Alumni endows faculty positions in several schools and supports competitive grants to develop new courses in entrepreneurship. Schools have to commit to funding and integrate entrepreneurship courses in their curricula. But the permanent endowment is very important to minimize the hassle of getting cash-flow from all schools and alumni every year. In a way, we are really developing an entrepreneurial business. For example, our Eng.
School has no departments.
Entrepreneurship is really the way Eng. Education should be taught. Our required courses always had sequence courses that included business plans etc. The mass program is good but there is no well-focused program on entrepreneurship. Students don't want to go to the business school for that, they want the engineering school to do something.
