"It stretches no point to suggest that creativity, innovation and
risk-taking will decide our future societal prosperity. We cannot
spread those values too widely, so having taught engineering
faculty in their first book, these authors now aim to boost the
spirit across all disciplines. What a great success for all of us
if they succeed." - Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr., president of Purdue
University and former governor of Indiana Despite the relevancy of
the entrepreneurial mindset for all career paths, only a small
percentage of the higher education student population takes part in
entrepreneurially-minded learning opportunities. This gap can be
attributed to several factors. From a program perspective, many
degrees are already at credit capacity which allows limited room in
the existing curriculum to add new courses. From a student
perspective, entrepreneurship education is thus positioned as
optional and requires extra time (and in some cases tuition) to do
so. Finally, from an educator perspective, the majority of faculty
members across the university have not been trained in
entrepreneurship and may not know where to start. Teaching the
Entrepreneurial Mindset Across the University: An Integrative
Approach overcomes these challenges by providing higher education
faculty with a toolkit, including tips and strategies, to integrate
the entrepreneurial mindset into existing courses regardless of
discipline. The book is broken into three core parts: Motivation:
The importance of the entrepreneurial mindset for all students is
established; Design: The Entrepreneurial Mindset Teaching Blueprint
is introduced as a tool for integrating entrepreneurially-minded
curricular learning experiences within existing courses;
Application: Example entrepreneurially-minded curriculum from
across the university are provided. By integrating the
entrepreneurial mindset across the curriculum, students from all
disciplinary backgrounds will be better prepared to enter the
workforce, solve complex social issues, and leverage
entrepreneurial thinking in their everyday lives. This book is
meant for educators who want to make an impact and truly prepare
graduates for the real world.
