustainable ventures and to accelerate commercialization of technologies developed on campus.
